Kamala Harris: ‘She just walked away from me’: Red-district Dem’s awkward meeting with Kamala Harris

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez shared her disappointment with Kamala Harris, saying she felt like Harris didn’t understand her concerns during a campaign meeting. Perez mentioned that despite Harris calling her colleagues, she never received a phone call herself. She recalled an awkward interaction with Harris at a Christmas party, where she tried to point out the importance of real Christmas trees grown in her district, but felt that Harris didn’t grasp her message. Perez emphasized the need for national Democrats to address issues like the fentanyl crisis and high food costs that affect her district. She also highlighted the importance of taking accountability and looking inward instead of blaming others.
