Democrat insiders have blamed “arrogant” Joe Biden for Kamala Harris’s election defeat, saying he set her up to fail by not dropping out of the race sooner.
“His legacy is in tatters,” said Jim Manley, a senior aide to former Democratic Senate majority leader Harry Reid. “The country is headed in a very dangerous direction and it’s due in part to his arrogance.”
“This is no time to pull punches or be concerned about anyone’s feelings,” Mr Manley told US news site Politico. “He and his staff have done an enormous amount of damage to this country.”
Mr Manley joined other influential Democrats criticising Mr Biden, who have said the party wasted months of campaigning when he held onto the presidential nomination too long.
Biden finally pulled out of the race in favour of the vice-president in late July.
“The truth of the matter is, Biden should have stepped aside earlier and let the party put together a longer game plan,” Democratic strategist Mark Longabaugh said.
Major Democrat donor and Wall Street investor Whitney Tilson told the Telegraph on Wednesday that the “stupidity and selfishness” of the US president had cost the party the election.
