Kamala Harris has exclusively revealed that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was not her initial choice for running mate but a backup option. Her first target was someone more in line with the Democratic intelligentsia and a member of a ‘protected class.’
The Atlantic obtained an excerpt of Harris’s upcoming book “107 Days,” which said that Harris badly wanted to pick her close friend, Pete Buttigieg as her sidekick, but ultimately felt the risk was too significant.
The reason? She felt America was too bigoted to accept a married gay man as vice-president, especially since a Black woman who happened to be married to a Jewish male was leading the Democratic ticket.
“(Buttigieg) would have been an ideal partner—if he were a straight white man,” Harris wrote. “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man.”
“Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it,” she added. “But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.”
“And I think Pete also knew that — to our mutual sadness.”
Harris went on to bemoan her distraughtness at passing on Buttigieg while emphasizing her closeness to him and his husband.
“I love Pete,” she wrote. “I love working with Pete. He and his husband, Chasten, are friends.”
It’s extremely unlikely Buttigieg or any other VP choice would have saved Harris from a humiliating defeat to President Trump. Americans rightfully saw her as an incompetent phony who would serve as a second disastrous Biden term.
Harris admitted the truth as well when asked about what she would do differently than Biden during his four years in power:
“There’s not a thing that comes to mind,” she said.
“If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?”
KAMALA: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
