Far-left daytime host Whoopi Goldberg stunned on “The View” when she said that Kamala Harris “should have run a better campaign” if she wanted to beat President Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election.

The remark came as excerpts from Harris’ book “107 Days” circulated, in which the former vice president pointed fingers at Joe Biden and his advisers.

Harris portrayed Biden’s decision to run for reelection as “reckless” and argued that his staff worked behind the scenes to make her path to victory even harder.

Reflecting on her time in the White House, Harris admitted she considered whether she should have told Biden not to run.

“During all those months of growing panic, should I have told Joe to consider not running? Perhaps,” she wrote.

But Harris said that as Biden’s second-in-command, she was trapped in a position where any suggestion would be viewed as naked ambition.

“I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run,” she admitted, calling it potential “poisonous disloyalty.”

Harris wrote that she went along with the White House’s mantra that the decision was Biden’s to make with his family, but now sees it differently.

“Was it grace, or was it recklessness?” she asked. Looking back, she concluded it was recklessness and insisted that allowing one man’s ego to dictate the future of the nation was dangerous.

Goldberg, known for defending Democrats on nearly every issue, surprisingly broke with Harris. She said the endless finger-pointing needed to stop.

“People love to go back and say what we should have done. We should have run a better campaign,” Goldberg said.

She said that Democrats got the result voters wanted and now had to face reality.

Goldberg added that Democrats “should have kept their mouths shut” instead of publicly questioning Biden’s mental state.

“I don’t understand why we got to re-litigate it. It happened and now we’re all sitting in it and it’s everybody’s fault,” Goldberg remarked.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin disagreed, saying Democrats should have urged Biden to drop out of the race sooner because of his advanced age.

Democrats had long insisted Biden was mentally fit until the June 2024 debate against Trump, when Biden faltered badly on stage, appearing lost and weak.

The disastrous performance forced many in his party to demand he step down, which he ultimately did the following month.

But even after Biden’s withdrawal, Harris failed to gain traction. Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin suggested her loss stemmed from America’s unwillingness to elect a black woman.

Harris lost every battleground state and, for the first time in two decades, Democrats lost the popular vote.

In her book, Harris repeatedly attacked Biden’s aides, accusing them of “adding fuel to negative narratives” about her leadership style and staff turnover.

She claimed she was forced to take the blame for the border crisis even though she was given little support.

Harris wrote that despite having a communications team with daily press briefings, “getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible.”

She accused Biden’s staff of being fine with letting her image suffer if it made Biden look good.

“Things that had never been especially newsworthy about the vice president were suddenly reported and scrutinized,” she wrote, saying the president’s circle seemed comfortable letting her be portrayed as ineffective.

Harris also defended her record on immigration, noting she secured billions in corporate commitments for Central America.

Harris, who visited the border only once during her time as “Border Czar,” feels she was left carrying the blame for the ongoing crisis.

She said the problem demanded bipartisan cooperation but she was left on her own, writing that even Trump’s policies had failed to deter illegal crossings.

Ultimately, Harris concluded that Biden’s team did not want her to succeed.

“Their thinking was zero-sum: If she’s shining, he’s dimmed,” she wrote. “None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well.”

The former Vice President argued that her visibility should have reassured the public given Biden’s age, but instead she felt sidelined.

Former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany dismissed Harris’ defense, calling it a list of excuses.

She pointed out that Trump solved the border problem quickly through executive action, while Harris failed to act.

“He shut down people coming across the border, got-aways, he solved the problem with a pen,” McEnany said, adding that Harris had the same opportunity but did nothing.

McEnany said Biden’s staff recognized Harris’ incompetence and that’s why speculation grew around Pete Buttigieg as a possible successor instead.

“They saw incompetence. That is not a problem of the president, that is a problem that is deeply personal,” she commented.

She also reminded viewers of Harris’ staggering staff turnover. “She had a 92 percent staff turnover rate,” McEnany remarked, noting that such leaks and chaos were unique to Harris and never plagued Trump or his team.

She said Harris had been given multiple chances to prove herself but repeatedly embarrassed herself on camera.

“It’s not because she’s a woman,” McEnany stressed. “It’s because she was given many problems she did not have the wherewithal to solve.”
