Harris explained in the book that she did not want to criticize the president or litigate matters on which they did not agree, according to the AP, but she did not grasp the extent to which her connection with Biden was holding back her presidential bid.
President Donald Trump decisively defeated Harris in the 2024 election, winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote.

"I could barely breathe," Harris wrote regarding her experience of learning that she had lost the White House contest to her Republican rival, the outlet reported. She kept asking, "My God, my God, what will happen to our country?"
