  • Kamala Harris admits in her new memoir that Biden’s 2024 reelection bid was an act of recklessness.
  • She claims Biden’s inner circle sabotaged her while ignoring his obvious cognitive decline.
  • Harris stayed silent until after the election, despite privately acknowledging Biden’s unfitness.
  • The White House communications team failed to defend her from media attacks.
  • Her book appears to be a self-serving attempt to rewrite history and shift blame after Democrats’ historic loss.
The Democratic Party’s post-2024 election meltdown just got uglier. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, in her upcoming memoir 107 Days, now admits what millions of Americans already knew: allowing Joe Biden to seek reelection was an act of “recklessness.” Yet Harris, who served as his loyal second-in-command, stayed silent until after the election—when it was too late to matter. The book, set for release on September 23, reveals Harris’s frustration with Biden’s inner circle, which she claims actively undermined her while enabling his disastrous campaign. “Was it grace, or was it recklessness?” she writes. “In retrospect, I think it was recklessness.” The admission is stunning, not because it’s wrong, but because Harris herself played a key role in the deception.

A White House in denial

Harris describes a White House so blinded by loyalty—or fear—that no one dared challenge Biden’s fitness for office. “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision,’” she recalls everyone repeating “like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized.” Even as Biden’s cognitive decline became impossible to ignore, his team insisted on pushing forward, setting the stage for his humiliating debate performance in June 2024. Harris claims she was powerless to intervene. “Of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out,” she writes. “I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving.” Yet she admits that if she truly believed Biden was unfit, she had a duty to speak up. Instead, she remained complicit, defending him publicly while privately acknowledging the truth.

Sabotaged from within

Harris doesn’t just blame Biden; she accuses his staff of actively working against her. “I often learned that the president’s staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up around me,” she writes, citing claims about her office being “chaotic” and her failures as “border czar.” Despite her role as vice president, she says the White House communications team, led by Karine Jean-Pierre, rarely defended her from attacks. “They had a huge comms team; they had Karine Jean-Pierre briefing in the pressroom every day,” Harris writes. “But getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible.” When Fox News and conservative media outlets criticized her, the White House stayed silent. Harris’s belated criticism rings hollow. She had years to expose Biden’s decline or push back against his team’s sabotage. Instead, she waited until after the election—after Democrats suffered a historic defeat—to publish her grievances. Her book reads like a mix of self-pity and damage control, an attempt to rewrite history rather than take responsibility. She defends Biden’s mental capacity, claiming his struggles were merely fatigue, not cognitive decline. “On his worst day, he was more deeply knowledgeable, more capable of exercising judgment, and far more compassionate than Donald Trump on his best,” she writes. Yet she admits his age was a liability, one that his team refused to address honestly.

The real recklessness

The true scandal isn’t just that Biden ran; it’s that the entire Democratic establishment enabled his farce. Harris, his vice president, went along with it, even as polls showed voters overwhelmingly believed he was too old for the job. Now, in her book, she laments the “zero-sum” thinking of Biden’s team, who saw her success as a threat to his legacy. But Harris was part of the problem. She stood by as Biden’s administration pushed policies that fueled inflation, ignored the border crisis, and alienated voters. Only now, after losing in a landslide, does she admit the obvious: the 2024 campaign was a disaster from the start. The Democratic Party’s refusal to confront reality cost them the election. Harris’s book confirms what critics have long suspected: Biden’s inner circle prioritized power over truth and loyalty over competence. And Harris, despite her frustrations, played her assigned role... until it was too late. Now, as she promotes her memoir, she wants credit for speaking out. But her timing reveals the truth: this isn’t about principle. It’s about saving face. The real recklessness wasn’t just Biden’s campaign; it was the entire party’s willingness to pretend everything was fine, even as the ship sank. And Kamala Harris was right there with them, all the way down. Sources for this article include: TheNationalPulse.com TheGuardian.com FoxNews.com NYMag.com FoxNews.com
