Analysts React To Biden’s Remarks About Harris: ‘Literally Trying To Destroy Her Campaign’

 President Joe Biden’s remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris and his decision to upstage her political rally on Friday set the internet ablaze and led many to ponder the question of whether he was trying to sabotage her chances.

Biden unexpectedly took to the podium at the White House press briefing on Friday at the exact time that Harris took the stage for her rally in Detroit, Michigan.

CNN even noted that it was planning to switch coverage to Harris’ rally right when Biden walked into the press briefing in a move that was “clearly overshadowing” Harris, the network said.

During the press briefing, Biden also destroyed any notion that Harris has not been on board with all the decisions that he has made as president — a remark that could damage her politically as she looks to distance herself from his disastrous record.

“I’m in constant contact with her,” Biden said. “We’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws that are being employed now.”

“She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass,” he continued, adding that her staff and his staff are “interlocked” on everything.

 

CNN senior political analyst Scott Jennings responded to Biden’s remarks: “He is literally trying to destroy her campaign and it’s just incredible.”

“This is 100% accurate,” Donald Trump Jr. said when reacting to the clip. “When Kamala finally put up her policy page most of it was cut and pasted from Joe Biden’s page.”

“She didn’t even bother to change the source code,” he continued. “Kamala Harris owns this disaster of an administration just as much as Joe Biden does.”

Numerous users joked that Biden’s remarks were a Trump campaign ad and should end with hearing Trump saying, “I am Donald Trump and I approve this message.”

“The next time some reply guy insists that Kamala Harris has no power and influence and therefore is responsible for none of the administration’s failures, just play this clip for them,” said Red State writer Bonchie.

“Biden’s done more pressers than Kamala since she stole the nomination from him,” said Republican communications strategist John Cooper.

Others surmised that there was a real chance that Biden wanted Harris to lose after the party forced him to drop out of the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance in late June.

Biden has also pledged following his ouster that he would hit the campaign trail hard for Harris, but “so far, he’s been mostly a no-show,” the AP reported.
