Hillary shared an audio clip she recorded of her epilogue for her upcoming book with Morning Joe:
After I got off the phone with the vice president I looked at Bill with a huge smile and said, “This is exciting!” I felt promise, I felt possibility. It was exhilarating! When I imagine Kamala standing before the Capitol next January, taking the oath of office as our first woman president, my heart leaps. After hard years of division, it will prove that our best days are still ahead and that we are making progress on our long journey toward a more perfect union. And it will make such a difference in the lives of hard-working people everywhere.
For now thinking about this momentous period I find myself turning back to where this book began. As Joni Mitchell sang all those years ago, “Something’s lost, but something’s gained.”Democrats have lost our standard-bearer. We will miss Joe Biden’s steady leadership, deep empathy, and fighting spirit. He is a wise and decent man who served our country well. Yet we have gained much too: a new champion, an invigorated campaign, and a renewed sense of purpose.
This is what was supposed to happen since Biden “picked” Harris as his VP. I swear this was the Democrats’ plan all along.
I highly doubt Hillary is as excited as she says, though. After all, in her mind, the first female president should have been her.
