Kamala Harris

But otherwise, you know, it's a troubling time.

Everything from grateful and feeling very blessed.

to extremely troubled, disappointed, concerned of the state of our country and by extension the world.

Like a lot of people who are watching the news and reading the news, there's a state of anxiety, what will happen next?

I often have found myself saying to people, it may get worse before it gets better.

And so the knowledge of that, perhaps the anticipation of that, I think keeps me and many others on edge.

I think it's very possible.

Every day, because actually during the book tour, I've said it to audiences and in one city and then the next day something happens.

There's a lot that's very unpredictable about this administration, although there is almost all of it that I did predict.

Mm-hmm.

I do think about how different it could have been.

Mm-hmm.

Much less misinformation?

Yeah, I do.

And I know that the race that I ran for president of the United States, the outcome of that election is what has happened.

And it would have been different.

It would have been very different.

I try not to allow myself to think too much this way, I will tell you that, because I, for better and worse, really do like to be centered on the present.

My parents and the community that raised me.

My mother arrived from India in the United States at the age of 19 by herself.
