Ex-Biden officials have savaged Kamala Harris’s scathing takedown of the former president’s “ego”-driven decision to run in 2024 and her claims that the White House actively worked to undermine her vice presidency.

The political firestorm comes after the release of excerpts from her forthcoming memoir, 107 Days, published in The Atlantic on Wednesday.

The passages expose the simmering tensions long denied by both camps as the former vice president accused former President Joe Biden’s inner circle of deciding she “should be knocked down a little bit” and fed stories to the right-wing press about her.

Speaking to Axios reporter Alex Thompson, several aides who served on the administration outright rejected Harris’s claims and brutally hit back at her lack of political acumen.

“Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job,” said one former Biden official told the outlet, adding that Biden is “not the reason she struggled in office or tanked her 2019 campaign. Or lost the 2024 campaign, for that matter.”

Another longtime aide dismissed her account as “an attempt at political absolution.”

“I’m not sure the very robust defense of not having the courage to speak up in the moment about Biden running is quite as persuasive as she thinks it is,” they said, adding sarcastically: “Lots of luck in your senior year.”

When talk turned to Harris’s future ambitions, one former Biden aide scoffed at the idea of a 2028 run, replying: “We’re not going back!” – a pointed twist on a slogan Harris herself used on the 2024 campaign trail.

Not all Biden alumni joined the pile-on, one told Axios: “We all know that the Biden folks treated her and her team like sh*t. We never thought she would actually say anything. The staffers across a range of ages and positions that I’m talking to are proud of her.”

Harris’s book 107 Days is out September 23.
