MORNING GLORY: Just how bad were the Biden and Harris campaigns?

Senate Democrats' post-debate panic and Trump campaign's success under Susie Wiles detailed in '2024,' revealing dysfunction that plagued Biden and Harris campaigns.

Every Democratic senator was present save for Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown, and the account is both full of hysteria and is pretty hysterical to read. (Senator Alex Padilla recited the Serenity Prayer, for example, and when Senator John Fetterman demands a show of hands of support for Biden and only Fetterman, Delaware’s Chris Coon’s and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois raise their hands.)Stuck into the account of this gathering is the demand from "Jack Reed of Rhode Island [who] said two independent neurologists should evaluate Biden and release their findings."Think about that. Reed is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services committee and a serious man. West Point. Harvard Law. Genuinely respected by his colleagues on both sides of the aisle. While many in his caucus are worried about politics, Reed is worried about whether President Biden has cognitive impairment.What Tapper and Thompson established with great detail in their book —that hundreds and hundreds of Democrats at the party’s highest levels had deep concerns about Biden— Dawsey, Pager and Arnsdorf largely avoid confronting while detailing like no other book to date the incredible dysfunction of both the original Biden campaign and its successor Harris campaign.

2024 is the stuff of nightmares for Democrats, nightmares that are not going away anytime soon. Can anyone in the party’s circle of consultants and donors actually run a campaign? The Beltway elites of the left are very long in the tooth and perhaps more angry with each other than they are with President Trump. The knives came out right after the Biden debate (Nancy Pelosi put her’s into Biden’s back; Chuck Schumer drove the dagger in from the front. Now lots of folks are carving up their rivals through interviews with book writers.)
