In a stunning revelation, former Vice President Kamala Harris described what she called an “unbelievable” phone call from Joe Biden before her high-stakes debate with President Trump — a call that left her “angry and deeply disappointed.”
Harris shared the story during an interview with British entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, recalling how she expected a call of encouragement — but instead, Biden allegedly used the moment to air personal grievances.
“I’m in the hotel room with Doug, my husband, and the President calls,” Harris said. “I was told he wanted to call me so that I’d be ready, and I was so sure it was to buck me up and say, ‘Go get him!’”
But the call didn’t go as she expected.
“He did say that for the first beat,” Harris explained, “and then he went on to talk about a group of people in Pennsylvania who were saying bad things about me because they heard I was saying bad things about him. And when I hung up the phone, I was just… it was unbelievable. I was angry and deeply disappointed.”
The former vice president said she couldn’t believe the timing — just hours before her debate with Donald Trump, a moment of enormous political pressure and significance.
“It just was so unnecessary,” Harris said. “There are only two people in the world other than me who have debated this guy — Hillary Clinton and him. And you know what it’s like, going into a debate with the stakes being that high. Trump hadn’t agreed to another debate. The stakes were huge.”
Podcast host Steven Bartlett reflected on the story, saying the call would have immediately raised red flags about Biden’s intentions.
“If someone called me in the lead-up to debate prep and said something like that to me, I would assume they don’t want the best for me,” Bartlett said.
Harris agreed, saying the moment revealed Biden’s self-centered mindset:
“My takeaway is his motivation was all about himself.”
Bartlett replied, “That’s exactly what I would assume,” to which Harris nodded:
“Yeah, right. Obviously. It wasn’t about my performance at the debate.”
The exchange has reignited conversation about the fractured relationship between Harris and Biden, which insiders say deteriorated long before she joined the ticket.
While Harris did not elaborate on her current relationship with Biden, her candid remarks suggest lingering tension between the two — and confirm what many have long suspected behind the scenes: that the Biden-Harris partnership was a marriage of political convenience, not mutual respect.
