Joe Biden is ultimately to blame for Donald Trump's election win, according to an analysis.

The president who defeated Trump in 2020 should have stepped down after one term, according to Daily Beast special correspondent Michael Daly, rather than attempt to run for re-election at 81 years old.

"The Democrats then could have then selected somebody the usual way, with primaries," Daly wrote. "Maybe Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s governor, would have been a candidate. Maybe it would have been Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan’s governor. The result could have actually been the first woman president."

"Whoever it was, he or she would have been the party’s choice," he added. "And the duly chosen candidate would have been in a better position than Vice President Kamala Harris was to call Donald Trump a threat to democracy."

Harris was saddled with Biden's unpopular record, and Trump was able to mute her criticism on his own record.

"One thing Trump was right about was that Harris had become the Democratic candidate without a single vote," Daly wrote. "Too much else of what Trump said was dangerously false. But he is going to the White House nonetheless."

CNN roundtable on Tuesday debated the apparent strong performance of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, following his apparent locking down of North Carolina — and the subject turned to how voters perceive the economy.

"Generally speaking, he is overperforming with what he did in 2020 and she is underperforming what Joe Biden did in 2020. At this point, it's a narrow defeat for Harris," said Chris Wallace.

"The other thing about North Carolina, you do have kind of a sense of the country in the state of North Carolina, in that, there are growing minority populations, and there is a growing suburban, maybe more moderate population in and around the big cities, so that is why the Harris campaign thought with the dynamics of the country right now that she would have a better shot," said Dana Bash.

"But look, the headwinds of the economy, the inflation that people are feeling, the difficulty in their everyday lives."

"She could not outrun the Biden economy," agreed Audie Cornish.
