Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Harris Says She Shoulders Some Blame for Biden 'Recklessness'
Caption: Harris Says She Shoulders Some Blame for Biden ‘Recklessness’. Kamala Harris admits partial responsibility for the "recklessness" that led to Joe Biden’s decision to seek re-election. In a candid interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Harris discussed a passage from her new memoir, where she questioned the wisdom of pushing ahead with Biden’s candidacy. Harris shared: “I realize I had a responsibility that I should have followed through on,” acknowledging her role in the decision-making process. The former vice president also reflected on her decision to not pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate, saying she may have been “too cautious.” Harris emphasized that her hesitation wasn’t based on prejudice, but rather the high stakes and short timeline leading up to her decision. Although she praised Buttigieg as a “phenomenal public servant,” Harris admitted she feared the risks of running with him, given her identity as a Black woman. When asked about a potential 2028 presidential run, Harris deflected, stating it was “not [her] focus right now”. Throughout the interview, Harris strongly criticized former President Donald Trump, calling him a “tyrant,” and corporate leaders for their failure to act responsibly. Harris also celebrated Jimmy Kimmel’s return to air after his suspension, calling it a victory for “the power of the people” influencing decisions.
