Who&#8217;s the boss here?
If Jill Biden&#8217;s new memoir is to be believed, Kamala Harris wasn&#8217;t exactly interested in waiting for Joe Biden to figure that out.
A newly released excerpt from the former first lady&#8217;s upcoming book, &#8220;View from the East Wing,&#8221; reveals what Jill Biden says happened behind closed doors on the day former President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign. And let&#8217;s just say she doesn&#8217;t make Harris look particularly patient.
According to Jill Biden, Harris was shocked when the former president informed her on July 21, 2024, that he was dropping out of the race.
“Oh my God, Joe. Are you sure?” Harris reportedly asked.
Reasonable question.
What came next is what has people talking.
According to the memoir, Biden suggested waiting until the following morning before formally endorsing Harris as his replacement. Harris allegedly had other ideas.
“I want it sooner,” she reportedly replied.
Biden then told Harris he would call her back after he had time to sort things out.
That still wasn&#8217;t fast enough.
“Could you do it soon? Say, in 20 minutes?” Harris allegedly pressed.
At that point, according to Jill Biden, she walked out of the room.
The story is already fueling fresh speculation about the relationship between Harris and the Biden family, which was never exactly warm and fuzzy to begin with.
Long before Harris became vice president, she made headlines during the 2019 Democratic primary by attacking Biden over his past positions on school busing. The exchange became one of the defining moments of the campaign and reportedly left a lasting impression on the Biden family.
Jill Biden certainly didn&#8217;t forget it.
After the debate, she publicly defended her husband and later reportedly questioned why Harris needed to be chosen as his running mate in the first place.
Now, nearly two years after Democrats were forced into a historic last-minute candidate swap, Jill Biden is offering her version of how the handoff unfolded.
And her version reads less like a smooth transition and more like a vice president who saw an opening and wanted the paperwork signed immediately.
The timing of the memoir is also noteworthy.
Jill Biden has spent the past week defending another controversial claim from the book tour, saying she believed her husband might have been suffering a stroke during his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump.
That explanation generated immediate backlash because neither Jill Biden nor anyone else appeared to treat the moment like a medical emergency. Instead, Biden continued campaigning, attended public events, and even appeared at a rally afterward while Democrats insisted he had merely suffered through a bad debate night.
Now Jill Biden is reopening another chapter of the 2024 campaign collapse.
This one comes with a simple question.
When Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency was ending, was Kamala Harris waiting for permission?
Or was she already asking how quickly she could take over?
