(Daily Wire) President Joe Biden will not attend the election night watch party of his vice president and current Democrat nominee, Kamala Harris.
Biden will be watching the results just two miles away, in what appears to be the latest snub between the president and Harris.
“Tonight, the president and First Lady will watch election results in the White House residence with longtime aides and senior White House staff,” a White House official told the Washington Examiner. “The president will receive regular updates on the state of races across the country.”
Harris’ election night watch party is being held at her alma mater, Howard University, which is located in Washington, D.C., less than two miles from the White House.
Throughout Harris’ brief presidential campaign, Biden has appeared to subtly undermine the woman he previously picked to be his running mate, The Daily Wire reported.
During the only presidential debate between Donald Trump and Harris, the former Republican president insisted that Biden “hates” Harris, a line he would repeat at his rallies following the debate.
“He’s angry at her and he hates her. He can’t take much more. It was an overthrow,” Trump said, referring to Biden being replaced by Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee. “He can’t stand her,” Trump continued. “He got 14 million votes. They threw him out. She got zero votes.”
And Biden’s actions seem to suggest Trump may be right.
In October, Biden put on a “Trump 2024” baseball cap in a room full of Trump supporters after saying he wasn’t “going that far.” It was never clear whether Biden put on the hat because he was not aware of what it said – a nod to his declining faculties that caused him to drop out of the election – or whether it was a dig at Harris.
Biden also joined a White House press briefing – something he doesn’t usually do – just when Harris stepped on the stage in Michigan for a rally, The Daily Wire reported. During that press briefing, Biden made sure everyone knew that he and Harris were tied together when it came to the disastrous decisions made by their administration.
