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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
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.[/quote]

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.

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.[/quote]
