Some surrogates for Vice President

Kamala Harris blame her historic loss

to President-elect Donald Trump on

President Biden’s delayed

withdrawal from the race,

but former campaign staffers

call that view “detached from reality.”

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown

, who once dated Harris, said her team

“read the tea leaves wrong,”

failing to learn from Hillary Clinton’s loss

and questioning whether the countr

y is ready to elect a woman president.
