Jill Biden's anger at Harris detailed in new book: 'Do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?'
Joe Biden reportedly thought Harris' past romantic relationship with a mentor should be something 'off limits'

First lady Jill Biden expressed frustration that Kamala Harris was the top choice for vice president, according to an upcoming book from two New York Times reporters.

An excerpt provided to Fox News from Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns' forthcoming book, "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," describes the vice presidential nomination process during Joe Biden's 2020 campaign.

"'There are millions of people in the United States,' she began. ‘Why,’ she asked, ‘do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe,'" the authors wrote of a conversation Jill Biden had after she learned Harris became a leading candidate to serve as Biden's running mate.

Several from Biden's inner circle, however, supported Harris on the ticket. Ron Klain, now the White House chief of staff, had been tasked with vetting vice presidential candidates and, according to the book, told Biden early on that Harris was most qualified for the job as she had sought the presidency herself.

"Yes, Harris had attacked Biden more harshly than any other major candidate in the Democratic primaries. Yes, the Biden family had seen it as a smear and a betrayal. In Klain's assessment, that would work to Biden's advantage," the book states. "Choosing Harris will show people that you are magnanimous and forgiving, Klain told Biden. It will show the country just what a unifying leader you can be."

The book also highlights Biden's own reservations to select Harris as a running mate. Noting her "past romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor who had appointed Harris to a pair of minor political positions," the book said Biden described the behavior "as the kind of thing that should be off limits."

Jill was correct in an objective universe. However, the DNC operatives knew even back then that Joe desperately needed 'impeachment insurance'. Therefore they picked the most stupid, least qualified, least popular, pick in the group, which was obviously Kamala.

..and Kamel's husband and the company that he worked for contributed to Bammy's re-election campaign.

Jill doesn't seem to understand that they needed someone as equally incompetent as her husband.

Harris Was Infuriated that Biden’s Staff Would Not Stand When She Entered Room

Vice President Kamala Harris feels disrespected by the White House staff, according the a jaw-dropping book, “This Will Not Pass.”

The book was written by New York Times journalist Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.

“Harris worried that Biden’s staff looked down on her,” Meet the Press host Chuck Todd said as he read from the book. “She fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways the West Wing found tedious. When Harris walked into a room the White House staff did not stand up the way they did for Biden. The vice president took it as a sign of disrespect.”  ...

They wouldn't be looking down on you if you weren't on your knees, Kammie.

And her husband's response was . . . oh wait.  Her husband didn't get to choose.  Someone else chose for him.
