Kamala Harris reportedly pushes for immediate support after Biden exit; Jill Biden memoir reveals new claims

The details are included in Jill Biden’s upcoming memoir, “An East Wing View,” excerpts of which were reported by the New York Post and USA Today.

Harris reacted with surprise and urgency when she heard the decision, she wrote. “Oh my gosh, Joe. Are you sure?” Harris said, according to excerpts.

Jill Biden further claimed that when Joe Biden suggested waiting until the next morning to announce a formal endorsement, Harris urged action to be expedited.

Harris allegedly responded: “I want it sooner.”

The memoir also noted that when Biden said he would respond later, Harris reiterated the timing, asking: “Can you do it as quickly as possible? Like, within 20 minutes?”

According to Jill Biden, the exchange became so difficult that she eventually left the room.

The move helps solidify Harris’ support and avoids a potentially contentious Democratic electoral process ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

After Biden withdrew, Harris quickly became the leading Democratic figure in the 2024 election cycle.
