Joining the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris/Tim Walz blame game
Joe Biden's failure
This wouldn't have quickly turned into a failure if not for Biden's Afghanistan failure, 9.1% inflation in July, 2022, and gas that shot up to a national average of $5.01 a gallon in July, 2022. President-Elect Trump frequently says that inflation wrecks economies. In this instance, that's definitely true. That means this is Biden's failure, at least partially. The blame isn't entirely his, though.
Kamala Harris's failure
Without Harris casting the tie-breaking vote on the American Rescue plan while the economy was recovering nicely, we wouldn't have gotten to 9.1% inflation. Without that, Biden wouldn't have looked like an economic illiterate. That's when the American people realized that Biden was a stubborn-minded economic illiterate. That accelerated the loss of confidence in the Biden-Harris administration. The blame doesn't end there, though.
Tim Walz's failure
When Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the American people saw Biden's meltdown at the June 27th debate, Democrats started panicking. The Democrat establishment went into full panic mode. Eventually, the Democrat Establishment pushed Biden out of his re-election bid. When Biden endorsed Harris to be the nominee, that created an opening on the ticket with Kamala at the top of the ticket. The logical choice would've been to pick Josh Shapiro as her running mate.
The governor of the biggest battleground state, Shapiro surely would've delivered Pennsylvania. That alone would've been reason enough to pick him as her running mate. Harris was too worried about picking a Jewish man, though. She was worried about placating the Palestinian Muslims in Michigan. Harris needed to win both states. By picking Minnesota's DFL governor Tim Walz, Harris guaranteed that she'd win Minnesota, a state that last went for a Republican in 1972.
At the end of this interview, John Fund said that Tim Walz returned to Minnesota defeated, where his home county voted against him and where he'll become a trivia question within 6 years:
Tim Walz didn't add anything to the ticket. Period. He'll replace Alan Eagleton as the worst running mate pick in U.S. history. When people study the Harris-Walz ticket, the biggest lesson they'll learn is that this duo would be a perfect fit for the political version of Dumb and Dumber:
