In new book, Kamala Harris says it was reckless to let Biden make reelection decision on his own

[AdamGG]

32. Kamala did a superb job of mounting a campaign on short notice, but...

I thought that one error was that she wouldn't put an inch of distance between her and Joe. It was kind of the opposite of Gore distancing himself from Clinton in 2000, when the Clinton presidency was popular.

There was an awkward exchange that was replayed a lot from The View when they asked Kamala if there was any policy/action of Biden's that she would have done differently and she said that there was nothing that she would change. If you are asked that question in a job interview and have no answer, you probably don't get the job.

IMO, she should have still praised Biden, but talked about a few minor things she would have tweaked. Maybe something like they didn't realize how strong the recvovery from COVID would be at bringing us back to near full employment and in retrospect, she would have paced out some of the work from the infrastructure bill to minimize inflation pressure on the economy. Then, you shift to talking about Trump and how he was unable to pass an infrastructure bill and supports vaccine deniers and that his policies would damage all the economic recovery that we've accomplished.

Kamala kind of needs to reflect back on what happened in 2024. It would be weird if she didn't now. Joe was a good President, but that debate performance was one of the costlier two hours in American political history. He may have been too close to it for an accurate assessment, but others should have intervened more strongly.

It would have been a different election if there had been the building energy of a full primary schedule and a field of qualified candidates all eviscerating Trump every day and a greater sense of legitimacy in the ultimate candidate - although like I said, Kamala did a great job in the situation she had.
