Official lunches, state visits, corridors of the White House… Jill Biden et Kamala Harris are brought into contact daily. A good thing for the First lady and the vice-president the United States, who get along wonderfully. But this has not always been the case. In 2019, the future president Joe Biden and Kamala Harris clash violently during a debate of the Democratic primary, the internal election of one of the two main American political parties.
From the start of this debate, Kamala Harris returns to recent remarks by Joe Biden and thelet it be implied that he would be racist. A half-word accusation that does not pass for Jill Biden, the wife of the future American president. “Fuck her!”, she then blurted out in front of an audience of Democratic donors. A direct character and outspokenness that Jill Biden will retain upon entering the White House.

Kamala Harris: Is Joe Biden racist?
In this heated debate in the Democratic primary, Kamala Harris criticized Joe Biden for having honored, in a previous speech, two senators with a sulphurous political past. “It hurts me to hear you praise the reputations of two senators who built reputations and careers on racial segregation in this country”had denounced the future vice-president. “But that’s not all. You also worked with them to oppose the policy of ‘busing'”. In the United States, the ‘busing” designates a policy that aims to promote diversity at school by bringing black and disadvantaged students by bus to establishments in neighborhoods that are overwhelmingly rich and white.
But Kamala Harris did not have not directly accused Joe Biden of being racist. “I don’t think you are racist”, she had also indicated in this same diatribe. Kamala Harris will finally withdraw her candidacy from the Democratic primary on December 3, 2019 and Joe Biden will win the internal election a few months later. He was elected President of the United States on November 3, 2020.
