    Blame the Democratic party and Joe Biden. They didn’t put anyone serious up during the primaries against him, they held out from replacing Biden until the last minute and then they lumped Harris with his campaign and no time.

    Biden should have stood aside last year (as many voices pushed for), and then the party’s best and brightest should have been given the chance to be the candidate. It might have been Harris, who knows, but whoever it was would then have had the whole of 2024 across the primaries to establish a profile and narrative and tackle Trump.

    And maybe a fresh candidate could have broken through on the most important topic to voters: the economy.
