[Delusions of...] Biden says Kamala Harris 'competent to run again' - and 'could have beaten Trump' despite crushing loss

WASHINGTON — Retiring President Biden declared Friday night that Vice 
President Kamala Harris was “competent” to be the Democratic presidential 
nominee in 2028 — and said she “could have” won in November despite her 
blowout loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

“I think she’s competent to run again in four years. That will be a 
decision for her to make,” Biden, 82, said just 10 days before leaving the 
White House.

The nation’s oldest-ever president at first ignored the question during an 
evening Q&A with journalists after he defended his own decision to seek 
re-election last year before dropping out and backing Harris as his 
successor just 107 days before the election.

Asked if he regrets running again and whether that made it easier for 
Trump to win a second non-consecutive term, Biden, who had appeared to 
tout monthly jobs-growth data, said, “I don’t think so.”

“I think I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump, and I think 
that Kamala could have beaten Trump, would have beaten Trump,” Biden said, 
looking down as he spoke and offering no explanation for Harris, 60, going 
on to lose all seven swing states.

“I thought it was important to unify the party,” Biden said of his 
decision to drop out amid a mutiny by fellow Democrats concerned about his 
mental acuity following a dismal June debate.

“And when the party was worried about whether or not I was going to be 
able to move — even though I thought I could win again, I thought it was 
better to unify the party,” Biden said.

“It was the greatest honor in my life to be president United States, but I 
didn’t want to be one who caused a party that wasn’t unified to lose an 
election. And that’s why I stepped aside, but I was confident she could 
win.”

Harris won the fewest Electoral College votes of any Democratic candidate 
since Michael Dukakis in 1988 and likely would face stiff competition for 
the nomination in 2028.

In a sign that she had been preparing for a continued political career, 
Harris planned to embark next week on a global tour touting what she 
regards as foreign policy achievements but nixed the whirlwind trip as 
deadly wildfires continue to tear through her home state of California.

She had planned to stop in Singapore to discuss the administration’s focus 
on Asia, then in Bahrain to discuss the Middle East and finally in Germany 
to recount the NATO response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Biden told reporters he plans to remain in the public eye after leaving 
office — unlike some predecessors, such as George W. Bush, who almost 
never makes public remarks on contemporary politics.

“I’m not going to be out of sight or out of mind,” he said.

forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.
