Not to mention how many people lied about her career.
Kamala Harris has dropped out of the presidential race. (Politico/WAPO)

In other words she basically knew all along she had no shot of presidency but used this publicity to raise her stock for an important Senate seat?
Yeah I kinda could see that plan.
How many Black Senators have their been? Even in "Black" States like Illinois and Maryland? White people don't vote for Black people in large numbers. For her to keep her Senate Seat she needs money and Clout/ National Profile i.e going after Trump. That's why she ran.
Her official statement from medium
I am suspending my campaign today
Kamala Harris
Dec 3 · 3 min read
Eleven months ago at the launch of our campaign in Oakland I told you all: “I am not perfect. But I will always speak with decency and moral clarity and treat all people with dignity and respect. I will lead with integrity. I will speak the truth.”
And that’s what I have tried to do every day of this campaign. So here’s the truth today.
I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life.
My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.
I’m not a billionaire. I can’t fund my own campaign. And as the campaign has gone on, it’s become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete.
In good faith, I can’t tell you, my supporters and volunteers, that I have a path forward if I don’t believe I do.
So, to you my supporters, it is with deep regret — but also with deep gratitude — that I am suspending my campaign today.
But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight.
And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for The People. All the people.
Our campaign has been about fighting for people whose voices that have not been heard or too often ignored.
We will keep up that fight.
Let’s remember: we were the first to put the injustice of inadequate teacher pay on the national agenda.
We will keep up that fight.
We were the first to demand justice for our children, declaring we would take bold executive actions to stop gun violence.
We will keep up that fight.
We were the first to demand justice for women with a plan to block unconstitutional state abortion laws.
We will keep up that fight.
And our campaign uniquely spoke to the experiences of Black women and people of color — and their importance to the success and future of this party. Our campaign demanded no one should be taken for granted by any political party.
We will keep up that fight because no one should be made to fight alone.
And I believe our campaign showed every child in America — regardless of their color or gender — that there are no limits to who can lead and hold positions of power in our country.
In that way — this campaign has been so much bigger than me.
I am extremely grateful to the hundreds of staff who moved and uprooted their lives and sacrificed time away from their families. I know our fight has been personal for each of them.
Of course, I could not have done this without my husband Doug and my entire family and friends who gave up so much to embark on this journey with me and have supported me every step of the way.
And I am grateful to the thousands of volunteers and contributors who chipped in, who knocked on doors, who made calls and who put their faith and trust in me. It has been the honor of my life to be your candidate.
And I want to be clear: although I am no longer running for President, I will do everything in my power to defeat Donald Trump and fight for the future of our country and the best of who we are.
I know you will too. So let’s do that together.
Let’s keep fighting for the America we believe in, an America free of injustice. An America that we know we can be unburdened by what has been.
Thank you.

When Gov. Patrick and mayor Bloomberg entered the race at such a late stage, it pretty much signaled that this is ANYBODY's race.
Bloomberg was a spoiler in many ways because he doesn't have to answer to donors.
He poached members of Harris' team. I expect him to make offers to talented, but underpaid ,people working for other candidates too.
I expected thngs to sort themselves out after Iowa. I was wrong.
I don't think Harris ever recovered from "how are you talking about the weed you smoked, when you headed law enforcement that prosecuted people for weed?"
