Jill Biden memoir recounts Harris request for quick endorsement

Dansk

A new excerpt from Jill Biden’s upcoming memoir describes a tense exchange on July 21, 2024, when Kamala Harris pressed for an immediate endorsement after Joe Biden decided to end his reelection campaign.

According to the memoir “View from the East Wing,” Biden informed Harris of his decision that day. Harris responded, “Oh my God, Joe. Are you sure?” Biden proposed waiting until the next morning to make the endorsement official. Harris replied that she wanted it sooner and asked if it could happen in 20 minutes, the excerpt states. Jill Biden then left the room, the account adds.
