… Having been given profuse support from the American people before the election, Harris reportedly felt “gaslit” after losing to her Republican candidate.
According to the authors of Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, Harris was stunned by the election’s outcome.
While talking on the “Somebody’s Gotta Win” podcast, Allen and Parnes told host Tara Palmeri that the former vice president attempted to initiate a “recount” after Trump’s victory.
“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 recalled. “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?’”
Parnes added: "They thought that they were going to win. And so, you know, when they come back now and say, 'Oh no, we didn't really have a chance.' No, that's not what they were thinking — they thought they were going to win."
…
Stephanie Cutter, Harris’ senior campaign adviser, said on the same podcast that Harris "wasn't willing" to distance herself from Joe Biden. The former vice president reportedly thought breaking away from him would create a "different set of problems" for her campaign.
Cutter, who was interviewed for Allen and Parnes’ new book released in April, also commented on how damaging Harris’ The View appearance was to her campaign, as it likely made her slighted by voters.
Before the election, the former vice president told the show’s liberal hosts that nothing “comes to mind” when thinking about how she’d handle her presidency in comparison to Biden.

Almost half the voters were gaslit, too, Camela, so don’t feel so bad about it.
Captain Pike?
No one ever claimed her to be other than stupid.
It was obvious she wouldn’t win. I guess nobody wanted to go inside her bubble to tell her the truth. Maybe that’s how you get fired over there. Or maybe get an ashtray thrown at you. Or an empty bottle of Russian vodka.
She was likely “lit” alright.
Plus being a TOTAL disaster.
We dodged an IED.
So was the Hag when she lost. They were both sure they would be cheated into the WH by the machine.
i’d rather have him as president :)
she was isolated and surrounded by yes mam types who kept promising her she had 100 percent chance of winning
Kamala - Hillary 2028!
I dare you.
The CIA told her it was in the bag, just like they told Cankles, and then, just like Cankles... too big to rig.
Said the philosopher Harry Callahan, A man’s got to know his limitations.
“Can’t miss” they told her.
If she’s that clueless, by all means start a think tank. 😳😂
ROTFL! “profuse support from the American people”—don’t know who these people are but it’s sure that kamalaladingdong “legs up” harris like the murderess of benghazi clintoon in 2016 believed their own publicity. Hey women, welcome to the real world. You lost. Deal with it.
She probably figured they were going to rig the election for her like they did for Brandon.
One of my favorite quotes.
Her appearance on Fox had Harris duping the voters, swearing Biden was sharp as a tack even as her candidacy was made possible by Biden’s muttering nonsense at the debate. Harris fumbled through her conversation with Brett Baier before slinking away on complaints that he had been “too aggressive” in his questioning.
She never “got” the interview was a disaster. Though there were many head-scratchers and uncomfortable fumbles in the Baier interview, the critical moment came when Harris rope-a-doped herself with the claim that ——not Biden, mind you———but former Donald Trump was “unfit” and too “unstable” to be president.
This Harris misfire led to obvious follow-up questions regarding her own earlier efforts to dismiss concerns about Biden’s mental and physical fitness. “You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game,” Baier said, “that he ran circles around his staff. When did you first notice that President Biden’s mental faculties appeared diminished?”
Harris blanked.
Then, after a moment to recollect herself, she simply dodged the question.....word salading her way into a shatteringly nonsensical reply: “Joe Biden — I have watched from the Oval Office to the Situation Room, and he has the judgment and the experience to do exactly what he has done in making very important decisions on behalf of the American people.”
Baier pressed on, “There were no concerns raised?”
“Bret, Joe Biden is not on the ballot,” said Harris, “and Donald Trump is.”
Yes, but why isn’t Biden on the ballot? This is the question?
Harris was one of the very first reassure voters that all was well with the president. “The Joe Biden that I worked with every day is someone who, as I have said, has performed in a way that has been about bringing people into the Oval Office, Republicans and Democrats, to compromise in a way that is extraordinary these days,” she promised CNN viewers.
In February, she actually said of Biden, “We have a very bold and vibrant president in Joe Biden.” She also said that same month: “Our president is in good shape, in good health, and is ready to lead in our second term. she alleged, “Age is more than a chronological fact….Not only is [Biden] absolutely authoritative in rooms around the globe, but in the Oval Office.”
When special counsel Robert Hur described Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Harris rushed to defend Biden’s honor, all but accusing Hur of lying inviting a response regarding her own attempt to push an unfit presidential candidate on the nation.
She was such a mish mash of DEI. She was a big zero. Going to Howard doesn’t make you black and bein Willie Brown’s toy doesn’t make you politically savvy.
