Washington (AP). Former Vice President Kamala Harris says the Democrats were “reckless” to leave President Joe Biden to decide whether to continue searching for another term last year, but she defends his ability to do the job based on the passage of her new book.
Harris writes in a “107 Days” excerpt in the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday that when the questions caused whether the then 81-year-old Biden should look for re-election, she and others have left the first lady Jill Biden.
“Was it a grace or was it reckless? Retrospectively, I think it was reckless,” Harris said.
Comments are the first time Harris has publicly critically evaluated the biden’s decision to re-conduct a decision that fell in 2024 after a disastrous discussion performance. In July
“It was just too big,” Harris writes in the book. “It was not a choice that was to be left to the person’s ego, a person’s ambition. It had to be more than a personal decision.”
The Biden Office did not comment immediately on Wednesday.
Throughout and after the campaign, Harris avoided much of the criticism of the president he served nearby and defended him questions about his mental sharpness.
In the passage of the book, Harris continues to defend Biden’s ability to do the job, but describes it in 2024, especially during his “discussion discussion” as “tired”.
“On the worst day, he was a deeper knowledgeable, more capable of using the decision and much compassion than Donald Trump. But at the age of 81, Joe was tired. That’s when his age showed physical and verbal stumbling,” Harris writes. “I don’t think there is a surprise that the discussion discussion took place right after two trips to Europe and the flight to the west coast of Hollywood funds to the voter. I don’t think it was incapacitated.”
She adds that if she thought the biden was incapacitated, she would have told the country of loyalty.
Harris also accuses those close to the biden of being forbidden to the media all the time, serving as vice president and quitting it under the bus to increase the position of biden society.
She writes that she received a high level of inspection as the first vice president for women, but says, “When stories were unfair or inaccurate, the president’s inner circle looked good. In fact, they seemed to have decided that I should be shot a little more.”
Harris writes that he often learned that biden staff “added fuel to negative stories” that surrounded it, for example, stories about her vice president’s office, which is a strife and has a high circulation.
The former vice president also accuses Biden’s staff of calling on Gaza immediately, and more humanitarian aid in Selma, Alabama, Selma, Alabama, Alabama.
“It became viral and the wing of the West was dissatisfied,” says Harris.
It suggests that it also reduced by reducing the biden, especially “in view of his age”.
Harris’ success, she writes, would be a good biden decision marker and a reassurance for the public that if something happened to the president, she could get involved.
“My success was important to him,” she writes. “His team didn’t get it.”
Harris’ book, whose title is prone to the length of her shortened presidential campaign, plans to release Simon & Schusster on September 23.
