""I could barely breathe,""
""My God, my God, what will happen to our country?""
""I was ashamed to realize I was in the denial and bargaining stages of grief, a very long way from acceptance,""
""As soon as he walked onto the debate stage in Atlanta, I could see he wasn't right,""
Kamala Harris learned she had lost the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump and reacted with shock, breathlessness, and urgent concern about the country's future. An aide peeled "Madame President" toppers off cupcakes before serving them to demoralized staffers. The next morning Harris found herself in denial and bargaining rather than acceptance. A rapid 107-day campaign followed after Joe Biden dropped out, featuring candid admissions of mistakes and frustration. Harris describes Biden appearing tired at eighty-one, showing physical and verbal stumbles, notably during a debate in Atlanta. The account counts down to Election Day and states no immediate future plans.
