DULIUTH, Min. – In a sneak peak at Kalama Harris’ new book, it is revealed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was not Kamala Harris’ first choice for Vice President.
The Atlantic Magazine has obtained excerpts of Harris’ new book title “107 Days.”
Her top choice was Pete Buttigieg, the then Transportation Secretary.
The excerpt quotes the book saying, “[Buttigieg] would have been an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man.”
Harris writes, “But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk… And I think Pete also knew that—to our mutual sadness.”
