Biden allies threaten Kamala Harris: Reports indicate that tensions are rising between former President Joe Biden's close circle and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Insiders say that if Harris talks about Biden's cognitive issues, stories that hurt her own image may come out in response.

Mark Halperin, a journalist, says that Biden's friends are ready to leak embarrassing stories about Kamala Harris's time as vice president if she criticizes Joe Biden's cognitive decline. The warning comes as Harris comes back into the public eye to promote her 2024 campaign memoir, which raises more questions about both her and Biden's political futures.

Why are Joe Biden’s allies issuing warnings to Kamala Harris?



On Friday's episode of his show The Morning Meeting, veteran political reporter Mark Halperin broke the news. He started by saying, "I'll tell you, and this has never been reported, barely at all.” “If the Biden people decide that Kamala is coming after Joe Biden, wait till you hear the Palinesque stories about how much they tried to help her be prepared to be vice president and be in a position to run. And how much they decided, ‘Not happening. She’s not up to this,” as quoted in a report by the Daily Beast.

What are the alleged stories about Harris?


During her media tour to promote her new book, 107 Days, which chronicles the 2024 campaign, Halperin stated that the stories about Harris would only be made public if she turned on Biden.

"It’s not like they’re at war currently, but I’m telling you, if Joe Biden feels threatened, if his people feel threatened by her, this is gonna escalate in a big way," Halperin stated, as per a report by the Daily Beast.

According to Halperin, Biden's team went above and beyond to assist her in carrying out her duties as vice president. They gave her every chance and discovered that she had some problems in certain cases. Since Donald Trump defeated Harris in November of 2024, Harris has avoided the limelight. Biden's withdrawal as the Democratic nominee shortened her campaign timeline, which is referenced in the book's title.

This week, Harris declared she would not run for governor of California in 2026, but the development has raised questions about her political future.

Joe Biden, who left the 2024 contest after a dismal debate performance against Trump, has been held accountable by some Democrats for giving Harris so little time to run a strong campaign.

How does this tie into Biden’s rumored decline?


The feud gains further complexity as rumors about President Biden’s cognitive health continue to swirl.

There have also been allegations that Biden experienced cognitive decline while in office, which his inner circle of family members and aides covered up. Biden's aides considered getting him a wheelchair, and he couldn't recognize actor George Clooney, according to the embarrassing revelations in the book Original Sin, written by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson and published in May.

The Republican-led congressional probe into whether Biden made decisions during his presidency is currently underway. Biden has insisted adamantly that he made the decisions, as per a report.

Sarah Palin, a former governor of Alaska, was late senator John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential campaign. Following McCain's defeat by Barack Obama, Palin was inundated with allegations that she was unsuited to serve as vice president, including that she was unaware that Africa was a continent. These claims came from within her own campaign.
