MSNBC Guest Tells Joy Reid That Kamala Harris’s Own Campaign Chair Leaked Idea to Boot Her from the Ticket in 2023

MSNBC contributor Touré detailed how in 2023 Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon was “leaking” to the press the idea that should be replaced on the Democratic ticket, before Harris’s own bid while she was President Joe Biden’s running mate.

The revelation was made during a broader conversation about why Democrats lost the presidential election on MSNBC’s The Reid Out with host Joy Reid.

Reid was keen to discuss “the consultant factor” and how those involved in the Democratic campaign spent and managed resources, only to lose the election to President-elect Donald Trump.

Touré argued that “there are a lot of reasons why Kamala lost” but that in his interviews with campaign personnel and ranking Democrats, Dillion’s name was raised repeatedly.

One when I spoke to elite Democratic people and they kept bringing up the name Jen O’Malley Dillon. She was the campaign chair for Kamala Harris hired to do that for Biden. This is a Biden person, a Biden loyalist who in 2023 was leaking to the media that Kamala should be replaced on the ticket. This is the reporting that I have on my substack. So this is the person you have to go to battle with, who a year earlier was whispering to reporters saying, make you should be replaced.

When you talk about the consulting class, she has an ad buying company. When she is advising the candidate saying, you should buy ads, that is personally enriching to her. Right? Now, that doesn’t mean she was doing anything nefarious. She did her job as best as she could.
