Former first lady Jill Biden was “shocked” when the 2024 election results came in and then-Vice President Kamala Harris lost.
Biden spoke with CBS News “Sunday Morning” when she held firm she supported Kamala Harris’ run White House for the White House and was sure Harris would win. President Donald Trump walked away with the “W.”
However, Harris has complained the Bidens abandoned her when it came to fending off GOP attacks.
She also accused Joe Biden of harping on a supposed slight against him to donors just before she took the debate stage against Trump.
Jill Biden said they always had Harris’ back.
“Oh, all out,” Jill about her efforts to get Harris elected. “I was out on the trail, I think every single day. I traveled the entire country.”
“[On] election night, I was certain she was going to win,” Jill Biden continued. “The excitement for her and the crowds and, I mean, how people rallied around her, and I truly felt that she was going to win.”
“I was shocked she didn’t win, because I think she would be a good president,” Jill Biden said, adding, “I went to bed” on Election Night and “I just, I couldn’t believe that she had lost.”
Watch:
While Jill Biden spoke adamantly of the couple’s support for Harris, the former vice president allegedly does not feel the same way.
“When Fox News attacked me on everything from my laugh, to my tone of voice, to whom I’d dated in my 20s, or claimed I was a ‘DEI hire,’ the White House rarely pushed back with my actual résumé: two terms elected D.A., top cop in the second-largest department of justice in the United States, senator representing one in eight Americans,” Harris wrote in her book, “107 Days.”
Harris also complained about a pre-debate call she got from Joe Biden, who wanted to ensure she wasn’t badmouthing him to donors.
“My head had to be right. I had to be completely in the game,” Harris wrote in her book. “I just couldn’t understand why he would call me, right now, and make it all about himself.”
She also called Jie Biden’s decision to seek another term “recklessness.”
After the election, Joe Biden raised some eyebrows on social media for being all smiles despite Harris’ loss.
Now, Harris is considered a top contender for the 2028 Democratic nomination.
She became the party’s first nominee in 20 years to lose the popular vote.
Sources told The Post that “people didn’t connect” with Harris.
“She was a s–t candidate and Trump made her look worse than Hillary Clinton,” one source said at the time.
Joe Biden “got pushed out for an empty pantsuit. At least Biden beat Trump and Hillary Clinton had more balls than either of them,” the source added.
Harris and Jill Biden have been at odds dating back to the 2020 Democratic primary campaign.
At that time, Harris attacked Joe Biden over his past opposition to school desegregation busing.
“With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis?” Jill Biden told supporters on a conference call. “Go f–k yourself.”
After Joe Biden secured the Democratic nomination, Jill Biden reportedly came out against choosing Harris as her husband’s running mate.
“There are millions of people in the United States. Why do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?” Jill Biden said.
