Former Vice President Kamala Harris revealed that former President Joe Biden phoned her last year at an inopportune time to confront her for allegedly criticizing him behind his back.
The moment came in September of last year, just minutes before her only debate with President Donald Trump. Harris had secured the Democratic nomination after Biden dropped his reelection bid in the wake of a disastrous debate performance in June. During that debacle, Biden repeatedly stumbled over his words and at one point declared, โWe finally beat Medicare.โ
In her upcoming book, 107 Days โ named for the length of her campaign โ Harris discusses her abbreviated 2024 run. In an excerpt obtained by The New York Times, Harris tells of a phone call she received from Biden right before her debate with Trump. She said Biden had heard from his brother that Harris had been talking smack, and that the president decided to ask her about it right before the debate:
The next day, Biden visited a firehouse in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. During the stop, Biden wore an attendeeโs โTRUMP 2024โ hat.
