Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have never had a good relationship.
In fact, Joe never wanted to choose her as his vice president to begin with. He was strongly in favor of picking Gretchen Whitmer over her, but his advisers implored him that selecting an African American woman was a necessity, especially during the year of George Floyd’s death.
Biden’s closest confidant, his wife, Jill, was likewise opposed to selecting Harris. Jill retained hurt feelings over Harris’ attack on Biden over busing at a primary debate in 2019, which she saw as an accusation that Biden is racist.
