Not only is it obvious she didn’t write this herself - it’s doubtful she even approved or saw it
This matter-of-fact non-fiction cool history teacher style drives me crazy. Acting chill about this doesn’t make it chill.
The amount of people insisting that Biden actually was competent is wild to me.
She's a historically weak candidate. Both in personal appeal and in actual capabilities. She's Dan Quayle. She should be nowhere near consideration for the nomination.
What’s frustrating is that the “Biden is too old to serve another term” argument was always based in the reality that he was 81 and got tired! If a president can’t deliver in challenging periods, they are not fit to serve.
At 81, Joe was "tired", but she still supported his reelection for 4 more years. Today Joe is barely alive. She knew he wasn't capable but stayed silent out of her own self-serving interest.

I think it’s a little boring and entirely candid/believable. No conspiracy, no “Dave”-style cover-up. What you call hedging reads to me like wrestling with a complicated situation.
Also a blatant lie. Biden was on the east coast, either the WH, Delaware or Canp David for 10 days pre debate.
Hindsight is always 20/20. How much power do VPs really have? Ha. It was a particularly thorny situation all around. Wasn't a fan of Biden as the 2020 nominee with so much younger D talent. But if Trump had won in 2020, would we still be alive?
This dude lol…
Go play some cards, or analyze some data. You know, stuff you’re actually good at.
She's still making excuses for him. She refused to acknowledge his decline when it mattered, and passed on the chance to distinguish herself in any degree from his policies when given the chance.
Like JD Vance's defense of Trump on the Epstein matter, this will be disqualifying
"If I believed it, I would have said so." Does anyone *believe* her on this?
Hedging is core to her, and it is good to see she hasn't walked away from that. I hope she takes a little bit more risk in general on areas like immigration, trans or crime (before they cease being issues). Her unwillingness to take a stand against DEI is understandable.
I think the style is what really bristles honest correspondents, doesn't it? It's obviously euphemistic and evasive and insulting to the intelligence of non-partisans.
A bit of honesty would cut through with independents much better than this base-orientated boilerplate.
"I don't think it's any surprise that the debate debacle happened after some Europe travel"
then why did you allow it?!?!
If it's so predictable, why didn't ANYONE prevent it?
Are you just assuming it's "not particularly candid" because it doesn't reinforce the narrative of a demented president hidden by a craven cover-up? What if the actual truth is the boring, universal fact that older people -- even fully competent, functional ones -- get tired?
Extremely boring and, as usual, no ounce of genuine human emotion or authenticity
It’s also straight up lying, as Joe had a week off to prepare for the debate
She’s obviously hedging her political future here. If she prints “he was showing signs of dementia” then the obvious question is why was she complicit in the lie they gave to America that he was fine? Also most normal people also know in fact she was lying.
This is also dishonest. Prior to the debate, he spent 2 weeks at Camp David prepping.
He was unfit and she knew it.
Just because it doesn’t satisfy you doesn’t mean it’s not candid
Harris: States unequivocally that Biden wasn't a spring chicken but wasn't the doddering old fool people thought.
Silver: She didn't confirm my views, so she must be hedging.
It can't possibly be more boring than your Twitter feed

Thank you for your non sequitor take on the precipice of the race war, sir
No ones gonna buy that book. She’s complicit in the coverup and not even democrats want to relive those 107 days… 
Clearly a ghost writer. Never has she spoken as cogent a paragraph. She still has ambitions, so not surprising it is a big nothing burger.
They just can't stop lying.
Even when we all know the truth. A simple moment of candor would go a long way.
Maybe this explains the unelectability?
Kind of what i would expect given her past history. She was put into a candidacy she wasn’t really ready for. CA democrats essentially operate in a one party state so don’t know how to win nationally. You can already see it with Newsom
You just don’t want Americans to find out what incompetent dolts both Biden and Kamala were/are.
Have you considered that maybe the truth is boring and the idea that Joe Biden was a walking corpse was always an absurdity ?
Using the "tired from travel" excuse is insulting to the intelligence of the reader and completely disqualifying for a 2028 run. Biden spent seven days in Camp David ahead of the debate. Time to clean house of everyone involved in last year's debacle and get new Dem leadership.
As someone who voted for her and plans on reading the book I think it’s obvious that Kamala will never really be an open book. Much of what she says it will be carefully scripted and trying to not ruffle any feathers particularly in the Dem base. That’s why she praises Biden
Harris insisted that at 81 Biden was fit to serve four more years.
He would have been 86 when his second term fizzled out.
She put her hope of succeeding an incapacitated old man above our country.
In so doing she sold out all the values she claims to hold dear.

Kind of like your pre-election hedging by saying the odds for each candidate were 50/50. Not like you do this for a living…
I dunno, I found it more than slightly amusing that she spent several paragraphs telling us what an incredible job she did fixing immigration root causes. Who knew how successful she was? Imagine how many 10s of millions more would have invaded without her. Thank you Kamala
What a laughable attempt to distance herself from covering up Biden's mental decline.
