But make no mistake: this was Joe Biden's defeat everyone looks back at all the losing candidate's decisions and gaffes for a sign of where it went wrong He's widening his leads in red areas and narrowing his losses in blue ones Vice President Kamala Harris was carried along on a brilliantly orchestrated handoff, to be sure. But she picked a dud of a running mate in Tim Walz instead of Josh Shapiro, the popular governor of Pennsylvania She also hid from the press then stumbled in interviews and delivered 'word salad' speeches Though none of that now seems to have mattered – for in the end She couldn't escape her role in the coverup of his cognitive decline Nor could she escape his disastrous legacy Harris gave the Democrats enough enthusiasm to stave off a wider collapse The election ended pretty much where it was in July – a Trump blowout Americans forgave a lot of Trump's misdeeds Not because they changed their opinions of him but because they believed he could do a better job than Biden Years of runaway inflation ate away at family budgets. The border was let open. Crime surged. Afghanistan was abandoned to the Taliban after Americans had bled there for 20 years. Putin and Hamas ran wild Crazy woke policies on gender pushed men into women's sports Democrats faced setbacks with blue-collar white Midwesterners and Southerners in North Carolina and Georgia Arab voters in Michigan abandoning Kamala over the Gaza war were the icing on the cake Every time Biden surfaced in the campaign, he made things worse. He said Trump needed to be locked up, and that his voters were 'garbage'. But he also defended Ron DeSantis when Harris tried to say the Florida governor was refusing to take her calls as devastating hurricanes barreled toward the Southern state All the rest – the indictments, the endless harping on about January 6, the effort to throw Trump off the ballot, even the confected controversy over a roast comic telling bad jokes – fell flat. It turned out that Americans cared more about themselves than about Trump. And they just decided, millions of them, that they were better off under him than under Biden. Biden was handed a popular majority, control of both Houses of Congress, a compliant mainstream media, an atmosphere of national emergency during the Covid pandemic, and historians telling him he could be transformational. Time for Joe to slink off to a retirement home. And time for the Democrats to go back to the drawing board. This isn't working – and Americans have had enough.
