The former vice president of the United States launched strong criticism at her former running mate for his lack of support for her 2024 campaign

The former Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, expressed criticism toward the administration of former President Joe Biden by pointing out that she did not receive the necessary support during her failed presidential campaign last year.
The statements were made during a television interview with comedian Jimmy Kimmel, in which Harris suggested that the lack of time and institutional support negatively influenced her attempt to reach the White House.
When she was asked whether Biden and his inner circle did enough to help her during the race, Harris replied that her campaign needed more time and greater backing from "certain places in the administration."
Although she did not mention specific names, the statement marks a significant shift from her stance during the campaign, when she publicly defended the then President and avoided displaying internal disagreements within the Democratic Party.

The interview was part of a broader political repositioning strategy by Harris, who is currently promoting her book "107 Days."
In recent weeks, the former Vice President has intensified her public activity with an expanded book tour, a prominent speech before the Democratic National Committee during its winter meeting, and the introduction of new political messages, according to Axios. These actions have fueled speculation about a possible presidential bid in 2028.
During the conversation, Harris also addressed sensitive issues related to the Biden administration, such as the decision not to release the files linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

When she was questioned about this matter, she offered an explanation focused on the separation between the executive branch and the Department of Justice, noting that the government considered it essential not to interfere in judicial processes.
However, her response was lengthy and vague, which reflected the difficulties she faced in justifying controversial decisions by an administration of which she was a part.
Harris also referred to President Donald Trump's second term, which she hypocritically described as chaotic. Nevertheless, her analysis focused on general terms, noting that what is happening is the accelerated implementation of a conservative plan developed over decades by organizations such as the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.

Harris's implicit criticism also rekindles questions about Joe Biden's legacy. The fact that his Vice President now publicly acknowledges a lack of support suggests problems of coordination and strategy within his administration, especially regarding the transition of leadership within the Democratic Party. Analysts point out that Biden's management did not succeed in consolidating a strong successor figure or a clear strategy to face future electoral cycles.
Despite the doubts, early polls place Harris among the leading names that could compete for the Democratic nomination in 2028. However, her recent performance, the internal tensions that are now coming to light, and her difficulties in communicating clear positions on key decisions continue to raise questions about her ability to lead a competitive presidential candidacy in the near future.
