The new book Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes was released on April 1. The book shares behind-the- scenes reporting of the 2024 campaign of former President Joe Biden, his decision to drop out of the race and the subsequent Harris campaign, which ultimately failed.(snip)
"She was completely shocked, and Tim Walz was shocked. We take you inside his hotel room at the Mayflower, and he's sitting there stunned. He has no words," Parnes said on the podcast. "And people are kind of explaining to him, same thing with her. And she's like, are you sure? Have we done a recount? Should we do a recount?"(snip)
"Kamala Harris was looking at her crowd size and she was looking, you know, they felt like the vibe was strong and, you know, people were saying, oh, we have more boots on the ground," she said. "We're doing better in fundraising. And she bought all of that. She bought the hype."

“ I had my doubts Trump was going to win.”
Not me. Not for a second.
L
not enough fraud.......much like Trump, we dodged a major bullet
The campaign sought millions of dollars in donations knowing that Joe Biden was senile and incapacitate, but they took the money anyway.
Then they acted like Romania and nullified the primary, effectively seizing the donations for other uses.
Finally, the ran Harris/Walz while asking for millions more in donations, only to run an incompetent campaign based on lies about deeply held past positions, lies about military service, lies about celebrity appearances, lies about the polls, and lies about the candidates' qualifications.
The whole thing was a conspiracy to defraud.

If this is actually true,she is far dumber than I thought she was.
and damn she’s ugly...
I was certain that whoever seemed to win on Election Day, the outcome would be contested. Much fraud would be uncovered in the ensuing weeks, and no winner declared for certain until maybe December or January.
Not that we needed it, but this is just more proof of how stupid Heels Up is.
Bill Gates and Mike Bloomberg each donated $50 million to Harris in the final weeks of her campaign.
That $100 million was certainly well spent.
This is all BS.
I read a lot of different political stuff, from the right and the left, who agree on absolutely nothing. Except - they agreed that this cycle, the Democrats were completely and utterly screwed, and was completely self-inflicted. They were stuck with Biden, and then they were stuck with Harris. Those on the left who knew what’s what, were reduced to explaining Campaign 101 to the ignorant wondering why they can’t just parachute in somebody. Doesn’t work that way. The old hands on the right were laughing their ass off.
Swapping out the candidate 2 months prior? Fuggedabout it. No chance whatsoever. None. History is clear and every pollster and political veteran knew this. They knew this. The only reason to keep the charade going, or one reason, was to keep the networks happy. Nobody will bother to tune in if they tell the truth “She’s gonna get beat like a rented government mule, it ain’t gonna be close.” That’ll never do.
I wondered if the Dems were going to try to do the steal again, but they didn’t... Or, at least they tried and failed.
She was surprised? So she is just as stupid and disconnected as we were thinking? Wow...
“That $100 million was certainly well spent.”
Lol. Schadenfreude.
No more French Wine for YOU!
What did she think all the lawfare and attempted assassinations were for? Just happy coincidence?
Gutless wonder couldn’t even go to her supporters for a couple days and speak to them, and has gone into hiding since.
I thought Trump would win, but I was concerned about the possibility of fraud and cheating that could throw the election to Harris.
Nope. Trump knocked her off it.
McCain.
That is not surprising at all to learn. She thought that the Democrat Party could/would do the same thing for her as they did for Joe Biden. To Wit} Cheat, cheat, cheat, and cheat some more. The Republican p[arty will let you get away with it. In her case, it did not work out.
