A former Biden Administration aide says Kamala Harris has no shot at the White House, telling Fox New’ Gillian Turner the former vice president “needs to stop listening and start leading.”
Harris ran for the White House in 2020 in a crowded Democratic field before Joe Biden picked her as his running mate. She ran again in a sprint campaign in 2024, after Biden suddenly dropped out in his bid for a second term, before losing to President Donald Trump in 2024.
Appearing Tuesday on Fox’s America Reports, Michael LaRosa — former First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary — told Turner voters are tired of Harris after Turner read from a recent New York Magazine article which deemed Harris a frontrunner in the 2028 race:
MICHAEL LAROSA: She has been a public servant for 37 years. I don’t know why she is still listening. She needs to stop listening and start leading.
Nobody wants to — people want to hear what she has to say, and the problem is people want that new car smell, as Barack Obama once said. They are not going to give Kamala Harris a third at bat.
There is no appetite for another Kamala Harris candidacy and I hope her consultants — consultants are only as good, and they’re only as useful to you if they tell you the truth. They need to tell her the truth. That is that it’s not going to happen, for you the money won’t be there. She still hasn’t learned a lot from her poor instincts in the last campaign.
GILLIAN TURNER: Real quick. When you survey the folks around you in your party if you got tap the next gen candidate’s name a couple of people you would pick.
LAROSA: There’s a lot of them. It’s hard to think of a — look, I want somebody who can run the country I want somebody who is competent. I love Rahm Emanuel, Gavin Newsom. I like Pete Buttigieg.
There’s a lot of people who are qualified and will be not only good candidates but good stewards of the office. I think one of the problems is that Harris, like I said, she doesn’t lead, she follows.
There is a quote in that piece that you brought up that said she’s going to ride the wave once she sees how this goes through that sums up Kamala Harris to a T.
She doesn’t lead. She follows. She doesn’t take risks. She calculates. She doesn’t answer questions, she equivocates. She’s got to get over that if she wants to make a connection with people but I don’t think she’s going to get a third at bat.
