A new book, "FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," reveals that former Vice President Kamala Harris was shocked by her 2024 presidential election loss to Donald Trump. Co-author Amie Parnes describes Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as completely stunned on election night, with Walz speechless and Harris questioning the results and suggesting a recount. Parnes claims the campaign, including Harris herself, "bought the hype" of their apparent success, leading to a devastating defeat. The book details internal campaign divisions, with some staff feeling "gaslit" by overly optimistic senior officials. After the loss, Harris reportedly blamed Biden's decision to initially run for re-election and then withdraw, claiming she could have won with more time. However, this assessment is disputed by some of her friends and advisors, with one advisor stating that Harris lacked "substance," not time. The book also reveals that former President Barack Obama was hesitant to endorse Harris, doubting her ability to defeat Trump, actively working behind the scenes to explore alternative candidates.
