Actor Jeff Daniels lamented former Vice President Kamala Harris losing the 2024 presidential election in a new interview, saying she would have governed like President Abraham Lincoln.
"I still think about Kamala, and how I think she would have been a good choice," Daniels told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace in an episode published Monday of her podcast, "The Best People." "I don't care what they say, because she would have done what Lincoln did."
"Liz Cheney would have been secretary of state," Daniels said.
"Team of Rivals," Wallace interjected, referencing the book by Doris Kearns Goodwin, "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," which looks at how Lincoln included former political opponents in his cabinet.
"Team of Rivals," Daniels agreed. "That's what Lincoln did, surrounded himself with the people who would disagree with him, not the people who would, you know, take a knee and go, ‘Yeah, more tariffs, sir, more.’"
Harris' campaign heavily used Liz Cheney, one of President Donald Trump's fiercest Republican critics, on the campaign trail in 2024. Once a conservative star in the House, Cheney was one of only two Republicans who served on the special committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which resulted in her losing her seat in Wyoming. Harris also pledged to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected.
Daniels, known for his prominent movie, television and stage roles, said the Republican Party was deteriorating under Trump.

How is it possible for someone to be that stupid?

Where’s the civil war she’s she supposed to run?
That would have been the third movie:
Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest
She would have picked bad generals and made a war with the right that should have been over in mouths last 4 years?
Yes, she would have governed like Lincoln.
Got a lot of brave Americans killed, and destroyed 1/3 of the country.
Imagine Jackson as President in 1861.
Didn’t Lincoln suspend Habeas Corpus? Didn’t he want to deport the newly freed slaves? Why yes!
So he thinks she would have had a cabinet of rivals because ... Liz Cheney?
Okee
Lincoln was a softy. Jacksom would have crushed the rebellion in a few mounths, and then traitors would have been hanged throuout the South. IF the South had decided to try it with him.

#2: The comparison of Knees Harris to Lincoln would have to mean “after” Lincoln was dead and buried...
