Allies of President Biden are pushing back after excerpts from Kamala Harris’s upcoming memoir accused Democrats of being “reckless” in leaving the party’s nomination to Biden.
The former vice president has been working to rehabilitate her image following her defeat to President Donald Trump. Earlier this summer, she announced she would not run for California governor in 2026, saying her future, for now, lies “outside elected office.”
Still, Harris has used the memoir to cast blame for her political failures, portraying her loss as the result of party missteps rather than a flawed campaign.
“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,” Harris wrote in her book excerpt in The Atlantic. “It should have been more than a personal decision.”
