3. Can you quote from the part about her not wanting Biden to run?

Or at least not wanting the decision to be left to him and the first lady.

I thought Harris wasn't being candid with herself at that point.

She didn't address the issue of the incumbency-- the overwhelming reason Democrats felt that Biden absolutely had to run again because it was too valuable an advantage to give up.

She didn't explain to my satisfaction why she thought it would have been so indelicate of her to advise Biden not to run if she knew he didn't have the stamina to campaign. She could have recommended an open primary and throw her hat in the ring along with Joe's hat and anyone else's hat after persuading him and those around him that it was the best course for the party and the country.
