It was just after 5 p.m. in Houston, and the president would be addressing the nation from the Oval Office later that evening.

I watched it at the hotel that night. It was a good speech, drawing on the history of the presidency to locate his own place within it. But as my staff later pointed out, it was almost nine minutes into the 11-minute address before he mentioned me.

“I want to thank our great vice president, Kamala Harris. She is experienced, she’s tough, she’s capable. She’s been an incredible partner to me and leader for our country.”

And that was it.

I am a loyal person.

During all those months of growing panic, should I have told Joe to consider not running? Perhaps. But the American people had chosen him before in the same matchup. Maybe he was right to believe that they would do so again.

He was, by some measures, the most consistently underestimated man in Washington. He’d been right about his tactics for pushing his agenda through a resistant Congress.

It was just possible he was right about this, too.

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.

“It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.” We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. 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.

I was well aware of my delicate status. Lore has it that every outgoing chief of staff always tells the incoming president’s chief of staff Rule No. 1: Watch the VP. Because I’d gone after him over busing in the 2019 primary debate, I came into the White House with what we lawyers call a “rebuttable presumption.” I had to prove my loyalty, time and time again.

When Fox News attacked me on everything from my laugh, to my tone of voice, to whom I’d dated in my 20s, or claimed I was a “DEI hire,” the White House rarely pushed back with my actual résumé: two terms elected D.A., top cop in the second-largest department of justice in the United States, senator representing one in eight Americans.

Lorraine Voles, my chief of staff, constantly had to advocate for my role at events: “She’s not going to stand there like a potted plant. Give her two minutes of remarks. Have her introduce the president.”

They had a huge comms team; they had Karine Jean-Pierre briefing in the pressroom every day. But getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible
.


Worse, I often learned that the president’s staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up around me. One narrative that took a stubborn hold was that I had a “chaotic” office and unusually high staff turnover during my first year.



I was the first vice president to have a dedicated press pool tracking my every public move. Before me, vice presidents had what’s called a “supplemental pool,” as the first lady does, covering important events. Because of this constant attention, things that had never been especially newsworthy about the vice president were suddenly reported and scrutinized.

And when the stories were unfair or inaccurate, the president’s inner circle seemed fine with it. Indeed, it seemed as if they decided I should be knocked down a little bit more.


“The VP should take on irregular migration.”


Instead, I shouldered the blame for the porous border, an issue that had proved intractable for Democratic and Republican administrations alike. Even the breathtaking cruelty of Trump’s family-separation policy hadn’t deterred the desperate. It was an issue that absolutely demanded bipartisan cooperation at an impossibly partisan, most uncooperative time.

No one around the president advocated, Give her something she can win with.

He did sabotage her. Its very difficult to win an election when you only have a little more than 3 months and the opponent has essentially been campaigning for 4 years.
I know, i mean wasn't he within his rights to sabotage her since she was doing the same to him i mean.

All she had to do was wait her turn, even if the concerns about him being too old were true she is next in line. instead she ran in his place. he was very clearly reluctant to step down. and she wouldn't vice president or a presential candidate without him. Why was she not supporting his reelection instead of her own? how many times has a vice president run against their own predecessor and pushed them out of office? I would have sabotaged her too..
If you someone you hired gets you fired and tries to take your job, you wouldn't feel some type of way? Biden should have been allowed to run for a second term. She should've spent the next 4 years campaigning

So it really was the Democrats fault for the Election debacle and not Bothsiders?
JT you already know it was never our fault. Shills like to scapegoat bothsiders.

I remember when dems on here would say our opinions didn't matter and it was just the internet. When republicans stomp they ass in the dirt now it's our fault they lost when you said before it didn't make a difference.

I remember bothsiders were questioning Joe's health and shills gaslighting and shaming people saying he was healthy until the very last minute when they could no longer lie in your face any more.

I remember when dems on here would say there's nothing specifically the democrats can do for black people fast forward to today and these mfers have framed themselves pro-black and if you didn't vote for hillary, joe or Kamala you a uncle tom. Imagine that.

These nikkas flagrant with it.

It was known that Jill hated her. Biden’s goofy team lied about his health for years. Every other smart dem like Newsome and Big Gretch didn’t want any part of replacing Joe on short notice. But Harris is a terrible, trash politician who ran a terrible campaign just like 2019. She ultimately has no one to blame but herself. She was the one hiding for months. She was the one who had no answer to separate herself from Biden. She was the one who let the rethugs lie and set the narrative that she was going to do ridiculous shyt like pay for inmates to become trannies :mjlol:
