“Many people want to spin up a narrative of some big conspiracy at the White House to hide Joe Biden’s infirmity. Here is the truth as I lived it. Joe Biden was a smart guy with long experience and deep conviction, able to discharge the duties of president. On his worst day, he was more deeply knowledgeable, more capable of exercising judgment, and far more compassionate than Donald Trump on his best. But at 81, Joe got tired. That’s when his age showed in physical and verbal stumbles. I don’t think it’s any surprise that the debate debacle happened right after two back-to-back trips to Europe and a flight to the West Coast for a Hollywood fundraiser. I don’t believe it was incapacity. If I believed that, I would have said so. As loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country,” writes former Vice President Kamala Harris in an excerpt of her upcoming campaign memoir “107 Days,” printed by the Atlantic on Wednesday and ohhhhhhh man.
That’s kind of just the tip of the iceberg of the recrimination in the excerpt, which is going to DOMINATE THE CONVERSATION on Politico Playbook and Axios for at least a week or two.
