SHOCKING! Harris Reveals Buttigieg Was 1st Choice VP But “Too Risky”
Did you know that a presidential candidate almost chose a running mate based on societal readiness rather than pure qualification? In a shocking revelation from her upcoming book, "107 Days," Kamala Harris admits Pete Buttigieg was her top pick for VP in the 2024 election. However, she believed America wasn't prepared for two non-straight white men at the top of the ticket. She felt the combination of a Black woman and a gay man would have been too risky, despite her deep respect for Buttigieg's abilities. Furthermore, Harris details her eventual selection of Tim Walz as her running mate after Joe Biden dropped out of the race. This decision followed a disastrous debate performance by Biden, leaving Harris to lead the Democratic ticket. Sadly, the Harris-Walz ticket ultimately lost to Trump and Vance. This intimate glimpse into the strategic calculations of a presidential campaign reveals the complex considerations beyond policy and experience.
