Hey there, folks! Let's dive into Kamala Harris' memorable encounter with Joe Biden that feels as American as apple pie. You know, the one where she got the call during a heartwarming family breakfast filled with bacon and pancakes.
So, Harris was chatting with her cute little nieces, discussing the finer points of bacon quantity, when her phone rang. She picked it up, only to discover it was Joe Biden on the other end. Now, imagine conversations don't get much more game-changing than that, especially considering Biden was on the verge of dropping a political bombshell just a few months before the Nov. 5 election.
"Are you serious?" Harris exclaimed, her voice filled with surprise. The former President confirmed his intention to withdraw, announcing a sudden twist that could've rearranged the presidential race and flipped Harris' life upside down.
According to a CNN interview, Harris danced around questions about who made the first move when it came to her support or Biden asking for it. A characteristic evasiveness that Kamala is well-known for during extended interviews. But she did admit, "My initial thought wasn't about me. It was about him."
Harris has time and again defended her former President, lauding his achievements and selfless nature. "Joe Biden has led a government that has achieved remarkable successes," she stated, "He's also a selfless man, putting the American people first, even in his presidency."
As for whether Harris kept frying bacon post-call, the CNN interview didn't provide that exciting detail. However, the interview marked a significant moment in Harris' American journey, especially since Biden, under serious scrutiny regarding his age and health, decided to step down in early July.
Sources tell us that a poor presidential debate performance against rival Donald Trump in June led to the uproar, eventually resulting in Biden's decision to withdraw. Meanwhile, Harris prepares for her next milestone: her debate against former President Trump on September 10th.
Oh, and for those who are curious, during her campaign, Harris has often discussed the impact Biden's support had on her presidential aspirations.
