BIDEN IS TOXIC: Rivals FLEE From Obama's Legacy!

The aftermath of a tumultuous 2024 election has left a noticeable void in the 2025 off-season races. Former President Biden, who once held the record for the most popular votes in a presidential election, and Vice President Harris, have largely remained absent from the campaign trail. While other prominent Democrats actively seek to rally support, their silence is striking. Political observers suggest their presence wouldn’t be welcomed, given the outcome of the previous race. One former chief counsel to House Judiciary Democrats bluntly stated that both the Biden and Harris administrations were viewed unfavorably, and candidates likely want to distance themselves from a leadership voters rejected. This year’s focus centers on a handful of key races: the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial contests, the New York City mayoral election, and a crucial California ballot measure concerning congressional redistricting. These elections are attracting significant attention and endorsements from high-profile Democrats eager to influence the outcomes. Former President Obama has offered video endorsements and is scheduled to rally for candidates in New Jersey and Virginia. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Hillary Clinton have also been actively fundraising and appearing at campaign events. Biden, however, has remained largely out of sight. He has issued no public endorsements for 2025 candidates, even as he publicly acknowledged a recent cancer diagnosis and a step back from public life. At a recent event, he spoke somberly, stating, “These are dark days…our very democracy is at stake.” Harris, while promoting her new memoir about the 2024 campaign – including Biden’s unexpected withdrawal – has offered limited support. She voiced support for a New York City mayoral candidate but stopped short of a full endorsement or campaign appearances alongside other contenders. Her team dismissed questions about her lack of involvement, offering vague references to fundraising efforts. Some see this distance as a strategic move. A conservative podcast host argues the Democratic Party is in decline, lacking leadership and a clear direction. They believe candidates are actively avoiding association with the Democratic brand, viewing it as politically damaging. The party is still navigating the fallout from Biden’s departure from the 2024 race, triggered by concerns about his mental acuity. His endorsement of Harris came as a scramble to unite the party with little time before the national convention. One former Trump official contends that Biden and Harris were merely “media props” masking the party’s increasingly radical agenda. They suggest even moderate Democrats are attempting to distance themselves from the previous administration’s policies. The lack of response from Biden’s office to inquiries about his silence speaks volumes. These races – in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City – are poised to be fiercely contested. New Jersey is seen as a potential flip opportunity for Republicans, while Virginia remains a battleground. New York City’s mayoral race is particularly captivating, featuring a self-described socialist leading in the polls, facing off against a former governor and a long-time Republican candidate. The campaigns themselves have remained tight-lipped regarding the absence of support from the former President and Vice President.
