Political analyst Mark Halperin revealed last week that former President Joe Biden’s team is prepared to release unflattering stories about their efforts to prepare former Vice President Kamala Harris for a potential run if she comes after him in her new book.
Harris announced the release of her upcoming book "107 Days," documenting her short-lived presidential run, just a week after Biden reportedly signed a $10 million deal with the Hachette Book Group for his upcoming presidential memoir.
While speaking on 2Way’s "The Morning Meeting" with Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine, Halperin dismissed the notion that they discussed these books with each other, adding that the Biden team is ready to push back if they feel threatened.
"If the Biden people decide that Kamala Harris is coming after Joe Biden, wait until you hear the Palin-esque stories about how much they tried to help her be prepared to be vice president and be in a position to run, and how they decided, ‘not happening. She’s not up to this,’" Halperin said. "And if the Biden people feel threatened, you will hear stories about Kamala Harris as vice president that will not make her look good."
Halperin’s "Palin-esque" comment refers to revelations from 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain’s 2018 memoir, which revealed he regretted picking former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Halperin later elaborated on his own show on Tuesday about how the Biden administration attempted to prepare Harris for a potential presidential run but found she wasn’t "ready for prime time."
