(FILES) US President Joe Biden listens during a briefing about Hurricane Milton in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building October 9, 2024 in Washington, DC. Joe Biden hoped Kamala Harris would salvage his legacy as the man who saved America from Donald Trump. Instead, it lies in tatters. Had Harris won, the rows over his age and refusal to bow out earlier would have been forgiven by the Democratic Party. Biden would have been able to celebrate a list of achievements in his one term that included guiding the country out of the Covid crisis, passing historic legislation, building infrastructure and promoting green energy.
