Polling Pundit Nate Silver Names Biden White House's Most Appalling Election Move
HuffPost
Silver wrote that the president stepped on Harris' "message" after he abandoned his re-election bid.
Polling pundit Nate Silver on Friday argued that President Joe Biden did Vice President Kamala Harris “no favors” after he dropped out of the 2024 race in July.
Silver — founder of the polling analysis website FiveThirtyEight — wrote on his Silver Bulletin blog that Biden gave the vice president “tough assignments” on the border and voting rights while blowing up the debate calendar, something he dubbed one of her “best formats.”
“Even up to the bitter end, Biden was stepping on her message,” wrote Silver, who linked to a report on White House officials tweaking the official transcript of Biden’s “garbage” remarks.
He continued, “Most appallingly of all, the White House was bad-mouthing Harris to reporters, saying she was a worse option than Biden, even though their internal polls reportedly showed Biden losing 400 electoral votes, according to Jon Favreau of Pod Save America.”
Favreau, in remarks on the political podcast last week, claimed Biden’s internal polling indicated that he was “the strongest candidate” and privately told reporters that Harris “couldn’t win.”
