Biden Allegedly Snapped At Kamala Harris So Badly That ‘Even Republican Senators Were Taken Aback’
A new book is claiming that President Joe Biden snapped at his Vice President Kamala Harris so harshly last year that even Republican senators were left feeling uncomfortable by the outburst.
Daily Mail reported that in their book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns wrote that during a meeting in May of last year, Biden tried to convince Republican lawmakers to support $1 trillion in infrastructure spending. Though Biden was prepared to compromise, Harris disagreed, arguing that the bill was too skimpy.
“Harris thought that there was something missing from the conversation,” they wrote. Martin and Burns added that Harris then shifted the discussion toward Democratic priorities, including family and social spending, saying that she “began to make the case for a larger package than the one Republicans seemed to have in mind.”
“Biden dismissed her comment immediately,” the authors wrote, going on to say that his tone was so harsh “that even the Republican senators were taken aback.” Though they said that Biden was typically “‘scrupulously respectful” of Harris, this moment indicated that there may be some trouble brewing beneath the surface of their relationship. – READ MORE
