President Joe Biden was forced out of the 2024 presidential election. His disastrous debate against Donald Trump sure didn’t help.
But fury from those close to him within the Democratic Party may have been the straw the broke the proverbial camel’s back with Biden’s exit.
And despite his exit, one of the first people he thanked was his Vide President, Kamala Harris.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV

But as Biden’s presidency comes to an end, is it possible that he’s secretly trying to sabotage Harris and her campaign? Just weeks ahead of the presidential election?
During a press conference Friday, a reporter asked Biden how Harris worked on recent crises in the nation and “what role she has played over the past several days.”
Biden’s response was interesting (to say the least).
“I’m in constant contact with her,” Biden said. “She’s aware… we’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws that are being employed now. She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation in which we were told we could never pass.”
“Her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing,” Biden added.
Even CNN pundit Scott Jennings couldn’t help but think or wonder… is Biden trying to sabotage Harris?
“He is literally trying to destroy her campaign and it’s just incredible,” he wrote:

Social media users were quick to respond to Jennings’ post, one person writing, “I think he wants her to lose.”
“He finally knows exactly what he’s doing,” someone else commented, while another user said, “She’s destroying it all on her own.”
In regard to Biden’s comment about Harris and himself “singing from the same song sheet,” Breitbart News reported on September 10 that Harris’s campaign plagiarized policies from Biden’s campaign website in the weeks after she entered the presidential campaign.
“As Breitbart News noted, Harris finally posted a set of policies on Sunday, after weeks of criticism for not having one on her campaign website. The policies were published just 48 hours before the presidential campaign’s first — and likely only — debate on Tuesday evening on ABC (at 9:00 p.m. ET),” the article read.
According to the Daily Wire, Biden’s appearance at the briefing happened just as Harris was taking the stage at a rally in Detroit, Michigan.
“CNN even noted that it was planning to switch coverage to Harris’ rally right when Biden walked into the press briefing in a move that was ‘clearly overshadowing’ Harris, the network said,” per the outlet.
Biden’s comments also comes in the wake of the wide-spread scrutiny he (and Harris) have received for their lackluster response to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene — particularly in storm-ravaged areas like western North Carolina.
Is this Biden’s final “revenge” for being forced out of the presidential race? It sure does look like he’s putting the ball in Harris’ court.
