The testy relationship between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris has again bubbled up in the pages of the former first lady’s upcoming memoir including her going scorched earth on the ex-veep’s endorsement demands.
In excerpts from “View from the East Wing” which were published by USA Today, Mrs. Biden reveals how she thought that disgraced former President Joe Biden was stroking out during the infamous CNN debate and dished on Harris’ insistence that her husband immediately endorse her after she replaced him as the presumptive 2024 nominee.

Biden was toppled by a Nancy Pelosi-Barack Obama led coup after the nationally televised debate debacle made it impossible to deny his obvious senility, leading to his replacement by Harris who was handed the nomination without a formal primary process.
Mrs. Biden recalls the conversation when the geriatric career politician first called Harris to tell her the news that he was dropping his reelection bid in a call that was on speakerphone at the Bidens’ Rehoboth Beach, Delaware beach home.
“Oh my God, Joe. Are you sure?” Harris asked, according to the excerpt.
Harris then went into what the former first lady labeled “her courtroom prosecutor mode” to push her boss to immediately endorse her as his replacement at the top of the Democrat ticket.
When the involuntarily deposed incumbent suggested that they should wait until the following morning, the former vice president suggested that delaying would open up the possibility for the “mischief” of Democrats who could back another candidate other than herself.
“I want it sooner,” Harris demanded.
“”I’ll call you back when I figure this out,” Mr. Biden replied.
“Could you do it soon?” Harris said. “Say, in twenty minutes?”
Mrs. Biden wrote that at that point, she left the room.
The awkward relationship between the two women has been well documented even before Mrs. Biden’s book cracked open a new can of worms.
There were lingering hard feelings over Harris shaming her hubby about his one time opposition to desegregation and busing during a 2019 primary debate, insinuating that he’s a racist.
Biden was still fuming over the impugning of her husband and reportedly unloaded on Harris during a conference call the next week.
“With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis? Go f–k yourself,” she said, according to a book excerpt reported by Politico in 2021.
Dr. Jill has been making her rounds in the media to hawk her tell-all tome that’s preventing Democrats from turning the page on the horror show that was the Biden era, one of the most grotesque periods in the nation’s history and one that the party badly wants to move on from but she keeps dragging them back.
NEW: Jill Biden’s memoir is the latest frustration for Democrats eager to move on from 2024.
