The people surrounding Joe Biden blame Nancy Pelosi for Kamala Harris’ election loss as Democrats have begun to bicker over who caused the party’s disaster.
It came as the president, 82, reacted to Harris’ concession speech at Howard University Wednesday.
The blame game went into overdrive last night, as Biden confidantes told senior White House reporters they hold the former Speaker of the House responsible for him being pushed out of the race.
‘Bidenworld’ sources claim that not only should the president have stayed in the race but that he would have won the white working-class voters who Harris largely ceded to Donald Trump.
The claim that Pelosi got him out of the race is comparable to how Biden blames Barack Obama for demanding he not run in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.

The bickering over who was to blame for Kamala Harris ‘ defeat at the presidential election began in earnest even before the result was declared, with everyone from Tim Walz to white women to Biden himself
However, there was also a sense of treachery within the president’s ranks, as sources told CNN Senior White House correspondent Kayla Tausche that he himself ‘was more deeply unpopular than anyone grasped.’
Other Democrat insiders have blamed Tim Walz for being too left wing, too folksy, and too tainted by the Kenosha riots, while others blamed every demographic possible.
Not enough white women showed up, too many black men switched to Donald Trump since 2020, and Hispanic voters abandoned the party.
Media analysts also speculated Joe Biden should have pulled the plug on his candidacy well before his disastrous debate performance.
This would have either given Harris more time to establish herself, or allowed for an open primary to select a stronger candidate, they argued.
Earlier Tuesday, Biden seemed to begin the peaceful transition of power by offering an olive branch to Trump.
Later, he offered his reaction to Harris’ teary-eyed concession speech.
‘What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire. She’s been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character,’ he wrote.

Biden said very little about her loss itself but complimented her on running a ‘historic campaign’ despite ‘extraordinary circumstances’ after he was forced out of the race.
‘As I’ve said before, selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became the nominee for president in 2020. It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America’s story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she’ll continue writing that story,’ he added.
He finished by saying ‘she will continue to be a leader out children will look up to for generations.’
Biden has called Trump to congratulate him for his dominant victory over Harris and invited him to the White House.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief extended the olive branch to the president-elect a week after calling his supporters ‘garbage’ and hours after he was confirmed as his successor.
The White House confirmed Biden and Trump spoke on the phone on Wednesday afternoon and ‘emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together’ as well as a ‘smooth transition’.
Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung confirmed that the once again president-elect had accepted.
‘President Trump looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly, and very much appreciated the call,’ Cheung said in a statement.
Trump and Biden met on the debate stage in June in a performance that sparked the litany that forced the Democrat to drop out of the race

Trump and Biden frequently exchanged very personal jabs during the campaign, with the Republican targeting the president’s decline and the Democrat saying he was the sort of person he would like to ‘smack in the a**‘.
Biden has said he will go to Trump’s inauguration, after the president-elect skipped his in 2020 and instead flew straight to Mar-a-Lago.
Harris had a warning for the president-elect, lecturing him even as she congratulated him.
The vice president’s concession call, which was confirmed shortly before 2 pm ET, came after Michigan was called for the president-elect, giving him the third state in the ‘blue wall’ of states that would decide the election.
Trump’s team confirmed the Harris call and said the president-elect acknowledged Harris’ ‘professionalism’ and ‘tenacity.’
Harris is on track to do worse than Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 presidential election. She could even be on pace to have the worst Electoral College result of any Democrat since the 1988 race.
Democrats were counting on the ‘blue wall’ to give Harris the White House. But Trump won the trio of states – Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
