Commentary: 'I think it was recklessness': Harris bashes Biden for late exit from 2024 campaign
"'It's Joe and Jill's decision,' Harris wrote. 'We all said that, like a mantra, as if we'd all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn't a choice that should have been left to an individual's ego, an individual's ambition,' she went on. 'It should have been more than a personal decision.'"
"When Kamala Harris left the White House, she was trailed by three big questions. She's now answered two of them. First off, the former vice president will not be running for California governor in 2026. After months of will-or-won't-she speculation, the Democrat took a pass on a race that was Harris' to lose because, plainly, her heart just wasn't into a return to Sacramento."
Kamala Harris declined a 2026 California gubernatorial bid, saying her heart was not in a return to Sacramento. The book '107 Days' recounts the shortest presidential campaign in modern U.S. history. The excerpts present measured insider reflection rather than an all-out tell-all while revealing pointed critique. Harris wrote that Joe Biden's decision to remain on the 2024 ticket after a disastrous debate 'was recklessness' and 'should have been more than a personal decision.' A potential 2028 presidential bid remains unresolved and would require addressing tensions with President Biden.
