First Lady Jill Biden reportedly trashed Kamala Harris after she attacked her husband during the 2020 Democrat presidential primary debates.
Jill Biden apparently told a group of the president’s supporters that Harris could “go f–k” herself.
It came after Harris insinuated that Joe Biden was racist during the 2020 primary debate, The Inquisitr reported.
After Harris replaced President Biden on the 2024 ticket and then lost the election, their mutual disdain is out in the open.
In June 2019, when the Democratic field was still anybody’s to win, Harris pulled out her story about desegregation.
Harris, who was failing miserably in the primary, used the story to blame Biden for opposing it at the time.
She blasted Biden for working with politicians with spotty records on racial justice and confronted him about the busing.
“It was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day,” Harris famously claimed.
“That little girl was me.
“So I will tell you that on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats.”
At the time, this landed quite a blow against Joe Biden, and his wife was not about to let it go.
When Harris made this remark, it was the only point in her campaign that she was noticed.
Her campaign was leaning into Biden’s tough stance on criminal justice, and it was working.
However, it didn’t little to rescue her doomed 2020 presidential campaign and she dropped out of the race not long after.
This was before the George Floyd riots, but the tide was already turning away from the conventional approach to these issues.
Harris’ comment was precisely the kind of thing that would hurt a longtime politician like Joe Biden.
However, Jill Biden was outraged that Harris attacked her husband in an effort to save her sinking campaign.
During a phone call to supporters shortly after this exchange, Jill Biden said of Harris:
“With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to, you get up there and call him a racist without basis? Go f–k yourself.”
Perhaps the reason Jill Biden was particularly upset by this comment was because it was so effective.
The New York Times reported that Joe Biden’s poll numbers “generally slipped while support for Ms. Harris increased” after the debate exchange.
Harris also capitalized on the exchange to fundraise.
Joe Biden would eventually admit that Harris’ question took him by surprise and he apologized for his previous cooperation with segregationists.
Despite nearly four years of coexisting around the president, it doesn’t seem Harris and Jill Biden have improved their relationship.
If anything, Harris’s crushing loss to President Donald Trump has allowed both women to drop any pretense of mutual respect.
Not long after that disastrous Election Day, Harris and Jill Biden appeared at the same event but made no effort to interact, even for optics.
Conservative commentator Steve Cortes picked up on this iciness and shared the clip on X, last month.
“It’s safe to say that Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris’s guts,” Cortes captioned the brief clip.
It’s undeniable that there is palpable tension between the two when watching it.

While Harris’s attack was not enough to dave her presidential campaign, it was possibly the reason Joe Biden picked her as his running mate.
However, Jill Biden apparently sees this as more than political and always has.
