Kamala Harris And Jill Biden Reportedly Didn't Always Have A Great Relationship
Vice President Kamala Harris has had her fair share of ups and downs during her tenure in office so far. While a lot of people have long talked about Harris' shady side, it's Harris' staff departure controversy that has gotten a lot of attention. The Washington Post even reached out to a former staffer who said they couldn't take any more of the "soul-destroying criticism" from the VP. If that weren't enough, Harris was also forced to put an end to all the rumors about her relationship with President Joe Biden. In an interview with "Good Morning America" back in November, Harris said there was no truth to the supposed feud between herself and the president. When asked if she thought she was being "misused or underused," Harris responded, "No. I don't. I'm very, very excited about the work that we have accomplished."
That said, there's another Biden that seems to have some internal issues with Harris: First Lady Jill Biden.
Jill Biden is apparently no fan of Kamala Harris
According to the New York Post, First Lady Jill Biden didn't think Kamala Harris was worthy to be her husband Joe Biden's running mate in 2020 — and not because she didn't think Harris was qualified or experienced. Instead, it was because she was not pleased about the way Harris had attacked Joe during a presidential debate in June 2019. During their bust up, Harris blasted Joe over his previous busing stance when she said, "There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools. And she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me."
In New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns' book "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," Jill was supposedly furious that Harris was chosen as her husband's VP running mate. "There are millions of people in the United States. Why do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe," Jill supposedly said (via the New York Post).
Jill also shared her thoughts about Harris' debate comments in a group phone call, according to Edward-Isaac Dovere's book, "Battle for the Soul" (via Politico). She reportedly said, "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." Jill is clearly a woman who stands by her man.
