Kamala Harris's Former Lover Speaks on Election, Voices Concerns About Her Presidency

In a revealing set of interviews, Willie Brown, former San Francisco mayor, suggested President Joe Biden should resign to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to assume office.

The Daily Mail reported that Brown, at 90 years old, not only reflected on his past relationship with Kamala Harris but also his continued influence on her political path. Dating back to when Harris was a young prosecutor, Brown's involvement in her life has been substantial and multifaceted.

Their relationship began when Brown was 60 and campaigning for the mayor's office, while Harris was a 29-year-old prosecutor.

This marked the start of a professional and personal connection that would impact Harris's career profoundly.

The Early Influence of Willie Brown

Brown appointed Harris to two significant state positions that helped launch her political career. These appointments not only provided her with a hefty salary over five years but also a BMW and introductions to powerful figures in San Francisco's political landscape.

Despite their breakup, Brown continued to play a supportive role in Harris's career. He was instrumental in her initial political campaigns, including her first successful run for San Francisco District Attorney.

Brown's patronage extended to facilitating endorsements from other key figures, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, boosting Harris's political stature significantly.

Brown expressed his concerns about Harris's public perception, comparing her situation to "the Hillary syndrome," a reference to Hillary Clinton, whom he believes was unfairly disliked. He voiced worries about this perception being a lasting challenge for Harris.

Despite these challenges, Brown highlighted Harris's resilience and independence. Harris herself has been vocal about moving beyond Brown's shadow, emphasizing her autonomy and asserting, "Willie Brown is not going to be around. He’s gone—hello people, move on."

She further distanced herself from Brown's influence during her campaigns, stating her career achievements are hers alone, showcasing a determined stance to establish her own political identity.

Willie Brown's Take on Other Political Figures

During the 1990s, Brown recounted an incident involving Donald Trump, who flew him, Harris, and his team to New York for a meeting.

Although Harris did not participate, Brown used this example to illustrate Trump's approach to politics, labeling him merely "an entertainer."

Brown's reflections provide a unique insider's view on the intertwining of personal relationships and political careers in U.S. politics.

His candid insights reveal both the supportive and complicated facets of his relationship with Harris, painting a picture of a complex political landscape where personal histories and public careers are deeply intertwined.

Conclusion

Willie Brown's interviews shed light on the intricate dynamics between personal relationships and political advancements.

His advocacy for Harris to assume the presidency underscores his belief in her capabilities despite the challenges.

Harris's journey from a young prosecutor influenced by Brown to a potential U.S. president reflects her resilience and evolution as a politician. Brown's narrative highlights the ongoing impact of his early support while acknowledging the need for Harris to forge her path independent of their shared past.
