Former Vice President Kamala Harris grumbled on Thursday about the time that former President Joe Biden called her before her debate against the then-Republican nominee Donald Trump to talk about himself.
Harris said on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast that Biden called to inform her that he heard rumors about her saying “bad things” about him. She recalled that she was “angry” with the then-president when she hung up the phone, as she expected him to cheer her on right before the debate.
“I’m in my hotel room with Doug, my husband, and the president calls and I was told that he wanted to call me so that I’d be ready and I was so sure it was to buck me up and ‘go get em,’” Harris said. “And he did say that for the first beat, and then he went on to talk about a group of people in Pennsylvania who are saying bad things about me because they heard I was saying bad things about him and when I hung up the phone, I was just, it was unbelievable. And I was, yes, I was angry and deeply disappointed. It was just so unnecessary.”
WATCH:
The former vice president stated that Biden “greatly disappointed” her at times ahead of the election.
The host, Steven Bartlett, suggested that Biden did not want the best for Harris based on that call.
“If someone called me in the lead-up to debate prep and said something like that to me, I would assume that they don’t want the best for me,” Bartlett said.
“My takeaway is that his motivation was all about himself,” Harris said. “Yeah right, obviously, right. It wasn’t about my performance at the debate.”
Harris’ book, “107 Days,” is highly critical of the Biden White House and accused them of stunting her ability to defeat Trump. She blamed the Biden press team for allegedly failing to highlight her work as “border czar” and did not defend her against the public’s attacks against her.
Several Democratic strategists and operatives were livid by Harris’ book, with one calling it “unhelpful and divisive” and making it almost impossible for her to be the face of the party in the future. Another anonymous adviser to a prospective 2028 candidate said that Harris “chose to write a gossip book that prioritizes the pettiness of her politics.”
The former vice president assured that Biden was mentally fit to serve another term in office, though she admitted that she had reservations about his ability to run another successful campaign. She also said during the BBC interview that she may run for president again.
