Kamala Harris Discusses Sleep Deprivation Before Picking Running Mate

Vice President Kamala Harris made a startling admission about her mental state during a critical decision-making process.

According to WokeSpy, Harris disclosed on a podcast that she was sleep-deprived when she selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. 

During an appearance on the "All The Smoke" podcast, hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Harris opened up about the tumultuous period following President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the campaign. She described the subsequent weeks in July as a whirlwind of activity that left her struggling with insomnia.

Harris recounted:

From the time that the president called me and told me he wasn't running, I mean, it's just like everything was in speedy, speedy motion, and I was not sleeping so well.

The Vice President went on to describe how she coped with the stress and lack of sleep on the morning she chose her running mate. Instead of focusing on the monumental decision ahead, Harris found herself in the kitchen.

Unexpected Coping Mechanism Emerges Amid Political Turmoil

Harris's unconventional approach to dealing with the pressure of selecting a running mate raised eyebrows among political observers.

The Vice President detailed how she spontaneously decided to prepare a pork roast in the early hours of the morning, despite having only a few hours of sleep. This culinary distraction occurred on the same day she was set to announce Governor Walz as her choice for the Democratic ticket.

Harris explained her impromptu cooking session:

And that one morning I just, I mean, I had, I don't know, a few hours' sleep – and I, you know, I like to sleep. I just got up. I was like – so I just went out and got a pork roast and started marinating it.

Public Reaction and Concerns Over Decision-Making Process

The Vice President's candid admission about her sleep-deprived state during such a crucial decision has sparked debate about her judgment and readiness for higher office.

Many social media users expressed concern over Harris's approach to decision-making, particularly given the gravity of choosing a potential successor to the presidency. Critics argued that such an important decision should have been made with a clear and well-rested mind.

Some commentators speculated whether this revelation might lead to a new nickname for the Vice President, drawing parallels to the "Sleepy Joe" moniker often used by opponents to describe President Biden.

Harris's disclosure also prompted questions about the vetting process for vice presidential candidates and the pressure placed on politicians during high-stakes campaigns.
