The 2024 election campaign is already shaping up to be a real circus, and the main acts are none other than President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. As the election looms just around the corner, it becomes clearer that Biden and Harris are about as compatible as oil and water. In fact, insiders suggest that the Biden administration would be wise to make Kamala Harris’ campaign headquarters a Biden-free zone. It seems the Vice President’s aides have made it abundantly clear—Biden’s presence could be as welcome as a skunk at a picnic.
Biden continues to face plummeting popularity, which is a significant problem for Harris, who is already in a sticky situation, tied to an administration that nobody seems to love. The Vice President’s campaign is stuck in the mud, unable to define a single thing that makes her different from the man sitting in the Oval Office. With just two weeks before the big day, Harris appears to be taking a page from the NFL playbook: when in doubt, just keep your distance from your quarterback. It’s not a strong strategy, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Will Joe Biden Join Kamala on the Campaign Trail? The Answer Is a Bit Eye-Opening

Despite Harris’ insistence that she will not be a mere extension of Biden’s presidency (despite a lack of specifics to back her up), Biden seems content to help his second-in-command from a distance. His strategy includes hanging out with labor leaders—because nothing screams voter enthusiasm like a good old-fashioned union meeting. And while Biden leans into his role as the sitting president, Harris is stuck trying to convince voters that she’s the fresh start they never asked for but definitely need. In political terms, this has all the makings of a high-stakes game of dodgeball, where Harris is trying to avoid anything even resembling Biden while standing in the ring.
The current plan to centralize Biden’s involvement by attending events without Harris is reminiscent of a sentimental sitcom: you wouldn’t want to ruin the tear-jerking moments with unwanted guest appearances. Senior strategists are likely biting their nails, hoping Harris can pull off her grand transformation into a change agent while simultaneously navigating the minefield that is her association with the president. It’s almost as if Harris is expected to wear a magician’s hat and make Joe disappear on cue, or at least chalk it up to “hocus pocus.”
The reflection of desperation in the Democratic camp is unmistakable. Both Biden and Harris have demonstrated a remarkable inability to connect with voters, leaving many scratching their heads and wondering if they accidentally tuned into a tragic comedy show. With both figures swimming against the tide of low approval ratings and lacking communication skills, it’s hard not to view their joint efforts as a spectacle that’s less about winning and more about survival. If Democrats think they can pull this off without a hint of humor, they may be in for a shocking plot twist—something that, unlike their current campaign, could actually grab attention for all the right reasons.
