Jill Biden has expressed surprise at a remark made by former Vice President Kamala Harris in her memoir, in which Harris suggested that Joe Biden's ego and ambition damaged Democratic prospects in the 2024 election.
In an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the former first lady said: 'I was a little surprised she wrote that.' She added that she had considered the Bidens and Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff to be 'a great team'.
Jill Biden noted that when Joe Biden withdrew from the race, he 'handed over the reins to Kamala' and 'had full confidence in her'. She also confirmed that the two remain on good terms, revealing that Harris had called two days prior to check on Joe Biden's health.
The comments came as Jill Biden promotes her new memoir about the Biden family's years in the White House.
