In a candid interview with the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris expressed deep introspection over her decision not to urge President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Harris, who stepped in as the Democratic nominee after Biden’s exit but ultimately lost to Donald Trump, revealed her lingering doubts in her new book, *107 Days*. She questioned whether her silence was an act of grace or recklessness, particularly given her concerns about Biden’s ability to endure the grueling demands of a presidential campaign. Harris emphasized that her reservations were not about Biden’s capacity to govern but rather his stamina for the campaign trail, especially against a formidable opponent like Trump. She also acknowledged the delicate position she was in, fearing that raising the issue might be perceived as self-serving. The broader debate about whether Biden’s inner circle should have challenged his decision to run has sparked significant discussion, with some alleging that his physical decline was concealed from the public. Biden’s aides have denied these claims, asserting that while he aged visibly, there was no evidence of mental incapacity. Harris, now promoting her book in the UK, hinted at a potential future presidential run, stating she is ‘not done’ with public service.
