Kamala Harris says she ‘had a certain responsibility’ to argue against Biden running again
September 22, 2025
Kamala Harris has expressed regret for not voicing concerns about President Joe Biden running for a second term when many Americans felt he was too old. Speaking to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday, Harris said she had a responsibility to speak up. Her comments expand on her book “107 Days,” where she reflects on replacing Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee. Harris ultimately lost to Donald Trump. In the book, she questions whether allowing Biden to make the decision himself was grace or recklessness. Harris admitted she worried her advice might seem self-serving, given her past competition with Biden.
