President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline and a string of gaffes in recent weeks have only made Kamala Harris’ path to the White House even more treacherous, so perhaps it isn’t all that surprising that he wasn’t among those in attendance at the vice president’s election night watch party on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, Biden’s absence appeared to highlight the growing rift between Biden and Harris.
According to the Daily Wire:
Biden will be watching the results just two miles away, in what appears to be the latest snub between the president and Harris.
“Tonight, the president and First Lady will watch election results in the White House residence with longtime aides and senior White House staff,” a White House official told the Washington Examiner. “The president will receive regular updates on the state of races across the country.”
Harris’ election night watch party is being held at her alma mater, Howard University, which is located in Washington, D.C., less than two miles from the White House.
Throughout Harris’ brief presidential campaign, Biden has appeared to subtly undermine the woman he previously picked to be his running mate, The Daily Wire reported.
The apparent bad blood between the two Democrats has been widely documented on social media:
How ironic is it that Biden–whose own party felt compelled to coup and remove from the spotlight over obvious mental deficiencies–may be the precise individual to end the Harris campaign? pic.twitter.com/3pGCv9586l

Biden right now is an ace campaigner for Trump – he is out to sabotage Harris so bad
Reminds me of one pretty little girl called Rahul from India!

Harris throws Biden under the bus saying “she will be the president for everyone” and will not bash voters based on who they vote for

No one is more excited for them to announce that Kamala Harris lost to Trump than Joe Biden. He hates her too. pic.twitter.com/9NwlHYEyCU

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump spent Election Night surrounded by loved ones and supporters, including Elon Musk.
According to BBC:
Musk, the owner of Tesla and X, has been aggressively campaigning for the Republican candidate in swing states across the country.
Trump’s campaign is hosting watch parties including at his Mar-a-Lago home and also Palm Beach Convention Center for thousands of supporters.
It is not clear which events Trump and Musk will attend, but a source familiar with Musk’s plans told CBS the pair will be together.
Earlier, Trump said he was going to host “a very special group of people, many of whom you know” in Mar-a-Lago.
“In addition we’ll have four or five thousand people at the convention center,” he said, speaking to reporters as he arrived to cast his ballot in Florida.
He said he would potentially go over to the convention center later on.
Here’s some additional coverage of recent remarks Biden made that were interpreted by some as possible evidence that he was trying to sabotage Harris’ campaign:
