Jill Biden, the nation’s former first lady, stated that the former president Joe Biden does not hold a grudge against Kamala Harris and they remain friends despite the comments made by the former vice president that leave him in a bad light in front of the public.
Last October, during his participation in the podcast The Diary Of A CEO, the Californian who lost the presidential election in 2024 exhibited Joe Biden after ensuring that, in a phone call made between the two minutes before debating Donald Trump, he noticed he was worried.
“He called me from debate camp and I realized something wasn’t right. I was worried… I guess he didn’t want to debate.
Like any competition you enter, whether you’re bidding on something, if it’s sports, you have to want it. If you don’t want to participate in the competition, that will certainly affect your performance. AND I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to debate. “I think they convinced him and then we all saw what happened,” he said.
In his book “107 days”, Kamala Harris also defined it as reckless to have allowed Biden to run for a hypothetical re-election.
“I knew he would find it incredibly selfish if I advised him not to run. He would see it as shameless ambition, perhaps poisonous disloyalty.
It’s Joe and Jill’s decision. We all said it, like a mantra, as if hypnotized. Was it grace or recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was reckless. There was too much at stake. This was not a decision that should have been left in the hands of the ego, of the individual’s personal ambition,” he explained.
From these statements, The distance between Biden and Harris was noticeable, this despite the fact that the former president’s wife recently denied it.
“They are still friends… They talk, she calls him or he calls her. You have to understand Joe as a person. He doesn’t… hold grudges,” he said during the promotion of his new book at the Sixth & I synagogue in Washington, DC
