Overview

• Harris writes that Democrats left the run-or-not decision to Joe and Jill Biden instead of making a broader party judgment.
• She describes the then-81-year-old president as tired and prone to physical and verbal slips, with the July 2024 debate collapse preceding his withdrawal.
• She alleges members of the White House inner circle failed to back her and accepted unfair or inaccurate coverage that undermined her.
• She says she absorbed blame for Biden’s border policy, a vulnerability Donald Trump exploited during the campaign.
• While faulting the choice to run, she defends Biden’s capabilities relative to Trump, and notes her book “107 Days” is due for release on Sept. 23.
