White House Blames Incumbent Status For Electoral Defeat

A general view of the White House in Washington

During a recent White House briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed questions regarding President Joe Biden's accountability for Vice President Kamala Harris' electoral defeat. Jean-Pierre emphasized that President Biden is proud of his accomplishments and believed that passing the torch to Vice President Harris was the right decision at the time.

While Jean-Pierre did not directly answer whether Biden regrets not dropping from the race sooner, she highlighted the challenges faced by the administration, including global headwinds and disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. These factors, she suggested, had a political toll on many incumbents.
