Kamala Harris

So 28 is a far, I mean, it's practically tomorrow, but it's not.

And we'll have to see what happens over the course of these next few months, several months.

You know, it's difficult to run for president.

It takes a toll on your family.

It takes a real toll on your family.

You know, anyone running for president should really take very seriously the decision because it is not for the faint of heart.

You have to be able to take a punch and throw a punch, but you've got to be able to take a punch.

Yeah.

There's something that comes with success, whether you're running for president of the United States, build a successful business, have a public profile, which is among the difficult aspects of it, and there are so many positive aspects, but among the difficult aspects is putting yourself out there in a way that you invariably

will be in a position, hopefully not with a lot of people, but where you will be misunderstood.

That's an awful feeling.

Oh, it's an awful feeling to be misunderstood.

In this environment in particular, invariably you will put yourself in a position where some people will hate you.

It's awful.

They don't know you, but they'll hate you.

And

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.
