Kamala Harris Recalls A Call That Shook Her
During her appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Harris revealed that ahead of her fiery debate with Donald Trump, she got a call from then-President Joe Biden — one that she expected would hype her up for the battle ahead. Instead, she says, it left her frustrated and disappointed. According to Harris, Biden told her that “a group of people” in Pennsylvania had been speaking negatively about her because they thought she’d been talking trash about him. Harris didn’t mince words, calling the exchange an example of why her relationship with Biden remains “complicated.”
“I was told that he wanted to call so that I’d be ready,” Harris revealed. “I was so sure it was to buck me up and (say) ‘go get ‘em’ … When I hung up the phone I was just – it was unbelievable, and I was – yes I was angry, and deeply disappointed. It was so unnecessary.”
The TL Felt Kamala’s Pain — And Her Power
As soon as the clip hit The Shade Room’s Instagram, the comment section lit up like wildfire. Fans pointed out how Kamala’s body language said it all. Additionally, many shared sympathy for how things went down, with countless users saying they still believe in her leadership. And, some are hoping she throws her hat back in the ring one day.
One Instagram user @polishdon_ said, “You can tell it’s complicated by the way she changed her posture.“
This Instagram user @raisean__moody wrote, “I think there’s unspoken resentment she has for Joe, rightfully so because he & his team knew his mental competency before he ran again.“
And, Instagram user @sampsonmccormick said, “She doesn’t like Biden and that ain’t her friend—she got a dirty deal and was set up to lose. 🤷🏾♂️”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @urchitowndiva added, “I still be thinking about that debate. Like people really voted for a man trying to convince us that people was eating dogs and cats 😭”
While Instagram user @tsadiva shared, “Girl they didn’t deserve you“
Lastly, Instagram user @sugarbombbakery.co commented, “She’s so poised and brilliant 😍”
Sis Kept It Cute, But The Side-Eye Was Clear
The conversation comes as part of Harris’ media tour promoting her book ‘107 Days,’ where she’s been reflecting on her whirlwind time in the spotlight. She kept it real about her feelings, saying that while she still has “a great deal of affection” for Biden, he still “greatly disappointed” her.
Harris also added that she never worried about Biden’s ability to serve as President. However, she seemingly hinted at regret on the brutal grind of him staying in the White House. “I do reflect on whether I should have had a conversation with him, urging him not to run,” Harris admitted. She continued, saying, “My concern, especially on reflection is, should I have actually raised it?” Additionally, she wondered whether holding back was an act of “grace or recklessness.” Harris may be all smiles on camera, but this latest confession proves she’s still unpacking a political partnership that wasn’t always picture-perfect.
