""As far as I'm concerned, he's the Democratic nominee and he should be supported," Harris said. When MSNBC's Rachel Maddow asked Harris whether she endorsed his candidacy, Harris replied: "I support the Democrat in the race, sure. But let me just say this: He's not the only star." Harris went on to say that she knows he's in New York and "New Yorkers think they're the center of the world," but she pointed to fellow Democratic mayoral candidates Barbara Drummond in Mobile, Alabama, and Helena Moreno in New Orleans, whom she described as "stars.""
""We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That's what we're dealing with right now in Donald Trump. And these titans of industry are not speaking up." She added that at some point, they should "stand up for the sake of the people who rely on all of these institutions," adding: "To have integrity and to, at some point, be the guardrails against a tyrant who is using the federal government to execute his whim and fancy because of a fragile ego.""
"she expanded on a point she made in her new book, " 107 Days," which blamed "recklessness" for Biden's initial 2024 presidential bid. "I realized that I have and had a certain responsibility that I should have followed through on. And so when I talk about the recklessness, as much as anything I am talking about myself," she said, but noted she worried that to do so "would come off as completely self-serving.""
The Democratic nominee Mamdani receives support from a prominent Democrat, while other mayors such as Barbara Drummond and Helena Moreno are highlighted as stars. Donald Trump is compared to communist dictators and described as an immediate threat; corporate titans are urged to speak up and act as guardrails against authoritarian misuse of federal power. The book "107 Days" links Biden's initial 2024 bid to recklessness, with an admission of personal responsibility tempered by concern about appearing self-serving. Public pressure and consumer action are credited with influencing a media suspension decision.
