Kamala Harris

So to do anything that is about distinguishing yourself by virtue of the thing you can offer or a differentiation from yourself and others in a similar category, it exposes you to a lot.

And so you have to know why you're doing it.

And I believe that you have to do it for something that is bigger than yourself, not about your own power, not about your ego, not about your entitlement.

It has to be because to endure not just the process of getting into the job but the job itself, you got to be clear about why you're there.

I was in a state of shock.

I did.

When I got a call from my campaign manager that it looks like we need 200,000 more votes that we can't find, meaning it's just the map, the numbers.

And the thing I kept saying over and over again, I was in a state of shock.

I was so inarticulate.

but maybe very articulate.

What I kept saying over and over again is, my God, my God, my God.

Really?

Over and over.

I couldn't stop.

I haven't felt that emotion, anything similar to the emotion I felt that day and for quite some time, other than the grief I felt when my mother died.

I knew what was going to happen to our country.

I knew the harm that was going to happen to people.

And I knew it.

I knew what was going to happen.

It's not about winning versus losing.
