Kamala Harris says she ‘had a certain responsibility’ to argue against Biden running again
Kamala Harris reflected on her hesitation to oppose Biden’s 2024 reelection due to concerns about campaigning despite his job capability, calling her caution 'recklessness.'
- Kamala Harris said on Monday evening she regretted not pressing Joe Biden harder against running for a second term after he dropped out in 2024.
- Her regret followed Biden's frail performance in a debate against Donald Trump a week earlier and her belief that the decision should not have been left to personal ego.
- Harris reflected in her book '107 Days' and to Rachel Maddow that she felt a responsibility she should have followed through on but feared advising Biden not to run would seem self-serving.
- She acknowledged that when she refers to recklessness, she is largely including herself, and admitted that she may have erred on the side of being too cautious given the high political pressures.
- Harris also said that running for president in 2028 is not her current focus and emphasized the need to "fight fire with fire" in response to political challenges from Trump.
