“The gap she lost was not so big, but in addition to the small pockets, some people, some people, some for the economy, were women. I think many of these small nicks have lost some of these states.
Did the timeline of Harris’s shortening campaign hurt her chance?
Harrison: “If she had more runway, it would probably be easier for her campaign with her. We were building a race for Joe Biden.”
“Joe Biden Given the state of the unionPeople said that it was one of the best union we have ever seen. Then we went on discussions and people were a terrible discussion. And my thoughts were as follows: “Joe Biden has secured a nomination. I’m a faithful man because the primary is completed. We are riding with Biden.”
“And if you look at the other side, from the Republican members’ perspective, Donald Trump I was just convictedHow many times for all of these felony? And you didn’t hear any peeping from a Republican member. And sometimes, the Democratic members can learn something. Put a defense line around our people and protect it. “
Should the Democratic members stick to Biden?
Harrison: “That’s my normal default. You’ll stick to your people, especially those who worked hard on your behalf.”
“I have come to this idea, OK, you probably have a lot of money to ensure not only Joe Biden and Camala Harris, but also not only the Democrats. The battlefield is the most successful of my life -threatening legislative president, but all the resources and their own time can be financed to strengthen the state. state.”
“And when he hits a disability, when he hits the road, do we stick to him or do we abandon him? That is the mentality I went to. And my nature is, “I am in the team, you are my quarter back. But what do you know? I’m going to block hell from the next person. ” And sometimes people are ready to look at the bystanders and call for backups. ”
Was the party prepared to switch the possible candidates?
Harrison: “I basically had a very small group I said, please give out what will happen to me … if I have to do something, people I was looking for a big prize election and it, and we had a short time frame again, and basically it was back to the rules. “

Did Harris act quickly to start acquiring support?
Harrison: “She was literally on it. I wanted to understand if there were many people trying to throw a hat on the ring.”
“So, I started calling. I’m convinced that I’ve heard the news about the president,” said they, “I got off the Vice President, and I I am a pledge for my support. ” It must be. “
What changes do DNC need to make?
Harrison: “DNC is not just a rubber stamp for what the campaign wants.”
“You don’t always have a seat on the table. All arrows and responsibility. People want to give you all responsibilities, but you have the power to make them. I don’t think I need a better, bigger balance.
“I didn’t always have a seat on the table, but I wasn’t always invited to the room, and I think it’s essentially a problem for your perspective. Masu.”
Does the Democratic Party need to work hard with non -white voters?
Trump has won more blacks and Latin voters’ shares than 2020, which lost their group in 2020. According to AP votingNationwide surveys for more than 120,000 voters.
Harrison: “Well, I think it’s about the turnout in the black community, right? It’s about the turnout with this group. No, not. It’s more than just a turnout rate. It’s about persuasion. But you have to persuade them to be the best people. You have to show them what they are, that means having them individual conversations, but they have a particularly targeted conversation.
“I don’t think it’s a matter of course. You can’t assume that you are going to vote for the Democratic Party just because you are black.”
How did DNC change under your leadership?
Harrison, who I lost his 2020 Senate campaign He told South Carolina to Senator Lindsey Graham that he had broken the donation record during his run, but he had no immediate political plan. He did not close the door of another campaign. He has long been mentioned as a candidate for the future for decades by Jim Criberin, a member of his mentor South Carolina.
Harrison: “I’m proud of what I started with DNC here. I created a red state fund. So, to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, make more money on these red states. I have a lot of things to do.
“I have thought to myself. Is it appropriate for another Southerner, a former South Carolina, a former DNC chairman, to understand how to re -establish the Southern Democratic Party? And I think I’m going to do it. “
