Deep dives
Biden's Discontent and Republican Dynamics
Joe Biden expresses a notable sense of satisfaction amidst the Democratic turmoil following Kamala Harris's loss to Donald Trump in the election. This situation positions Biden as the only individual who has managed to defeat Trump, albeit briefly, leading him to feel vindicated against his former vice president and her administration. His unhappiness with his team, particularly Kamala Harris, stems from the belief that he was unfairly ousted for someone less competent, reflecting a deep resentment towards the circumstances that led to his political decline. As he navigates this complex landscape, Biden’s feelings of being slighted and his perception of lost legacy highlight the fractious dynamics within the party and the broader implications for future elections.
Fractured Democratic Party and Future Implications
The internal discord within the Democratic Party is more pronounced than ever, largely resulting from the conflict between Biden and Harris after her electoral defeat. Biden's decision-making during his presidency—particularly in regard to his stance on re-election—has fueled the ongoing rift, making it apparent that their strategic choices diverged significantly. The fallout of this discord could impact the party's ability to unify ahead of future elections, as loyalists on both sides grapple with diminishing trust. As their infighting continues, the likelihood of healing these fractures seems slim, setting the stage for potential challenges in upcoming political contests.
Looks like someone finally tracked down President Biden to break the news: Kamala lost—and lost big.

Stick around for Ben’s sharp reaction—it’s one you won’t want to miss.
