‘Recklessness’: Kamala Harris turns on Joe Biden in new book

In a surprising turn of events, former Vice President Kamala Harris has spoken out about her time in the Biden administration, claiming that Democrats made a mistake by allowing President Joe Biden to make the decision alone on running for reelection. In an excerpt from her upcoming book, “107 Days,” published in The Atlantic, Harris criticized the decision-making process and emphasized that the choice should not have been “left to an individual’s ego.”

Harris expressed her loyalty to President Biden, but also made it clear that her loyalty to the country comes first. She lamented the lack of support she received from the president’s staff, who she claimed fueled negative stories about her performance as vice president and failed to defend her against attacks from Republicans. Harris highlighted the challenges she faced, including being the first vice president to have a dedicated press pool tracking her every move, leading to increased scrutiny and unfair criticism.

Despite these challenges, Harris defended President Biden against claims that he was incapable of serving as president. She dismissed accusations of incompetence and sexism, stating that she believes Biden would have beaten Trump in the 2024 election if he had stayed in the race.

When questioned about claims that he should have dropped out of the race in support of Harris, Biden emphasized that they worked together on every decision and that Harris still had time to campaign. However, Harris now reflects on this differently, expressing frustration with the lack of support from Biden’s inner circle and their zero-sum mentality regarding her success.

Harris believed that her success as vice president was crucial for Biden’s image and reassurance to the country, but she felt that his team failed to recognize this. Despite the challenges she faced, Harris remains determined to speak out about her experiences and shed light on the dynamics within the Biden administration.

As Harris prepares to release her book, “107 Days,” her candid reflections offer a unique insight into the complexities of leadership and power dynamics at the highest levels of government. It remains to be seen how her revelations will impact the political landscape and the future of the Democratic Party.
