Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, has reportedly extended her guidance to Vice President Kamala Harris on how to endure political defeats, particularly those against Donald Trump. Clinton’s insights draw from her experience in the 2016 presidential race, providing Harris with strategies to maintain public favor despite electoral setbacks. The shared exchange aims to fortify Harris’s resolve as she considers her political future.

A Discussion on Political Loss and Resilience

Kamala Harris reached out to Clinton for support after her loss in the 2024 presidential election. The two have reportedly met on several occasions, most notably in November, where they discussed navigating the aftermath of their respective defeats to Donald Trump. According to reports, Harris is keen on resilience-building strategies for her political career, learning from Clinton’s experience of securing the popular vote in 2016 despite losing the election.

Clinton was the first female major party nominee to vie for the presidency, a role now shared by Harris as the first female Vice President. Their dialogue underscores the common challenges faced by women in leadership within the political sphere. Handling election losses and planning future endeavors were likely focal points in their discussions.

Private Meetings and Political Alliances

In December, Harris attended a private reception at Clinton’s home in Washington following Clinton’s receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. These personal meetings highlight the strengthening bond between Harris and Clinton, further demonstrated when the Clintons endorsed Harris after President Biden opted out of the reelection race. Clinton’s influence is deemed significant as Harris evaluates her next steps.

While Harris has yet to announce specific future plans, speculation surrounds potential gubernatorial and presidential bids. The insight and strategies shared by Clinton could play a pivotal role in shaping Harris’s political trajectory and resilience.

Despite becoming VP, Kamala Harris lacked the courage and vision to move away from the influence of liberal merchants of death, Hillary and Bill Clinton.
