Kamala Harris Slams Joe Biden
Harris wrote that in the months leading up to the beginning of campaign time, she considered recommending to the president that he not run for a second term. But, as his likely replacement, she felt a bit awkward, and didn't want Biden to think the suggestion was "self serving."
"'It's Joe and Jill's decision.' We all set that, like a mantra, as if we'd all be hypnotized," she wrote. "Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness."
She also added that she thought the stakes were too high to be leaving the choice up to a simple matter of "an individual's ego."
"It should have been more than a personal decision," she said. "As loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country."
Social Media Reactions
Across social media platforms, fans are supporting Kamala and her story. "I'm glad she's putting it out there," one person wrote on TikTok. "It needs to be plainly stated."
"She was set up for failure," another person said.
"Biden's team was bitter and cared more about his (and their) legacy than they cared about the country," a third person said. "They wanted her to lose so they could say Biden would have won."
"Wow, Kamala's honesty is refreshing," another user chimed in. "This excerpt really makes you think about the bigger picture and the impact of personal decisions on the nation."
