    The article is a bit difficult to really summarize because the writer goes over many examples from the book, but this paragraph near the end of the article seems like a good enough condensation of it (I only briefly skimmed the article - it is pretty long):

    By now, there is a mountain of evidence that Joe Biden was not capable of carrying on as president, let alone moving into a second term. Harris’s excuses and prevarications on that matter are no longer worth taking into account. The more pressing question is: what kind of a candidate did we get in Kamala Harris? 107 Days shows us a great deal of who she was and is, and it’s a disconcerting sight. Harris does not emerge as a gifted and visionary politician, or even a moderately skilled one. The book confirms what many on the left have known for a long while: that Harris has neither the qualifications nor the expertise to lead the world’s most powerful country.

      Um… pretty sure she could do a hell of a lot better than what is currently going on right now. She’s not my favorite pick by far, but what qualifications or expertise do you really need at this point? The presidency is now officially a joke.

      Thanks,

      I only briefly skimmed the article - it is pretty long

      Exactly, I ended up reading the first third or so, but thanks for the Paragraph, that seems like the author’s own TLDR.
      The only one she would have been better than is of course Trump, but here we are…
