EXCLUSIVE ‘It’s a blood bath’: Inside the White House blame game as backstabbing staffers and score-settling pundits rock a Democratic Party in crisis

EXCLUSIVE’It’s a blood bath’: Inside the White House blame game as backstabbing staffers and score-settling pundits rock a Democratic Party in crisis…

With the writing on the wall, Harris herself went to bed, refusing to concede defeat to Donald Trump until the following afternoon. By then, a Democratic blame game was already in full force.

‘It’s a blood bath,’ one observer noted of the rabid infighting – with no one spared humiliation.

President Biden and VP Harris broke bread on Tuesday when they lunched together for the first time in months. But there are no signs that the private time in the small dining room off the Oval Office has healed the hard feelings between the two sides.

Harris’s most loyal aides are putting her loss squarely on President Joe Biden – for his poor record on inflation and immigration, for his many verbal fumbles and, most importantly, for refusing to drop out of the race sooner.

Some insiders described the president as an ’81-year-old albatross hanging around Harris’s neck.’

On Friday last week, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – who is widely believed to have helped force Biden to step down – went a step further, brutally telling the New York Times: ‘Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race… there would be an open primary.’

The suggestion: A properly competitive race would have allowed a stronger candidate than Harris to emerge as nominee.

But Team Biden isn’t taking this lying down
