Harris Partially Blames Herself for ‘Recklessness’ of Biden Candidacy

Former Vice President 👤Kamala Harris admits she is not without blame for former President Joe Biden seeking re-election.

In fact, she shares the blame with fellow Democrats in what she termed “recklessness” for his candidacy to proceed, per Politico.

Harris spoke about what happened Monday with MSNBC’s 📺Rachel Maddow before the release of her memoir, “📖107 Days,” about her run for the presidency in 2024.

“When I write this, it’s because I realize that I have and had a certain responsibility that I should have followed through on,” Harris said. “And so when I talk about the recklessness, as much as anything, I’m talking about myself.”

Harris also talked about her decision not to choose 👤Pete Buttigieg — her favored candidate — to be her running mate. She has cited the optics of a Black woman and gay man on the ticket would be off-putting.

“It wasn’t about any prejudice on my part. But we had such a short period of time and the stakes were so high,” Harris said. “I think Pete is a phenomenal, phenomenal public servant. And I think America is and would be ready for that. But when I had to make that decision with two weeks to go … Maybe I was being too cautious … Maybe I was. But that’s the decision I made.”
