The 60-year-old revealed her frustrations about being marginalized within Biden’s administration.
As reported by The Guardian, Harris disclosed this in her new memoir.
The 2024 Democratic Party presidential candidate said she felt sidelined within the White House.
Harris claimed her chief of staff fought to prevent her from standing “like a potted plant” at events.
She lamented about Biden’s administration’s failure to defend her against Fox News attacks, branding her a “DEI hire”.
She described her time as the vice president as systematic marginalization within the administration.
“Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”
Harris said she was the worst person to talk Biden out of his re-election bid
“And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run. He would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as poisonous disloyalty, even if my only message was: don’t let the other guy win.”
Harris portrays the administration as being respectful to Biden’s decision-making.
“It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized.”
