Kamala Harris told an interviewer that Joe Biden “didn’t want” the June 2024 debate against Donald Trump. She said she sensed something was “a little off” when he called from debate prep. Harris said his reluctance weakened his performance and affected the campaign’s outcome. She admitted she should have spoken up sooner but feared looking self-serving. The remarks appear in her memoir, where she reflects on the race and her former boss. Biden’s team hasn’t publicly responded to her comments.
