Biden’s latest antics have led everyone to wonder: is he actively trying to sabotage Kamala Harris, or is old age simply catching up with him? The president’s evident forgetfulness might explain some slip-ups, but not all of them. For instance, Biden recently proclaimed that Harris would not follow in his footsteps, which is a curious statement considering Harris has made it crystal clear that she wouldn’t change a thing about the past four years. And let’s be real—who could blame her for that simplistic, lackluster response? After all, it’s tough to navigate an administration when it feels like the vice president is as lost as a tourist without a map in the middle of a corn maze.
What makes the situation even more exasperating is the apparent difficulty Harris faces in articulating her vision. When posed with the simple question of how she would differ from Biden, she stumbled like a toddler learning to walk. Instead, Biden clings to her like a life raft on a sinking ship, insisting that she was right there alongside him during every embarrassing policy misfire. It’s as if he wants her to wear all the blame while he remains safely ensconced in the cushy seat of the highest office.

During a rally in D.C., where Kamala tried to make her final pitch to potential voters, Biden managed to steal the spotlight—yet again—by launching into an unprovoked tirade against Trump supporters, calling them trash. This outburst came right on the heels of a raucous rally held by former President Trump himself, where a comedian cracked a joke about Puerto Rico. While the left seemed to be clutching their pearls over this comedic quip, they forgot that media outlets have long blasted Puerto Rico’s waste problems. But when Biden labels American citizens as garbage, it’s suddenly an acceptable political tactic? Not only does this make for an unflattering optics, but it also sidelined Kamala’s rally and left her camp fuming, feeling as though their boss was being actively undermined.
Harris’s team has made it clear that they see Biden’s outburst as a blatant attempt to sabotage her campaign, pointing to the absolute absurdity of him making such statements while she was mid-speech. Talk about bad timing! And let’s not overlook the greater implications here; creating a rhetoric that vilifies millions of Americans who simply supported a different candidate only serves to deepen divides. It’s precisely this kind of inflammatory rhetoric that has led to two attempted attacks on Trump. The irony is thick—how is it acceptable for the leader of the free world to call his political opponents garbage while a comedian’s light-hearted jab about Puerto Rico gets the media in a tizzy?
Meanwhile, even a Democratic figure, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, was compelled to denounce Biden’s comments. He argued that no matter how individuals vote, they deserve respect. In a political landscape rife with name-calling and division, perhaps it’s time for the Democratic leadership to take a long look in the mirror. After all, with Biden tossing casual insults at potential voters while looking out for his own political skin, American unity seems to be more of a distant hope than a reality. If a narrative emerges of behind-the-scenes chaos within the Biden-Harris camp, the voters might begin to see a picture of mismanagement and discord that could shake their confidence entirely.
The growing mess surrounding the White House and its co-captains has left many Americans raising their eyebrows and questioning their leadership. As Election Day looms, and the infighting appears more pronounced, one can only hope that clarity prevails and voters are not swept away by the whirlwind of chaos.
