Former Vice President Kamala Harris has changed her story about Joe Biden’s ability to serve as president but is sticking with the claim that he was mentally fit. And she wants you to pay her for it. Hitting the road to promote her new memoir, Ms. Harris is selling tickets to a series of arena shows featuring conversations about her book. You can bet she is carefully choosing moderators with an eye to avoiding difficult questions about the constitutional duty of a vice president to ensure competent U.S. leadership. As for her new story, Joseph De Avila reports for the Journal on a book excerpt: Former Vice President Kamala Harris said in a new memoir that it was reckless to let former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden decide on their own whether he should run for re-election… “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris wrote. “Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness.” Only in
retrospect? Americans had been telling pollsters for years before 2024 that Mr. Biden had lost his fastball. Early in his presidency it was clear that he could not offer unscripted remarks in public without a high risk of catastrophic blunder. By February 2024, even the Biden Justice Department’s special counsel had deemed Mr. Biden too forgetful to prosecute. As Ms. Harris finally acknowledges that the Biden re-election campaign was reckless, she begins to accept the implications of this fact. Mr. De Avila
