Democrats Debate Biden's Role After Harris's Loss

Following Kamala Harris's significant defeat to Donald Trump, debates have arisen within the Democratic Party over strategy and candidate selection. Jamal Simmons, a former aide to Harris, suggested that President Joe Biden should resign to allow Harris to become the 47th president, citing his role as a transitional figure. Concurrently, Bakari Sellers and some liberal activists have proposed appointing Harris to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized Biden for not withdrawing from his reelection bid sooner, which she believes hindered the possibility of a more competitive Democratic primary. Pelosi and other Democrats argue that Harris might have been stronger if a primary had taken place earlier, suggesting internal discord and a need for reevaluation of their approach. The Democratic Party now faces internal blame for Harris's loss, with DNC official Lindy Li labeling her campaign a 'disaster'.
