Glenn Greenwald

She had every advantage and couldn't even make it to the first primary.

And then, of course, as soon as she becomes nominee, everybody just...

in the media comes together and says, oh no, this is one of the most exciting candidates ever.

Look, Charlie X or XC or whoever is like brat summer.

And this was gonna take her over the line of victory.

But everyone in the democratic party knew she was a terrible candidate.

The problem was they couldn't pass over her even though she was second in line because black women are an important part of their base.

And there'd be a lot of anger and a lot of resentment had they said,

gone to Galvin Newsome or some white man with whom they had a better chance of winning.

I would bet any amount of money she's running.

And first of all, when she decided not to run for governor in 2026, meaning like that office is beneath her, that was already an announcement that she's running in 2028.

She certainly doesn't intend to disappear from political life.

That's for sure.

But the...

Whole point of her book, starting with the title, as you just alluded to, was that the only reason I lost was not because I'm a terrible candidate, because I stood for nothing, because people don't really want to hear me speaking, because they don't trust me, because I have no charisma.

No, it was because I only had 107 days.

And so if that really is in your mind, the reason you lost, which of course in her mind it is, of course you're gonna then think, oh, but if I get to be the nominee, but this time with a normal amount of time, I'm gonna roll over everybody.

And I'm sure that's what she's convinced of.

And again, going back to that problem that Democrats have, if Kamala Harris wants to be the nominee,

There's going to be a lot of people on whom that party depends who believe that it is her entitlement.
