They’re already searching for someone to blame. In the wreckage of Kamala Harris’s loss to Donald Trump,
whispers have turned into open accusations against Joe Biden’s late exit.
Careers, legacies, and futures now hang in the balance. But behind the excuses lies a harsher reality about
America, gender, and power that her own team never truly faced befo
In the days after the defeat, a quiet civil war began inside Harris’s orbit. Some loyalists rushed to fault
Biden’s late withdrawal, insisting she never had time to define herself before Trump did it for her.
But veterans of the campaign pushed back, calling that fantasy.
The calendar wasn’t the real enemy, they argued; the country’s unease was.
Willie Brown, who has known Harris for decades, put words to what many only whispered.
The campaign, he said, misread the national mood,
refusing to absorb the brutal lessons of Hillary Clinton’s loss. They underestimated how deeply some voters still
doubted a woman in the Oval Office. Yet Brown also believes this is not the end of her story.
Clinton rebuilt a life after humiliation; Harris, he insists,
will do the same—scarred, wiser, and still dangerous to those who counted her out.
