Kamala Harris Bizarrely Boasts She May Have Been ‘Most Qualified’ Presidential Candidate ‘Ever’
Former Vice President Kamala Harris submitted that many people have said she is the “most qualified” presidential candidate in the history of the United States during a recent interview with reporter and Pivot podcast co-host Kara Swisher on Oct. 9.
During her conversation with Swisher, Harris submitted that part of the reason she lost the 2024 election to President Donald Trump was because people needed more time to get familiar with her background.
She pointed out she was the first woman to serve as attorney general of California, as well as the first female vice president of the United States, among other accomplishments.
“That is a decent resume, but go ahead,” Swisher jumped in to add.
“Well, some people have said I was the most qualified candidate ever to run for president,” Harris responded.
That comment drew another ovation from the crowd at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., where the interview was held, as Harris and Swisher smiled back at each other.
“I like the ‘some people say,’ very nice,” Swisher said.
“I’m just speaking fact,” Harris added.
The interview comes as Harris is going from sea to shining sea promoting her book, 107 Days, which covers her doomed bid to win the presidency.
Other notable moments from her book tour include Harris blasting the Trump administration last week in Los Angeles, saying “These mothaf*ckas are crazy!”
Her event with Swisher was also interrupted by a protestor who shouted Harris was a “war criminal.”
Harris pointed to a few challenges she believed hurt her campaign, including the “rampant amount of mis- and disinformation that is so difficult to get in front of.” And when Swisher asked Harris what the “difficult” part of her campaign was, Harris said being a woman and being a minority hurt her chances.
“Well, I’ve always been a woman, and a woman of color, so that’s kind of [a hurdle]” Harris said.
