Kamala Harris reveals White House alarm over Biden's struggles
Hold onto your hats, folks -- Kamala Harris just dropped a bombshell about the inner turmoil at the White House over President Joe Biden’s declining condition.
In a stunning excerpt from her upcoming memoir, 107 Days, published by The Atlantic, Harris confesses to knowing about serious concerns over Biden’s fitness for reelection, yet she stood by silently as panic brewed for months before his eventual withdrawal from the race, as Breitbart reports.
This isn’t just a fleeting admission; it’s a window into a White House gripped by what Harris herself calls “months of growing panic” over Biden’s visible frailty, a concern that festered long before a pivotal debate just three weeks prior to his exit.
Concerns ignored despite high stakes
Harris doesn’t shy away from the gravity of her inaction, labeling it as “recklessness” given the enormous stakes of a presidential candidacy.
She muses, “Was it grace, or was it recklessness?” before concluding it was the latter, suggesting that such a monumental decision shouldn’t have been left to personal ambition or ego.
Well, that’s a fine sentiment, but standing on the sidelines while the ship takes on water hardly screams leadership—turns out, silence can be just as deafening as a shout.
Contradictions in account emerge
Yet, in a puzzling twist, Harris doubles down on defending Biden’s capability to lead, insisting he remained knowledgeable and compassionate even on his worst days.
She claims, “Joe Biden was a smart guy,” able to discharge presidential duties despite stumbles she attributes to mere fatigue from grueling travel, like back-to-back European trips and a West Coast fundraiser.
Sure, jet lag is a beast, but when the leader of the free world is visibly faltering, chalking it up to a packed schedule feels like a convenient dodge rather than a reassuring explanation.
Loyalty to country or to Biden?
Harris is quick to emphasize that her ultimate loyalty lies with the nation over any individual, stating she would have spoken out if she truly believed Biden was incapacitated.
She notes, “As loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country,” a line that sounds noble but raises eyebrows given her admitted hesitance to act sooner.
If loyalty to country comes first, one might wonder why it took “months of growing panic” to even broach the subject—talk about a delayed wake-up call.
Behind-the-scenes frustrations laid bare
Adding another layer to this saga, Harris reveals in her memoir -- penned over a reflective six months -- that she felt undermined by both Biden and the White House during her own campaign efforts.
Despite wielding a staggering $1.5 billion in campaign funds and enjoying robust support from corporate media, her bid ultimately flopped, leaving one to ponder if internal discord played a larger role than she lets on.
Perhaps it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but with that kind of war chest and backing, falling short suggests more than just a few missteps -- it hints at a deeper disconnect that no amount of spin can cover up.
