A segment of the Democrats has begun to search for scapegoats in advance, predicting that if they lose the election, the primary responsibility may fall on President Joe Biden.
According to The Hill, Democrats believe that Biden failed to make a crucial decision in a timely manner—he hesitated too long to withdraw from the presidential race, which impacted Harris's reputation and prevented her from properly launching her campaign.
While some Democrats still hold out hope for a Harris victory, others are critically assessing a number of factors that have hindered the vice president's campaign from the outset. Discontent is growing as some voters feel the campaign lacks compelling economic solutions. Additionally, Harris is criticized for not having a clear stance on key issues, which, according to critics, may have diminished her appeal among a significant portion of the electorate.
Discussions continue within the Democratic Party about the potential serious repercussions for the party's image if Harris fails. One anonymous Democratic strategist suggested that in the event of a loss, "Democratic circles will soon start looking for culprits." Biden may be blamed for his prolonged indecision, which led to Harris having to start her presidential campaign under more challenging conditions than anticipated.
