Democrat California Sen. Adam Schiff said Sunday on NBC News Sunday that former Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election to President Donald Trump due to being a “status quo” candidate.
Despite polls showing a tight race between Harris and Trump in 2024, the president won both the Electoral College and the popular vote for Republicans, leading Democrats to question their mistakes. While on “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker began by bringing up a new book by author Chris Whipple in which it is alleged how Biden had repeatedly been “struggling to focus” before withdrawing from the race.

“Do you think that former President Biden’s advisers misled the American people about his capacities?” Welker asked.
“You know, it’s hard for me to gauge what they’re the closest advisers to the president were seeing at the time, ” Schiff responded. “I can only speak to the interactions that I had with him, which were, you know, in the months leading up to his getting out of the race, largely ceremonial occasions. But, you know, I will say this. He made the decision to get out of the race. I think that was the right decision.”
