Senior Harris campaign advisor David Plouffe deleted his X account after backlash over a post that was perceived as a swipe at President Joe Biden as Democrats look for what went wrong for them in the presidential election.

Some Democrats are reportedly blaming Biden’s initial decision to run and his reluctance to step out of the race for Vice President Kamala Harris’s election loss.

Harris’s campaign ran a 100-day sprint after Biden ended his bid in July following pressure from senior Democrats and donors over his disastrous CNN debate performance against Trump in July.

As the results were confirmed and as Harris prepared to concede on Wednesday, Plouffe, who previously served as the Obama campaign manager, took to social media to thank his staff for their work.

In what many perceived as a swipe at Biden, Plouffe wrote: “We dug out of a deep hole but not enough. A devastating loss.”

According to Fox News White House senior correspondent Jacqui Heinrich one source in the Biden camp branded Plouffe a “sanctimonious ass” and another told her the tweet was “unproductive” – adding: “Joe Biden is the President of the United States and won without [Plouffe]. He successfully beat Donald Trump – something [Plouffe] never did.”

Amid the pile on, Plouffe deleted his account late Wednesday night without explanation.
