That one passage has sent Democrats into another circular firing squad. Instead of focusing on 2028, they’re now fielding endless questions about who knew what—and when—regarding Biden’s decline.
Party Leaders Start Pointing Fingers
Several prominent Democrats are already on record backing away from Biden. Rep. Ro Khanna conceded earlier this year that he “made a mistake” by defending Biden’s health in 2024. Sen. Chris Murphy bluntly declared there was “no doubt” Biden was slipping mentally while in office. Even Pete Buttigieg piled on, saying Biden “should not have run.”
With Harris adding fuel to the fire, Democrats look less like a united front and more like a party at war with itself.
Biden Loyalists Hit Back Hard
Of course, Biden’s team isn’t letting Harris rewrite history unchallenged. Former aides blasted her in statements to Axios, saying she was never cut out for the job.
“Vice-president Harris was simply not good at the job,” one aide said. They accused her of staging shallow photo ops instead of contributing to actual policy. “She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration’s key work streams, and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops that exposed how out of depth she was.”
Another aide drove the knife even deeper: “Biden is not the reason she struggled in office or tanked her 2019 campaign, or lost the 2024 campaign, for that matter. The independent variable there is the vice-president, not Biden or his aides.”
Translation? Harris didn’t fail because of Biden—she failed because she’s Kamala Harris.
A 2028 Power Play
Let’s be clear: this book tour isn’t about Biden’s health or “truth-telling.” It’s about Harris trying to salvage her political future. After being humiliated by Trump in 2024, she’s now maneuvering for a second shot at the White House in 2028.
The problem? Nobody believes her sudden change of heart. She spent years defending Biden and shielding his obvious decline. Now, with Democrats still reeling, she wants voters to think she was secretly the responsible adult in the room all along.
Democrats Eating Their Own
The end result is ugly. Harris is trying to shift blame. Biden’s team is exposing her incompetence. And the Democratic Party is left tearing itself apart while Trump and Republicans watch from the sidelines.
The truth is that both sides are right about each other. Harris was a disaster as vice president. Biden was clearly unfit for office. And now, after losing power, Democrats are clawing at one another to avoid responsibility.
As Harris eyes 2028, she faces steep odds. She’s a weak speaker, a poor campaigner, and she carries zero accomplishments from her time in office. Put her on the same debate stage as Gavin Newsom, and it won’t be close.
The Bottom Line
Harris’s confession doesn’t come across as brave—it comes across as desperate. Democrats see through it. Biden’s team isn’t letting her off the hook. And Americans? They’re getting front-row seats to a political soap opera where Democrats eat their own.
For the rest of us, it’s simple: grab the popcorn.
