Polls showed Biden was well behind Trump. Harris closed the gap and still lost. It is delusional to think a diminished figure like Biden could have closed the gap.

The reality is Biden was not fit for office and should haves stepped down as candidate in 2023 so the party could run an actual primary and fresh campaign.

Instead the ego and hubris of one old man and his hangers on has gifted the election to trump.

It's worth noting 1/3 of thee electorate didn't vote and that in the end 150,000 votes would have swung the electoral college. The fight was to win over just some of that 1/3 and get them to vote - it is not about republicans and never has been.
