Kamala Harris Criticizes Biden, Calls His Reelection Decision “Reckless” in New Book. In her upcoming book 107 Days, Harris says it was “recklessness” for Democrats to allow President Joe Biden to decide alone on running for reelection, calling it a choice that should not be “left to an individual’s ego.” She emphasizes loyalty to the country over loyalty to Biden, reflecting frustration with her treatment as vice president. Harris claims Biden’s staff allowed negative narratives about her to circulate, including criticism over a “chaotic” office and high staff turnover, and did little to defend her. She notes she was the first vice president with a dedicated press pool, which she says led to intense scrutiny of her every move. Harris contends that the administration’s inner circle operated with a “zero-sum” mindset: if she did well, Biden’s image was diminished. She says her visible success should have been seen as a reassurance of Biden’s judgment. While defending Biden personally, Harris expresses disappointment that her accomplishments were not adequately recognized or leveraged to strengthen his presidency. The excerpt highlights tension between public unity and private dynamics within the administration, particularly regarding media narratives and political strategy.
