As
Kamala Harris hits the 2024 presidential campaign trail in hopes of securing a second term alongside Joe Biden, a new tell-all lifts the lid on the pair's now frosty relationship and how the president and First Lady Jill can't stand nor trust the VP, four years after their historic victory.
In his new book,
Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House, published on Tuesday, veteran Washington journalist Charlie Spiering lifts the lid on the tension between the ill-matched pair, largely thanks to Harris's 'refusal to be a team player.'
Contending that America's historic first black female second in command is just 'a brain stroke away from the presidency,' he claims the 'real reason' Biden decided to run for a second term is because 'Kamala is not up to the job,' and the Bidens don't want to see her replace him.
Biden's actual first choice for his running mate in 2020, was Gretchen Whitmer, 52, the then-recently elected governor of
Michigan, while the first lady 'fought against choosing Harris in favor of Susan Rice,' a top
Barack Obama confidante and national security adviser in his administration, according to the book.
But Obama, 'pushed Kamala', and Biden went along despite her embarrassing criticism of him as a virtual racist in the 2020 presidential debates when she, too, was briefly running for president.
Biden chose Kamala because he promised the nation he would
choose a black woman as his running mate. Whitmer is white.
