Gotta love it when left eats left.
Right now the Democrats don’t appear to be happy campers.
Among the unhappy campers is Joe Biden. When Biden stepped aside, many of the Democrats praised him and compared him ridiculously to George Washington. You had Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) say he should be on Mount Rushmore. One has to wonder if that obnoxious groveling praise was part of the deal for him to step aside.

But now the word is that Biden is unhappy and complaining behind the scenes because of how quickly Democrats have “moved on from him” after he was shoved to the side and how they’re not highlighting his accomplishments. He’s particularly ticked off that Kamala Harris isn’t mentioning him or Bidenomics enough.
The president was particularly upset at one instance in which the 59-year-old vice president did invoke his name — during her Sept. 10 debate against former President Donald Trump — but in an effort to distance herself from his policies.
“Clearly, I am not Joe Biden,” Harris said in response to an accusation from Trump that “she is Biden” when it comes to economic policy. “And I am certainly not Donald Trump. And what I do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country.”
Biden reportedly feels Harris should be playing up his economic policies, and that he should be mentioned when she talks about the “positive trajectory” of the economy, according to the report.
Now, that’s pretty hilarious. Sounds like they reneged on the deal for the praise. But of course they would, that’s the Democrats. It’s not about him, it’s always and only about how they can hold onto control. They don’t actually care about Biden himself.
It’s funny, because the only chance Harris to win is if she distances herself from him, yet he’s delusional to think she should play up his economic policies or to think he had a “positive trajectory” for the economy.
That may explain why Biden tried to hook Harris to him during his visit on “The View.”
BIDEN: “As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.”

The White House denied the report that Biden was upset, but of course they would.
The response of a Harris campaign official was something else when they were asked about this by NBC.
The official said that the campaign has “to tell people who [Harris] is and what she would do.”
But then check out what the official said next. This is something else.
“There wasn’t a real interest in hearing about [Biden’s] accomplishments when he was running,” the Harris campaign official added. “That’s still the case.”
Ouch, that’s cold.
That’s certainly true, but what a rebuke! That’s a “you’re old news, guy.” Way to throw the old-timer under the bus, Harris campaign. And just to be honest, there aren’t many “accomplishments” that they have to talk about from her. At least not anything good.
I’m just going to guess that isn’t going to help the Biden-Harris interaction as their time occupying office winds down. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw some passive-aggressive response back from Joe on this one.
