Kamala Harris

And I knew what was going to happen to our country.

So I had a hard time reconciling that we can't still do something about it because I grew up in an environment where everyone was fighting for justice and for equality.

So I do think about how different it could have been.

But sometimes the fight takes a while.

I don't.

Well, I am well.

I mean, all things considered, I am well.

My family is good health, so I start there.

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.
