Biden praised Harris during his brief address from the White House and promised an orderly transition of power in January.
But he was slammed by Dems following the address, with even CNN claiming he had tarnished his own legacy.
Shermichael Singleton, a CNN contributor who has worked on three different campaigns, warned that the Democrats needed to do a great deal of soul-searching.

“I think it’s why Donald Trump was able to increase his margins with Latinos. Specifically Latino men.”
