    Joe Biden “could have withdrawn sooner” to allow Kamala Harris to run a stronger campaign against Donald Trump, a former Barack Obama campaign aide has claimed.

    The Democratic candidate who succeeded President Biden in the election campaign suffered a crushing defeat against the Republican – and has remained silent about the result ever since.

    Speaking to GB News, campaign aide Spencer Critchley, who worked on Obama's campaign, claimed that Harris was already a “risky candidate” against Trump, but her “gender and race” presented an “additional handicap” in securing victory.

    Delivering his verdict on the Democrats' defeat, Critchley declared: “I don't think she was the wrong candidate, but I would say she was a risky candidate.”

    “I'm not going to attribute this result solely to the fact that she is a woman and that she is of mixed race, but that is definitely a factor – and with it the election of the first female president in the United States, and a non-white one at that .” Candidate was an additional handicap for her.

    Critchley predicted the mood within the Democratic camp after the result, calling on the administration to “pay close attention” and “understand why this is even close, given what most other Democrats and many Republicans think about Donald Trump as a person.” was”.

    Critchley noted President Biden's decision to withdraw from the campaign to give Harris a chance to compete for the White House, claiming that the 81-year-old “could have realized his reality sooner” to help his candidate in the race To enable a longer campaign ahead of the election.

    Critchley told presenter Martin Daubney: “There were definitely signs that he was getting older. So I think there’s a good case to be made that he could have recognized that reality sooner and perhaps not run for re-election in the first place.”

    “Obviously he was under a lot of pressure but it was up to him to make that decision, which I think was a fundamental decision. Without having direct knowledge of his actual health, I believe he is one of the most effective presidents we have had and will go down in history as such.”

    When Martin pressed on whether the Harris campaign was being “too negative” in its attacks on Trump, Critchley demurred, stating: “If we want to compare negativity, we only have to look at Trump's campaign, which literally described his opponents as Garbage,” and he called them scum over and over again, and he just won the election.

    Martin interjected, arguing: “He won the election by promising to control the borders and fix the economy. But I haven’t heard any policies from Kamala Harris other than abortion and Donald Trump, he’s a villain.”

    Responding to Martin, Critchley replied: “I would disagree with that too. Now I'm not defending the position that the Democrats are in, because we have to recognize that with Trump we obviously didn't reach more than half the country.” He won not only the Electoral College, but actually the popular vote.

    “But the Democrats, considering their opinion of Donald Trump, a man who once literally tried to overthrow democracy and has campaigned to do it again, quote Hitler directly. So we just call it like we see it.

    Critchley gave Democrats a lesson ahead of the next election, claiming they need to “figure out how to get their message across without alienating Trump supporters.”

    He told GB News: “I've been warning Democrats for a long time that they need to answer this question: If Trump is as bad as he is, how did we lose it?”

    “I firmly believe he is exploiting his followers – he doesn't care about them and he is a predatory fraudster. But whether I’m right about Donald Trump’s character or not, how could we lose to this guy?”

    “Democrats who were excited that we could get a victory, some kind of 51-49 victory, I was afraid the whole time that we would find that somewhat acceptable.”
