Former VP Reveals Tensions in Biden Administration

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has launched scathing criticism against Joe Biden's White House in her upcoming memoir "107 Days," revealing deep tensions and what she describes as "reckless" decision-making during the final months of the Biden presidency.

"Roekeloos" Decision-Making

Harris characterizes Biden's decision to run for re-election in 2024 as "reckless," writing that "this was not a choice that should have been left to someone's ego or ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision." The memoir, set for release later this month, has already generated significant controversy with excerpts published by The Atlantic.

Age Concerns and Internal Politics

Harris acknowledges that Biden, at 81 years old, "often looked tired: his age became visible in physical and verbal hesitations." However, she felt unable to address these concerns directly, fearing Biden would question her motives and consider her "toxically disloyal."

"I discovered that the president's staff actively fed negative stories about me." - Kamala Harris

West Wing Tensions

The memoir reveals that Biden's team operated on a "zero-sum" mentality regarding Harris's popularity. "Their thinking was zero-sum: if she shines, then he dims," Harris writes about the White House's West Wing. "No one understood that when I performed well, he also performed well."

Campaign Aftermath

Harris took over the Democratic nomination after Biden withdrew from the race but ultimately lost to Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Critics argued she had insufficient time to establish herself as a candidate. The memoir represents her first extensive commentary on this turbulent period.

Biden has not yet responded to Harris's criticisms. The revelations come as Harris prepares for a book promotion tour without Secret Service protection, which President Trump recently revoked.
