Nate Silver says he has “a lot of sympathy” for Kamala Harris after her loss, saying that Joe Biden “did her no favors”—although he maintained that she was still a “replacement-level candidate” in her own right.

Pollster Nate Silver said he has “a lot of sympathy” for Vice President Harris after her loss to President-elect Trump because President Biden “did her no favors” before or after he dropped out of the presidential race this summer.

President-elect Donald Trump clinched the White House in a decisive victory last week after sweeping the seven battleground states. Silver, who declared the race a toss-up up until Election Day, said in Friday’s post that Trump’s win was largely President Biden’s fault and argued Harris was not a strong enough candidate.

Nate Silver called Kamala Harris a "mediocre" and "replacement-level" candidate in an edition of his newsletter reflecting on the 2024 presidential election. The post Nate Silver Calls Out ‘Mediocre Candidate’ Kamala Harris and ‘Unpopular’ Biden Over Trump’s Victory first appeared on Mediaite.
