Harris went on to complain that Biden's staff didn't give her the support she felt was necessary as vice president, on issues from foreign policy to illegal immigration.
The former vice president also said Democrats across the board should have been more aggressive in pushing Biden not to run, saying it was "reckless" to leave the decision in his hands for so long.

"'It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.' We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision," Harris wrote.
