nypost.com - Kamala harris goes scorched earth on bidens decision to run for second term recklessness

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has blasted the “recklessness” of then-President Joe Biden’s controversial decision to run for a second term — writing in her forthcoming memoir that the choice should not have been “left to an individual’s ego.”

The ex-veep’s stunning dig at her former boss was laid bare in an excerpt of her book, “107 Days,” which was obtained by The Atlantic on Wednesday.

“Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness,” Harris writes of her decision not to convince Biden to drop out of the 2024 race earlier.

“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.”

Harris defended her decision not to chime in “during all those months of growing panic” about Biden’s cognitive health as a sign of her being a “loyal person.”

Woof. The rest of the book is evidently Kamala complaining that Her Awesomeness was never acknowledged by the White House.
