Plus it makes her look kind of weak, like she couldn’t say anything while VP (which may have been politically savvy) but says something now. That does not bode well if she plans to run in ‘28 and wants to present herself as a strong leader.

I’m beginning to think that this book means she’s not planning to run in ‘28. Happy to entertain other ideas, however.

No, she is just teasing that she is going hard after Biden to goose sales.
The reality is she is doubling down on she never saw anything wrong with Biden.

And Vance pretends to support Trump as if there is nothing wrong with him. If you sign up to be a VP of an elderly unfit POTUS like Trump and Biden, you have to do alot of pretending and ignoring.

The Atlantic article features the beginning portion of the book. I’m typically not one for politician books but I think there is meaningful stuff in here. Biden staying or leaving the race was entirely “Jill and Joe’s decision” and it was up to them. She specifically seems to go after Joe Biden’s comms team.

I do sympathize with Harris as I think she could have possibly had another 10 to 15 years of service in national politics if not for her career being tanked by her association with Biden. Then again, it was her decision to accept the offer of VP from someone who would be 78 years old at the start of a first term. She is now suffering the same fate as Pence and Vance with her political career being ended by an association with a very unpopular president.

According the Fight by by Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen, Harris was forced on Biden by Jim clyburn. Biden tried to find another candidate but couldn’t find one that satisfied Clyburn.

Harris was the only one who could cleanly and easily take over the $90 million that the Biden-Harris campaign already had in the bank, plus there wasn’t time for any kind of mini primary. That’s why she was the candidate.

Remember that that $90M Biden campaign fund never should have existed. (Also, it was nothing compared to the $900M she raised afterward. Dems were withholding donations because they knew Biden 2024 was a lost cause).
No one except the Bidens and their personal staff wanted Biden to run in 2024. Biden was the emergency "Obama" rip cord in 2020. Dems had 3 years to find a successor.

"I'm not sure the very robust defense of not having the courage to speak up in the moment is quite as persuasive as she thinks it is," the aide said. "If this is her attempt at political absolution: Lots of luck in your senior year."

The wealthy financial backers were scared to death of the thought of a Sanders and Warren becoming the 2020 nominee so they threatened to withhold hundreds of millions and next thing you know the "Biden is the "only" person that can beat Trump" baloney messaging agenda came to be. Why? Biden was the known commodity who play nice with the money where as Sanders and Warren were anti-capitalists. The rich folks got their way as usual. They and Biden are to blame for this second Trump term.

Biden is not the problem. His wife is very mean.

Pretty sure an 80 year old sitting POTUS with a 38% job approval rating is the biggest problem for an incumbent party in an election year.

Harris is not running, right?

I think her book was dumb, she came across poorly and I wouldn’t support her again

[Anonymous]

Is she actually going to run again?

I’m seeing her on talk shows taking her victory lap about being right about Trump. As if she’s saying something smart or thoughtful.

She seems shallow. I hope she doesn’t run

[Anonymous]

the "Biden is the "only" person that can beat Trump" baloney

…which was supported by all the polling at the time.

True. Same with Al Gore. But Kamala’s book tour isn’t doing anything to improve her standing with the public. It’s just reminding us why she lost so badly

Just like Pence and Vance, her political career is over due to her forever association with a very unpopular president.

This is very wishful thinking. Vance could easily win in 2028.

I think she was lucky to have been chosen by Biden and it elevated her status. By betraying him with lies, she lost credibility and integrity.

That is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!

well Nixon got beat in 1960 and came back to win in 1968, so I guess it’s possible.

Of course we’ve never had a liberal/progressive from California as President so if I were a betting person I’d say she doesn’t have a ghost’ s chance in h*ll
