The author expresses relief that Harris did not win the presidency, criticizing her leadership and approval ratings while highlighting awkward moments from her tenure, such as her handling of border issues. The memoir and tour reveal candid and sometimes contradictory insights, especially regarding Joe Biden&#8217;s competence during his presidency and campaign. Harris claims Biden was &#8220;fully competent to serve&#8221; but distinguishes between running for president and being president, a point met with skepticism by interviewer Jon Stewart. The article also touches on the cultural context, mentioning a popular Netflix political thriller about presidential decisions under threat, contrasting it with harris&#8217;s perceived shortcomings. Ultimately, the piece conveys a mix of missing Harris&#8217;s presence but being glad she is not in a position of power.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It took Kamala Harris&rsquo; book tour for me to realize just how much I missed the woman.<\/p>\n<p>Not her leadership, don&rsquo;t get me wrong.

The two most prominent ones are that, first, every one of us had voted in 2020 with the foreknowledge that Harris was more than just your usual vice president who hangs around the joint waiting for her boss&rsquo; term limits to expire and taking on pet projects.<\/p>\n<p>She was there because her boss could very well expire, period, at any moment (indeed, we found out shortly after he left office that Biden had a form of prostate cancer that he almost certainly had during his presidency) and was running to be a sort of co-president with a guy who wasn&rsquo;t quite there. Second, while she was in this co-president role, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-approval-rating-bad-top-democrats-taking-emergency-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she polled on par with cholera and Yugos<\/a>, in part because she didn&rsquo;t seem any more with it, either.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, remember this clip from when Harris was in charge of getting at the &ldquo;root causes&rdquo; of the border crisis?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Remember this?<\/p>\n<p>Lester Holt: &ldquo;Do you have any plans to visit the border?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Kamala Harris: &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been to the border.
