Harris campaign staffer deletes his X account after nasty dig at Biden

A senior campaign adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris has deleted her X account after appearing to take a swipe at President Joe Biden.

David Plouffe, who previously led Barack Obama’s successful bid for the White House, thanked members of the Harris campaign for their work, saying they “left it all on the field” in a message Wednesday night.

He then ended the message by saying, “We dug a deep hole, but not enough,” calling it a “devastating loss.”

Many online saw the message as a criticism of the president, who some Democrats now blame for Harris’ loss, saying he shouldn’t have run for a second term and should have dropped out of the race instead.

One unnamed source said to be close to the president even called Plouffe a “holy **” for Fox News and called his post “unproductive.”

The source added that “Joe Biden is the president of the United States and won without (Plauff). He successfully defeated Donald Trump — something (Plouffe) has never done.”

Due to the backlash, Senior Advisor deleted his X account as of 10:00 a.m. Thursday, according to The Hill.

He had previously been adamant that the presidential race was closer than the polls made it seem, calling them “horses***.”

“I cannot speak in public. I spend very little time looking at them … most of them are horse***,” Plouffe told Pod Save America last month.

“Some of them might be close, but overall I would say any poll that shows Kamala Harris up four or five points in one of those seven states, ignore it,” he said, citing on critical states on the battlefield.

“Any moment that shows Donald Trump like this – ignore.”

But Trump ultimately won his own election, and his margin of support even improved in most states that had gone blue.

While Democrats are now trying to figure out how they could have lost, some media analysts are suggesting that Biden should have abandoned his candidacy long before his disastrous debate performance.

They argued that this would either give Harris more time to establish himself or allow an open primary to select a stronger candidate.

Among those who subscribed to that view was NBC’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, who said during election night coverage that Biden’s timing would be “something that, if she actually loses, will be under the microscope.”

“Because there’s certainly been a lot of discussion, even over the summer, about potentially having an open primary and having that fight within the Democratic Party,” she said.

“So I think that’s one of the big questions going forward.”

But those closest to Biden instead pointed the finger at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

They hold her responsible for pushing Biden out of a race they believe he should have stayed in.

Bidenworld’s sources also claimed that if he had stayed in the race, he would have won over white working-class voters who overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
