Former Vice President Kamala Harris has made explosive claims in her upcoming memoir, alleging that President Joe Biden personally confronted her and issued a veiled threat in the heat of the 2020 campaign.<\/p>\n

The revelations came to light after Fox News host Jesse Watters shared excerpts from Harris\u2019s book on his Thursday night broadcast. According to Harris, the tense exchange occurred just days before her vice-presidential debate against Donald Trump, an event she described as a pivotal moment in the race.<\/p>\n

The Call From Biden<\/p>\n

Harris writes that Biden phoned her after speaking with his brother, James Biden, who allegedly told him that Harris had been privately critical of the campaign. Rumors of her comments reportedly circulated in Philadelphia, causing Democratic donors there to threaten pulling financial support.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just couldn\u2019t understand why he would call me right now and make it all about himself, distracting me with worry about hostile power brokers in the biggest city in the most important swing state,\u201d Harris recalled in the book.<\/p>\n

She went on to say that the timing of Biden\u2019s call added unnecessary stress at a critical point in the campaign.<\/p>\n

In another striking passage, Harris wrote that she believed it was \u201creckless\u201d for Biden to seek reelection, questioning whether he had the stamina to serve another term. Still, she admitted that she maintained a public front of support to avoid undermining the Democratic ticket.<\/p>\n

Watters summarized it bluntly: \u201cShe thought he was unfit, but she smiled for the cameras anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frustrations With Biden\u2019s Staff<\/p>\n

Harris also used her memoir to criticize Biden\u2019s communications team, arguing they failed to defend her against relentless attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had a huge comms team. They had Karine Jean-Pierre briefing in the pressroom every day. But getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible,\u201d Harris wrote.<\/p>\n

She noted that media outlets frequently mocked her laugh, her speaking style, and even her dating history \u2014 while the White House did little to counter those narratives.<\/p>\n

Fallout From the Book<\/p>\n

The memoir has already sparked pushback from Biden\u2019s allies, many of whom accuse Harris of rewriting history to serve her own political future. Some Democrats worry the book could deepen internal divisions at a time when party unity is seen as crucial heading into the next election cycle.<\/p>\n

Watters, for his part, suggested the former vice president was deliberately \u201cthrowing her friends under the bus\u201d in an effort to boost book sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuicy gossip \u2014 that\u2019s the only way,\u201d Watters said. \u201cBecause the press tour so far is uninspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Party Divided?<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019s memoir is set for release later this fall, but even the early excerpts paint a picture of a Democratic Party struggling with internal fractures. By portraying Biden as both insecure and reckless, she risks alienating longtime Democratic power brokers while potentially appealing to voters seeking a fresh start.<\/p>\n

The book comes at a critical time: Biden allies have already been defending him after other excerpts accused Democrats of being \u201creckless\u201d in leaving the party\u2019s nomination to the now-former president.<\/p>\n

Whether Harris\u2019s memoir cements her as a truth-teller or a political opportunist remains to be seen \u2014 but the fallout has only just begun.<\/p>\n
