Monday marked the one-year anniversary of Joe "sharp as a tack" Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and being replaced by his VP Kamala Harris.
Harris might have been better off not trying to commemorate the occasion because it was nothing but backfire.
One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States.

Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future. And today, millions of Americans continue to stand up… pic.twitter.com/DfppWIIrCy
Looking back, the "preferred narrative vs. reality" gap was incredibly stunning. Throw Tim Walz into the mix as a way to endear the ticket to midwestern men and... yikes.
Also take into account how we know the election went last year while remembering the picture the media was attempting to paint. In this case, New York Magazine presented an offering that we covered at the time and it's still incredible:

Yikes. We've never seen a bigger example of "trying to make something out of nothing." And nobody bought it.
Look how small and in the background the then current President of the United States, Joe Biden, was in that rendition.

The memo had already gone out and Joe had been written off long before the official announcement came.
Never underestimate their ability to manufacture any narrative. Any. https://t.co/C30hAmTp44

Nothing about it was real, but that didn't stop them from trying.
“…the Democratic Party discovered its future was actually in the White House all along.”

Correct: lost, unable to find or stick with a message, rudderless, doomed to punchlines, ineffective, hemorrhaging support, and incompetent. https://t.co/XDyRqp6e1r
No amount of propaganda could ever make her cool.

They tried, but it never worked. Zero swing state victories for Harris can't be wrong.
