‘All About Himself’: Harris Says Biden Threatened Her Ahead of Election
Kamala Harris is back in the headlines — and not because she’s staging a political comeback. Instead, the failed vice president is hawking a memoir packed with score-settling, backbiting, and finger-pointing at her former boss, Joe Biden, and fellow Democrats.
Fox News host Jesse Watters revealed Thursday that Harris’s book contains a bombshell account of Biden calling her right before her debate with Donald Trump — not to encourage her, but to berate her and threaten consequences over alleged grumbling about his campaign.
According to Harris, Biden accused her of criticizing him in conversations that had supposedly trickled back to Philadelphia power brokers. Harris wrote that she was stunned Biden would “make it all about himself” at such a crucial moment.
Harris also admitted in the memoir that she believed it was “reckless” for Biden to run for reelection — yet she publicly carried water for him, maintaining the façade that the aging Democrat was fit for another term.
Throwing Everyone Under the Bus
Harris doesn’t spare Biden’s staff either, blasting their massive communications team for failing to defend her. She complains that when Fox News criticized her for everything from her awkward cackle to her hollow résumé, the White House rarely stood up for her.
Watters summed it up perfectly: “Kamala is going to throw all of her friends under the bus just to sell the book. Juicy gossip, that’s the only way.”

Democrats Fire Back
Democrats aren’t happy with Harris’s revisionist history. Former Biden aides told Politico her complaints sound self-serving, even cruel, given Biden’s declining health.
One aide fumed: “No one wants to hear your pity party.” Another blasted Harris for not creating daylight between herself and Biden when it mattered: “Why didn’t she do this during the campaign?”
The answer is obvious: Harris lacked the courage to confront Biden during the race, just as she has lacked substance throughout her political career.
Harris’s Excuses Keep Piling Up
Harris portrays her loss to President Trump as the result of others’ failures, rather than her own disastrous campaign. She argues that leaving the nomination to Biden was a mistake, writing: “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition.”
Yet Democrats know the truth: Harris was wildly unpopular, incoherent on policy, and incapable of connecting with voters. Her laugh became a national punchline, her speeches were riddled with word salads, and her tenure as “border czar” was an abject failure.
Now, after announcing she won’t run for California governor in 2026, Harris is trying to salvage her brand through a tell-all memoir — one that reveals more about her bitterness than Biden’s flaws.
The book is less about honesty than it is about deflection. Harris wants to rewrite history, but Americans haven’t forgotten: she lost to Donald Trump, and badly.
