Fox Hosts Laugh Out Loud at Kamala Harris Book Excerpt Describing ‘Problem’ of Being ‘More Popular’ Than Biden

Fox News hosts Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade had a ball reading from former Vice President Kamala Harris’s new book in which she claims it was a problem that she was becoming “more popular” than former President Joe Biden.

On Wednesday’s edition of Fox & Friends, Jones, Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt ran through new excerpts from Harris’s book in which she blasted Biden’s “ego” and “recklessness,” claiming those kept him in the 2024 presidential race too long.

In one excerpt from the book, Harris blamed Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump in June 2024 on excessive travel.

“I don’t believe it was incapacity,” the former vice president wrote. “If I believed that, I would have said so. As loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country.”

Jones argued the statement should disqualify Harris from ever running for office again.

“That statement is a disqualifier from ever running for office again. It’s bold-faced lie. Everybody knows the president’s infirmities were a big problem and she saw it every single day. She had a weekly lunch with him. And to still double-down after voters rejected them, and even her party disapproval of them, shows a lot,” Jones said.

Kilmeade then brought up another excerpt from the book, getting an audible laugh from Jones and cracking himself up as he roasted Harris for claiming a problem during 2024 was her getting “more popular” than Biden.

“Also, she goes on to say the big problem was she was getting popular. I mean, this is unbelievable. Woe is me,” Kilmeade said.

“HA!” Jones let out as Kilmeade continued.

“I was getting more popular and people around him didn’t like it,” Kilmeade said.

“When polls indicated that I was getting more popular, the people around him didn’t like the contrast that was emerging,” Harris wrote. “None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well. That given the concerns about his age, my visible success as his vice president was vital.”

Polling from late 2024 and early 2025 does show Harris usually hitting better favorable ratings in polls compared to Biden. A Gallup poll from October 2024 showed Harris with a 45% approval rating compared to Biden’s 39%.

Kilmeade continued on Wednesday by sharing a portion where Harris wrote she was “castigated” for delivering a speech in Selma, Alabama too well.

“‘I was castigated for delivering the speech too well.’ Sorry for being too great!” Kilmeade said. “And she said, I was first vice president to have their own press pool following them around looking for stories. I’m sure no press following around Al Gore or Dick Cheney.”

The hosts were surprised to hear Harris’s blunt critiques of Biden and his team. Jones called it “shocking,” while Earhardt argued Harris should have remained loyal to her former boss.

“She never would have been vice president unless Joe Biden picked her,” she said. “So she should be loyal to him, it should be his decision if he’s going to run again, or his staff should have approached him. But she should always be loyal to him and not consider that, in retrospect, recklessness on her part.”
