President Joe Biden is now the political equivalent of a forgotten sock in the laundry basket of the 2024 election race. The Vice President’s campaign team is apparently operating on a one-way communication system, as Biden’s requests to join Kamala Harris on the campaign trail remain unanswered. Reports indicate that whenever Biden tries to mobilize, the Harris camp simply promises to circle back and promptly ghosts him. Talk about getting left on read!
Harris’s team seems to have pinpointed Biden as more of a liability than an asset. Despite this unspoken truth, they are careful to dance around the issue, possibly fearing a blow to the delicate ego of their octogenarian commander-in-chief. After all, it’s not easy tiptoeing around someone with a presidential approval rating that feels more like a limp handshake. The last thing they want is to be associated with a president who appears to have the populace tuning out faster than a bad reality show.
Harris Team:
"Don't!"https://t.co/xIoDXd6t5m

Behind the scenes, the situation is resembling a slow-motion break-up. According to insiders, while Harris’s team is courteous, they are undoubtedly hesitant to associate with a man whose approval ratings hit rock bottom. It’s a classic case of wanting to move on but being stuck in a relationship no one wants to acknowledge. With Harris positioned to appeal to voters eager for change, the last thing she needs is to be tethered to reminders of Biden’s often tumultuous presidency.
A recent NBC News poll reveals the grim reality of Biden’s leadership: a mere 25 percent of voters report feeling better off since he took office, with nearly half saying they’ve taken a hit during his tenure. While Biden appears to be left frozen on the sidelines, Trump’s presidency continues gaining favor, with 43 percent of individuals feeling that his time in office benefits their families. Talk about a reversal of fortune!
With Election Day looming a little over a week away, it seems like all Biden’s campaign has done is play a game of hide and seek. No events are on the drawing board for the duo, leaving many to wonder if the Biden-Harris ticket is bound for an awkward separation before the election even takes place. It’s a remarkable turn of events when a sitting president isn’t just sidelined but is actively bundled off the campaign bus to avoid accountability. The election is shaping up to be a test of candidates but perhaps a poignant commentary on what happens when a party tries to distance itself from its leader.
