Kamala Harris’ new memoir piles on Joe Biden for failed presidential campaign

  • Kamala Harris's new memoir, "107 Days," alleges that aides to Joe Biden sabotaged her presidential campaign and undermined her during her tenure as Vice President.
  • In the book, due out on 23 September, Harris describes Biden's decision to seek re-election as "recklessness" but admits she was poorly placed to voice her concerns then.
  • An anonymous former Biden official strongly criticised Harris, stating she was "not good at the job" and lacked a substantive role, attributing her political struggles to herself, not Biden or his team.
  • Harris claims Biden's inner circle believed her success would diminish his and were content with negative press about her, operating on a "zero-sum" mentality.
  • Despite the criticism, some former Biden aides, including Ron Klain, expressed sympathy for Harris, with one acknowledging that "Biden folks treated her and her team like s***."
