Former Vice President Kamala Harris was reportedly blindsided by her 2024 election loss to President Donald Trump and "bought the hype" that she would win, according to a new book.
"She was completely shocked, and [Harris' running mate] Tim Walz was shocked," The Hill reporter Amie Parnes said on the podcast, "Somebody's Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri" released Thursday.
Parnes discussed reporting in her new book, "FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," which she co-authored with NBC reporter Jonathan Allen. The book tackles the 2024 presidential campaign and the chaos that unfolded after former President Biden withdrew from the race and Harris took his place at the top of the Democratic ticket.
