Hey there, pals! Let's delve into the iconic Kamala Harris moment that's as American as apple pie and bacon. Remember that breakfast call during a heartwarming family meal? Yeah, she was chatting with her adorable nieces about bacon quantity when her phone rang - Joe Biden on the other end.
This call was a game-changer, especially since Biden was on the verge of announcing his withdrawal just a few months before the Nov. 5 election. "You've gotta be kiddin' me!" Harris exclaimed, her voice brimming with surprise. Biden confirmed his intention, dropping a political bombshell that could've flipped Harris' life upside down.
During an interview with CNN, Harris avoided discussing who made the first move in terms of support or Biden's request for it. Typical evasiveness from Kamala during extended interviews, right? But she did admit, "My initial thoughts weren't about me. They were about him."
Harris has consistently defended Biden, praising his accomplishments and selfless nature. "Joe Biden has lead a government that's achieved remarkable successes," she declared, "He's also a selfless man, putting the American people first, even during his presidency."
As for whether Harris continued frying bacon post-call, the CNN interview didn't spill that juicy detail. But that 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.
Rumors suggest a less-than-stellar performance during a presidential debate against rival Donald Trump in June led to the uproar, eventually resulting in Biden's decision. Meanwhile, Harris gears up for the next big challenge: her debate against former President Trump on September 10th.
For those curious about Harris' political journey, her campaign has faced challenges due to her role as the "border czar" during Biden's presidency. Despite this, she remains a potential candidate for the 2028 Democratic primary, leading internal polls ahead of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Governor Gavin Newsom.
