Philadelphia Democratic Party Chair Bob Brady did not hold back in criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris following her election loss. In an interview with NBC10 Philadelphia, Brady claimed that Harris’s lack of coordination with the city’s Democrats ultimately led to her demise.
He expressed disappointment that the Harris campaign did not make an effort to work closely with the Philadelphia Democratic Party and provide more resources.
“I would’ve liked to see the Harris campaign – especially the national campaign – coordinate with us a little bit. Talk to us a little bit. Give us a little bit more resources. Show us some respect. Didn’t happen,” Brady stated.
He went on to accuse the Harris campaign of being elitist and not giving the local Democratic party the attention and support they deserved. He criticized the final pre-election rally held by Harris at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, calling it a waste of money and a major inconvenience for residents.
“They were just elitist and went out there, did their own thing and didn’t include Democratic city committee or (ward leaders) or committee people. They just didn’t do it,” Brady said, expressing his frustration.
Brady’s comments did not go unnoticed by the Harris campaign, who fired back at his remarks. According to NBC10 Philadelphia, campaign strategist Brendan McPhillips responded, “If there’s any immediate takeaway from Philadelphia’s turnout this cycle, it is that Chairman Brady’s decades-long practice of fleecing campaigns for money to make up for his own lack of fundraising ability or leadership is a worthless endeavor that no future campaign should ever be forced to entertain again.”

Brady’s criticisms extended beyond the lack of coordination with the local Democratic party. He also expressed regret over not selecting President Joe Biden as the nominee instead of Harris.
“Obama, Biden all came to say hi to the ward leaders, that means something. They [the Harris campaign] never showed up,” Brady told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In Brady’s opinion, Harris did not resonate with voters in Philadelphia, and he couldn’t understand why. “I don’t think that the Democrats that live in the city related to her,” he said. “And I don’t know why. I don’t know whether there was an elitist factor out there. I don’t know why she didn’t talk to them.”
Harris received fewer votes in Delaware County, where Philadelphia is located, compared to Biden. This fact did not go unnoticed by Brady, who pointed out that Biden captured 62.9% of the vote share in the county, while Harris only received 61.2% of the total count.
Brady’s criticisms of Harris were scathing and ranged from her lack of coordination with the local party to not resonating with voters in Philadelphia. In his opinion, the Harris campaign did not show enough respect for the Democratic Party in the city and did not put in the effort necessary to secure votes.
As a result, Harris lost the election and is now facing backlash from party leaders like Brady. This only further solidifies President Trump’s victory in the election and showcases the failures of the Democratic Party in Philadelphia.
It wasn’t just Harris that the voters rejected, it was the democrat party itself. The democrat party has devolved greatly from the party of John f. Kennedy. The party’s marxist objectives are unacdeptple as is their effort to shut down all opposition. Their grab for sole power and control has been thwarted for the present. But we must ever stay alert.
I know it’s not kind of me but I just love the Dims blaming each other and fighting among themselves. They need to accept their lose and try to put this country back together!
Mainstream America does NOT like the Dims policies and they spoke. Accept that reality!
WhenRepublicans do not win, they need to go back an dfind out what they neeed to do better to win. Democrats cryand blame themselves.
