Top Harris adviser deletes account after post suggesting criticism of Biden

David Plouffe, a top adviser to Vice President Harris's campaign, has deleted his account on the social platform X following a post that appeared to criticize President Biden following Harris's loss to former President Trump this week.

Saying it was a "privilege" to work on Team Harris, Plouffe wrote Wednesday his fellow campaign staff members "left it all out on the field" as they tried to keep Trump from a second White House term.

"We dug out of a deep hole but not enough," he added. "A devastating loss. Thanks for being in the arena, all of you."

Plouffe's post was hit with swift backlash, with screenshots showing the comments sparking hundreds of replied and engagements.

By 10 a.m. EST Thursday, his account had been deleted.

The top democratic strategist had suggested Monday that Harris could win all seven swing states. In reality, Trump won all seven, according to Decision Desk HQ projections.

Harris's loss, and that of both the Senate and, likely, the House, has left many Democrats dismayed about the party's future.

Some have criticized Biden for not getting out of the race earlier, while others have suggested Harris spent too much time attacking Trump or failed to communicate her economic agenda to the American people.

Biden's approval ratings was underwater at 40 percent around the time he dropped out of the race following a disastrous debate performance.
