New Jill Biden Book Reveals Tense Exchange With Kamala Harris

Jill Biden writes that Joe Biden personally called Harris to inform her of his decision.

According to the memoir, Harris initially expressed surprise.

“Oh my God, Joe. Are you sure?” Jill Biden recalls Harris saying.

The conversation quickly shifted to what would happen next.

Joe Biden reportedly suggested waiting until the following morning before issuing a formal endorsement of Harris as his successor.

Harris, however, was unwilling to wait.

“I want it sooner,” Harris reportedly told the president.

When Biden responded that he would call her back after figuring out the details, Harris continued pressing for a faster timeline.
