Biden’s Kamala snub on Election Day: Joe ditching watch party as Jill makes bold statement with voting outfit

Joe Biden will not attend Kamala Harris’ Election Night watch party, while First Lady Jill Biden stepped out in a striking red dress as she hopes the election map remains blue.

Both the president and first lady — who have been largely excluded from the campaign since Harris took the top of the ticket — will watch the returns from home.

“Tonight, the President and First Lady will review the election results at the White House residence with longtime aides and senior White House staff,” a White House official said in a statement.

“The president will receive regular updates on the state of races across the country.”

Jill was spotted voting in a bright red pantsuit, leading some to wonder if she had turned around and voted for Donald Trump.

The president has largely been kept out of the spotlight following a huge gaffe in which he called Trump’s supporters “trash.”

On Sunday, as the Democratic nominee made her final bid for election, Harris assembled a star-studded squad of political big names and sent them into the tightest swing states:

Barack Obama attended a rally in Wisconsin. Bill Clinton was out and about in North Carolina. Even the current First Lady, Jill Biden, took a dig at Harris and greeted voters in Pennsylvania.

But Joe Biden was nowhere to be seen.

He was holed up in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware – a comfortably blue state – enjoying a long lunch at his golf club with an old friend.

Days earlier, Biden had embarrassed Harris with another gaffe, apparently calling Donald Trump’s supporters “trash.” Publicly, the White House insisted that he had not, in fact, said what everyone had heard.

But behind closed doors, the Harris campaign’s message to Joe was clear: stay away.

To be sure, Biden’s life has changed dramatically in the past three months. After entering the year insisting he was fit enough to run again and beat Trump, Biden ultimately dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed Harris as his replacement the same day.

Within hours, the 81-year-old Biden had become what he – and his very ambitious wife – had always feared: a lame president.

After four years at the center of the political universe, Biden suddenly disappeared from the spotlight — as the world’s attention shifted to a younger, exuberant candidate.

This rapid relegation to the political periphery appears to have been actively – perhaps brutally – encouraged by Harris’ team.

According to a report from Axios, the Harris campaign last month rejected the president’s repeated offers to help her along the way.

Team Harris’ response every time: we’ll get back to you.

Privately, Jill Biden has described the situation as “difficult” for her husband.

In early October, Jill left her husband to campaign for Harris in five key states. As she left the White House, the president stood alone outside the Oval Office and waved goodbye as her motorcade drove away.

For her part, the First Lady is keeping herself busy. She still teaches English two days a week at Northern Virginia Community College. But as she campaigns for Harris, it’s noticeable that she barely mentions her husband.

Harris has taken pains to emphasize that her presidency would not be “a continuation of Joe Biden’s.”

Biden’s record on the immigration crisis, inflation and foreign wars is something Harris has awkwardly tried to distance herself from, despite also insisting she has been an active vice president.
