CNN anchor Kasie Hunt and former Obama adviser Rahm Emanuel unloaded on former Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
Harris appeared on “The View” to promote her memoir “107 Days.” During a segment on “The Arena with Kasie Hunt,” Hunt challenged Harris, adding that “10 months and one failed presidential campaign later,” the candidate was still fumbling for a coherent answer about her loyalty to former President Joe Biden. Emanuel said she squandered a crucial opportunity to define herself.
“Ten months and one failed presidential campaign later, Harris, now on book tour, offered this response when she was asked about that infamous moment,” Hunt said before airing the clip where Harris explained that she was loyal to Biden.

“That day and that interview for me really was symbolic of the issue, which is that I’m a loyal person, and I didn’t fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden. I thought it was obvious,” Harris said on “The View.”
Emanuel wasted no time piling on, saying Harris fumbled the defining test of her campaign.
“That was not a trick question. That wasn’t a pop quiz. That was the question, and not to have an answer. And even if you wanted to say, ‘Look, there are plenty of places we disagreed, but out of both loyalty and out of character. I’m not gonna do that and air that publicly. It’s not the right thing to do,” Emanuel said. “At least then that becomes a character thing, not the answer. But to say you didn’t appreciate that people were looking for a change. The irony is, if you look at and do an autopsy of the election, Biden-Harris is eight points down. She gets the baton, she runs all the way up to three points up. That’s an 11-point swing. From that interview and the debate forward, she goes back from change to continuity, and she loses the election by a point and a half.”
Harris wrote in her book that the Biden White House neglected her and failed to highlight her successes or defend her against “untrue attacks.” She added that she initially wanted Pete Buttigieg as her running mate but decided against him because he is gay.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said Monday that Harris has grown even less popular with Democrats since her 2024 defeat. He noted her net favorability has fallen from -5 to -13 points nationwide, while independents now view her negatively by 37 points, leaving her with little prospect of a political comeback.
