Kamala Harris just dropped a bombshell in her new book that’s sure to rile up anyone tired of Washington’s self-serving drama.
In her upcoming release, 107 Days, set for publication this week, Harris spills the beans on a tense phone call from then-President Joe Biden right before her sole debate with Donald Trump, a call that left her fuming and distracted at a critical moment, as the New York Post reports.
As Harris was gearing up for the high-stakes face-off with Trump, Biden rang her up with what was supposed to be a pep talk but quickly veered into a lecture about loyalty -- or the lack thereof.
Biden, according to Harris, started by wishing her luck, but then pivoted to scolding her over rumors that she’d been bad-mouthing him behind closed doors.
He even name-dropped his brother, claiming, “My brother called,” and mentioned some shadowy “power brokers” in Philadelphia who were supposedly withholding support because of her alleged trash talk. Now, isn’t that a convenient way to unsettle someone hours before a debate?
Harris admits she had no clue who these mysterious Philly players were, but the implication was clear: Biden was more worried about his own image than her performance against Trump.
The call didn’t stop at vague accusations; Biden rambled on about his own past debate highlights, leaving Harris confused and, frankly, ticked off. Talk about a masterclass in missing the point -- shouldn’t a leader be lifting up their teammate, not dragging them down with personal gripes?
Harris writes that the conversation felt self-centered, burdening her with unnecessary stress about hostile forces in a pivotal city in a key state. If that’s not a recipe for derailing focus, what is?
Even her husband, then-second gentleman Doug Emhoff, could see the distress on her face and offered a simple, “Let it go,” as advice to shake off the negativity before she stepped onto the debate stage.
While Harris kept her public comments about Biden diplomatic during her campaign, she doesn’t hold back in 107 Days, using the book to lay bare the friction between them as she stepped into the role of Democratic Party presidential nominee. It’s a rare peek behind the curtain of party unity, and it’s not a pretty picture.
She also reflects on a frustrating mantra among Democrats at the time: “It’s Joe and Jill’s decision,” which she argues showed a dangerous recklessness rather than any kind of noble grace. When the stakes are sky-high, leaving critical choices to personal ambition instead of collective strategy is a gamble conservatives have long warned against.
Harris puts it bluntly in an excerpt, saying the reliance on individual ego over broader responsibility was a misstep. That’s a sentiment many on the right can nod to -- government isn’t a personal fiefdom, no matter how progressive the agenda.
On another note, Harris reveals she initially favored then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate but ultimately went with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Her reasoning? A calculated concern about the “risk” of pushing America to accept a ticket led by a Black woman married to a Jewish man.
While some might call that pragmatic, others will see it as pandering to perceived cultural biases rather than challenging them head-on -- a classic move from a party often accused of prioritizing optics over principle. It’s a decision that raises eyebrows, especially for those who value conviction over caution in leadership.
Ultimately, Harris’ book 107 Days isn’t just a memoir; it’s a window into the messy underbelly of political alliances and the personal clashes that shape public outcomes. For those fed up with the left’s endless navel-gazing, this account of backstage drama only reinforces why a return to straightforward, no-nonsense governance is overdue. Isn’t it time we moved past these elite squabbles and focused on what actually matters to everyday Americans?
