Harris Criticizes Biden in Memo, Defends Competence

While promoting her memoir 107 Days, former Vice President Kamala Harris told Steven Bartlett on The Diary of a CEO that a debate-day call from President Joe Biden left her 'angry' and convinced her his motivation was 'all about himself,' suggesting he 'didn't want' the debate with Donald Trump. She said Biden 'greatly disappointed' her at times during the 2024 campaign, described their relationship as 'complicated,' and has not decided whether she will run for office again. Harris said she regrets declining an invitation to Joe Rogan’s podcast late in the campaign, and separately on Jon Stewart’s show defended Biden as 'fully competent' to serve, distinguishing the strains of campaigning from presidential responsibilities. The candid remarks from her memoir and media tour have generated wide coverage and drawn criticism from some Democrats and commentators for airing intra-party tensions.
