A high-ranking official from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has publicly rejected the notion of Kamala Harris running for the presidency once more, stating emphatically that "this is not what America wants.
".
This statement was made during a recent appearance on Fox News, marking a significant departure from the party's previous support for Harris.
According to Mediaite, the discussion was initiated by anchor Bill Hemmer, who noted that "some senior party officials [are] said to be open to Kamala Harris running again in four years." Hemmer quoted a DNC executive panel member expressing full support for Harris, stating, "Id be on board 100% with whatever she [Harris] decides to do. I think shes a phenomenal person. I think shes got a phenomenal candidate. Were able to turn things around so quickly, and thats a testament to her."
However, when Hemmer posed the question to Lindy Li, the DNC Mid-Atlantic Regional Chair, her response was decidedly less enthusiastic. "This is not what America wants. November 5th was a decisive defeat for the Democratic Party. She [Harris] lost every single swing state. It wasnt a squeaker like it was in 2016, this is a resounding defeat," Li responded. She further criticized Harris's potential aspirations for the governorship of California in 2026 or another presidential run in 2028, stating, "America has said this is not what-,we dont want to be coconut-pilled."
Li's critique of Harris did not stop there. She voiced her disapproval of the Democrats' border policies, stating, "We do not want Kamala Harris. We dont want failed border policies." Li expressed relief at being able to voice her concerns, stating, "I feel like Im liberated and I can finally tell the truth that the Democrats completely failed on the border."
Li also criticized the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the economy, stating, "you should be able to say that the economy was ailing under the Biden-Harris administration, that price hikes did indeed happen. But they denied that for the first three years of the administration. And when they finally did something, it was too late."
This candid critique from a DNC leader underscores the growing dissatisfaction within the party regarding its leadership and policy direction. It remains to be seen how these internal tensions will shape the Democratic Party's future strategies and candidate choices.
