Kamala Harris's Leadership Challenges
Kamala Harris's candidacy faced significant internal challenges that ultimately affected her presidential ambitions. Reports indicated that she lost a large portion of her staff due to her management style, characterized by an inability to take advice and difficulty executing strategies. These leadership issues were compounded by her selection of Tim Walz as a running mate, which was viewed as a misstep that alienated potential supporters, particularly in the Midwest. Despite the Democratic party's tendency to attribute her loss to external factors like sexism and racism, the core issues seemed rooted in her own unmanageable demeanor and decision-making failures.
