Remember Kamala Harris’s Dismal Presidential Campaign?

By mid November of 2019, Kelly Mehlenbacher had had enough of Kamala Harris’s failing presidential campaign. The veteran Democratic operative who’d been serving as the Harris campaign’s state-operations director abruptly resigned.

She laid out her concerns in a searing letter: “This is my third presidential campaign and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly,” she wrote, adding that, with fewer than 90 days until the Iowa caucuses, “we still do not have a real plan to win.”
