Kamala Harris Admits Joe Biden 'Greatly Disappointed' and 'Angered' Her With 'Unnecessary' Phone Call Before Donald Trump Debate

Kamala Harris isn't holding back.

Appearing on the October 30 episode of Steven Bartlett's "Diary Of A CEO" podcast, the former Vice President of the United States opened up about a time that Joe Biden let her down.

Harris told Bartlett that when Biden called her ahead of her debate against Donald Trump in September 2024, he at first told her to "go get 'em" but then told her something that left her shaken her up.

She told Bartlett, "He went on to talk about a group of people in Pennsylvania who were saying bad things about me because they heard I was saying bad things about him."

Harris continued, revealing that when she hung up the phone she was so upset.

"It was unbelievable," she said, adding, "I was angry and deeply disappointed."

She explained that Biden knew what it was like to debate Trump and that the "the stakes were so high."

"It was...It was so unnecessary," she said, recalling the frustrating moment.

Harris shared that she still has a "good relationship" with Biden, despite it being "very complicated."

"I just talked to him — he called me for my birthday," Harris, who turned 61 on October 20, told Bartlett when he asked if they were friends.

She added, "I have a great deal of affection for him. There were times that I've been candid about when he greatly disappointed me, and frankly, you know, angered me."

Harris also shared that the president's staff was "suppressing" her "accomplishments" because she was seen as a "threat" to him.

She also revealed that his inner circle was "adding fuel to negative narratives that sprung up" about her. She said no one defended her amidst media attacks, despite them having the resources to help.

When Bartlett asked her if she thought Biden knew about his team trying to keep her down, she replied, "I don't know if he did."

All of the aforementioned is detailed in Harris' new memoir 107 Days: A Memoir of a Campaign That Made History, which was released on September 23.

The former Democratic nominee podcast appearance comes after she told the BBC in her first U.K. interview that she's "not done" with politics and isn't ruling out another presidential run just yet.

"I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it's in my bones," she said on the October 26 edition of BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.
