The loss of Kamala Harris in the vice-presidential race was a seismic event, but those closest to the campaign insist the reasons behind it are often misunderstood. Former Mayor Willie Brown bluntly criticized the team for misjudging the political landscape, suggesting their failure was rooted in ignoring critical lessons from Hillary Clinton’s defeat. The campaign allegedly lacked a clear strategy to address whether the electorate was truly ready to elect a woman president.
Brown expressed sympathy for Hillary Clinton’s long-lasting trauma from her loss yet remained hopeful about Harris’s resilience. He believes Harris has the strength to recover from this setback and continue making an impact in politics, hinting that this defeat might serve as a catalyst for future success rather than a final chapter.
