Does Jill Biden HATE Kamala Harris? White House expert tells Megyn Kelly that FLOTUS was ‘furious’ at VP for calling her husband ‘racist’ during 2020 debates
A White House expert has told Megyn Kelly that First Lady Jill Biden was “furious” after Vice President Kamala Harris confronted her husband over racial issues.
Former White House correspondent Charlie Spiering spoke about the relationship between the VP and the First Lady on Thursday evening’s episode of Kelly’s SiriusX show of the same name.
The two discussed how during the 2020 debates, Harris lectured the president about being bused to school, which seemingly confused Biden.
According to Spiering, this left the president and first lady feeling personally hurt, with Jill Biden especially angry behind the scenes.
Spiering told Kelly, “Kamala was friends with Beau Biden. She was in a relationship, she went to his funeral, and Beau Biden was a really important part of her relationship with Jill Biden.”

He continued, “Definitely, she used that to her advantage. And the fact that she turned against him somewhat hurt the president personally, but especially Jill Biden.
“And she wasn’t happy about it and certainly behind the scenes, every friend of Beau, every member of the family was furious with Kamala for launching this clearly calculated attack on Biden, and the reaction was very fierce.”
Spiering continued, “When they were first inaugurated and when they first won the election, they did these interviews with people like CNN and Jake Tapper.
“They were really trying to sell this version of how close they were, how personally close they were, how they were going to work together as real partners in the White House. But wow, what a change when they arrived at the White House.
“It seemed like Biden’s top advisers didn’t necessarily want anything to do with her. Biden barely had lunch with her at first, and as things got more contentious, they certainly had fewer and fewer lunches.
“And Kamala has kind of been pushed aside and filled these boxes for Biden when he needed her, but she certainly wasn’t a real partner like they promised.”
In 2021, author Edward-Isaac Divere’s book “Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaigns to Defeat Trump” claimed that Jill Biden roped in Harris during a conference call with supporters following her comments on mandatory busing.
According to Politics, the first lady said, “With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he is committed to, you stand up there and call him a baseless racist? Go fuck yourself.”

The first lady notably did not deny making the comment, telling DailyMail.com: “That was two years ago. We’ve gotten rid of that.’
During the debate, Harris, a half-Indian, half-Jamaican daughter of immigrants, said confronted Biden with his stance in the 1970s against encouraging racial integration in schools.
During that decade, then-Senator Biden worked with the two segregationists to try to prevent federal imposition of the policy.
“That little girl was me,” she told him. Her attack increased her national profile, her fundraising and her standing in the polls.
After the tense back-and-forth — one of the most memorable interactions on the 2020 campaign trail — the moderators stopped for a commercial break.
“Well, that was some f**king bulls**t,” Biden said to Pete Buttigieg onstage during the break, which several people said was passed on to them afterward.
Biden barely knew Buttigieg, then a fellow Democratic candidate and now the president’s transportation secretary, but wanted to share the moment with someone on stage.
