"Kamala Harris has revealed she was left angry and disappointed when Joe Biden called her hours before her US presidential debate with Donald Trump to suggest powerful associates of Biden's brother refused to support her. The former vice-president and Democratic nominee recounts the episode and other criticisms of Biden in her campaign memoir 107 Days, obtained by the Guardian before its publication next week."
"But he was not done with the call. He sought to rewrite the history of his own disastrous debate performance against Trump three months earlier. Joe then rattled on about his own former debate performances. I beat him the other time; I wasn't feeling well in that last one.' He continued to insist that his debate performance hadn't hurt him much with the electorate. I was barely listening."
Kamala Harris was in a Philadelphia hotel room hours before a pivotal debate with Donald Trump when Joe Biden phoned to wish her luck and asked if she would return to Philadelphia before the election. Biden told her that his brother had spoken to influential Philadelphia power brokers who reportedly would not support Harris because she had criticized his brother. Biden offered names and suggested Harris's team might be creating distance between them; Harris did not recognize the names and asked Biden to connect the group with her. Biden then discussed his own past debate performances, which Harris found distracting and upsetting.
