Rep. Clyburn throws Kamala Harris campaign under the bus, says team failed her

Clyburn said he wasn't going to advise Harris on her next steps but praised her as a "tremendous talent" who had been let down by her campaign staff during the presidential race.

"I will say this. I think that she is a tremendous talent. I think she ran a great campaign. I think she was ill-served in that campaign by people who should have listened to some of us who saw and felt things," Clyburn began.  

"Listen to Bill Clinton when he told them what was going on. Listen to yours truly, when I was going around these rural communities, I knew what we needed to do and was not doing it," he continued.

According to the bombshell new book, "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," by journalists Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen, Harris "bought the hype" she was going to win the election.

"They thought that they were going to win. And so, you know, when they come back now and say, 'Oh, no, we didn't really have a chance.' No, that's not what they were thinking. They thought they were going to win," she added.

Harris has reportedly told friends in the aftermath of her defeat that she could've won the election if she had more time and if Biden hadn't run for re-election.
