Biden destroyed Harris bid by staying in race too long, top adviser says in book
Briefly

According to David Plouffe, a former aide to Kamala Harris, Biden's decision to run for the 2024 presidency and his late withdrawal cost the campaign dearly. The upcoming book "Original Sin" outlines a disastrous 107-day campaign for Harris, highlighting concerns about Biden's cognitive decline and his capability to perform in a competitive election. Many insiders voiced worries yet continued to support Biden's campaign, sparking internal debates over his mental acuity and the viability of his re-election.
Plouffe emphasized that Biden's decision to run again was fundamentally flawed, stating "He totally fucked us... reflecting on the former US president's decisions to run for re-election."
In the wake of Harris' loss, Plouffe's critique highlighted critical donor concerns: "I received calls from donors worried about Biden's diminishing energy and cognitive skills."
