Karin Jean-Pierre reveals she never believed Harris could win the election

Former White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre writes in her new book that she doesn’t think the former vice president Kamala Harris will win the election.

“When I woke up, it was over. Harris had lost. I got calls from friends who were upset or numb with disbelief. But I wasn’t surprised by the outcome. The truth is, I never believed that Harris could win. I would be in a black woman’s body for the rest of my life. I stood at the podium in the White House’s Last Room. And with glazed eyes and racist assumptions. “All my experiences left me unable to see this country elect a president who looked like me,” she wrote in her book “Independent”.

Jean-Pierre’s new book details her decision to leave the Democratic Party, which she believes was betrayed by the former president. Joe Biden.

The former press secretary said her own experiences in the role left her pessimistic about Harris, writing that she faced abuse, sexism and double standards.

“Harris and many others had fought hard and had high hopes. I wanted to believe. I wanted to believe. But in the end, I was proven right. The United States was not there yet. Once again, and this time not because of the electoral artifice embedded in the Constitution, we elected Trump,” Jean-Pierre wrote.

Jean-Pierre called out the Democratic Party throughout her book, particularly expressing dismay at what she said Party Betrayal By former President Biden.

She blamed the party for Harris’ defeat.

“It was deeply disturbing how, after sidelining Biden in an embarrassing display, party elders couldn’t tell a smart, accomplished lawyer like Harris enough to defeat an ignorant former reality TV star. The party had to redefine its mission and publicly gave up a path forward or a path to success. Wind,” she wrote.

So was Biden Blamed sexism and racism For Harris’ loss.

“I wasn’t surprised, because I didn’t think she was the most qualified person to be vice president. She is. She is. She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. I was surprised, I was surprised because they went the sexist route, the whole way. I mean, this is a woman, she is, she is. I don’t think I’ve ever had a successful campaign. The notion that a woman can’t lead a country and a mixed race woman,” Biden said on “The View.” Above said.

Jean-Pierre also wrote that Harris “deserves to get the nomination without having to fight the governor and the congressmen.”

“Bypassing Harris would also have been disrespectful to black women as a whole, the foot soldiers of the Democratic Party who have worked or died for so long but are often bypassed or ignored when campaigns that require their votes and labor are in the rearview mirror,” the former press secretary wrote.
