In her book, Harris offers readers more of a window into who she is while also challenging them to think about who they will be after her loss.

Overview

  • In an MSNBC interview, Kamala Harris labeled President Donald Trump a “tyrant” and criticized “feckless” corporate leaders for staying silent, arguing democracy sustains capitalism.
  • Harris said she had a “certain responsibility” and now regrets not pushing Joe Biden harder to reconsider a reelection bid, describing the “recklessness” as partly her own.
  • In her memoir, she writes Biden could not show comparable empathy for civilians in Gaza as for Ukrainians, calling his comments on Palestinians “inadequate and forced.”
  • Harris reveals Pete Buttigieg was her first choice for running mate but she passed over him as too risky for a 107‑day campaign, later telling Rachel Maddow she may have been too cautious.
  • She recounts that several top Democrats hesitated to endorse her immediately after Biden withdrew, quoting Barack Obama’s “you have to earn it” and noting Nancy Pelosi’s call for a process.
