President Joe Biden held a farewell party for the Democratic donors in the White House, which got quickly dubbed as ‘losers’ party’. Vice president Kamala Harris was not in the weekend party as she headed for a brief vacation in Hawaii with her husband Doug Emhoff for almost a week-long stay. Biden’s party was attended by Gov Tim Walz and his wife Gewn and other Dem leaders — but not of course Kamala Harris.
“Good evening everyone…If you have a seat, please take it.Don’t jump in the pool!” Biden said to his guests. “First Lady and I are hosting this dinner tonight for a very simple reason — to say thank you. Thank you to so many dear friends,” Biden said, as reported by PageSix.
“We began this journey to redeem the soul of the nation and define the light in the darkness. And I never could have gotten to where the White House has become without you and we never could have gotten as much done as we did without you. And that’s not hyperbole. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.”
PageSix reported that many donors decided to skip the bash calling it the losers party. “Many said they didn’t want to be associated with the Dems right now because of the embarrassing loss” to Donald Trump in the election, “and anger over the $1.5 billion spent on the campaign that failed,” the report said.
Those who attended say it was like a last hurrah and a lot of fun as there were free-wheeling chats and musical performances.
What’s next for Kamala Harris?
Though Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential election, she has been instructing advisers and allies privately to keep her options open, a Politico report said — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run or for California governor election.
