WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday evening that she regrets not expressing her concerns about then-President Joe Biden running for a second term when a majority of Americans felt he was too old for the job.

“I have and had a certain responsibility that I should have followed through on,” Harris told Rachel Maddow on MSNBC in her first live television interview since the election.

Such a conversation, even if it happened privately and behind the scenes, would have been an extraordinary breach in a relationship between a president and vice president.

Harris’ comments expand on a passage in her book, “107 Days,” that looks back on her experience replacing Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee after he dropped out of the race. Harris ultimately lost to Republican candidate Donald Trump.

I feel this is too recent for her to discuss publicly as "Biden is Senile" was a MAGA & GOP theme. Dont feed the trolls Kamala. Instead blame whomever she cam outside the party. Like how the big money donors skew the decision making and the biased uneven media coverage. And circle back to Their administration got so much done over just a few megabills.
