Holy. Moly.
The Washington Post editorial board did not hold back in its opinion piece about former Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign memoir and book tour.
The introduction: “No one, perhaps not even Kamala Harris, knows for certain whether Kamala Harris really wants to be president. The promotional tour for her new book hasn’t cleared up that mystery, but it has reminded the country why most Americans did not want her in the White House.”
Harris detailed her brief presidential campaign in her book, 107 Days. I believe it came out today.
The book shows nothing but a bitter woman who pointed fingers at everyone for her loss except at herself:
Is Harris a brilliant political mind who simply freezes up in front of cameras? Alas, taking the time to organize her thoughts in writing doesn’t help much. Indeed, virtually every page of her book, “107 Days,” offers a glaring reminder of why she failed to close the deal.Much of the book is score-settling that ought to be beneath an aspiring president — the sort of small-mindedness that Democrats rightly knock President Donald Trump for. She is annoyed at Joe and Jill Biden over the former president’s decision to run again, but she did not press him to withdraw, even privately, because it was “as if we’d all been hypnotized.” The critique also extends to staffers and potential running mates. Even her husband gets chastised for failing to arrange a suitable birthday celebration while he was out on the road trying to get her elected.A once and perhaps future presidential candidate should have a better grasp on what presidential leadership sounds like, even in a self-serving memoir. Instead, Harris creates the image of herself as an A student who tells interviewers her greatest weakness is that she’s just too much of a perfectionist.
I find it hard to believe the editorial board only just now discovered that Harris cannot perform in interviews. She’s known for her word salads.
The editorial board appeared dumbfounded that Harris “seemed uncomfortable and inauthentic” during an interview on friendly turf.
Harris made a fool out of herself on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow’s show when she called President Donald Trump a communist dictator.
But Harris also did not endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor. Instead, all she said was, “I support the Democrat in the race.”
Uh, okay? Does this lady even want to stay in politics? Harris’s supporters touted her as the next leader of the Democratic Party.
It’s no wonder Harris avoids shows and stations where she would face challenging questions.
On The View, Harris admitted she “didn’t fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden.”
Harris declined to run for California governor, making people believe she’ll try for the presidency in 2028.
First of all, Harris made no progress during her short 2020 presidential campaign. I think the campaign only lasted a few months.
Second, I can imagine the Democratic hopefuls would throw the memoir back at Harris.
Could you imagine Harris on the stage with former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg?
Harris admitted in her book that she didn’t pick Buttigieg for her running mate because it would be “too big of a risk” for a black woman with a Jewish husband to pick a gay man.
Why not? America wasn’t ready for it.
Again, Harris’s loss is everyone’s fault except her.
Well, WaPo doesn’t want Harris to run in 2028:
The best that can be said about Harris’s step back into the spotlight is that it’s happening now. Democrats have a real shot at victory in 2028, but they won’t have time to waste on someone like the former vice president.
