Just give her a Kall-mala.
Former President Joe Biden sent his former veep’s call to voicemail after she reached out when news broke that he was undergoing radiation, Kamala Harris revealed.
“I called him earlier,” Harris told MSNBC’s “The Weekend” in an interview that aired Sunday. “I have not talked to him. I just left him a message after I heard the news.”
“I have not talked to him. I just left him a message after I heard the news.”
She added: “I think Joe Biden is a fighter, and that is what I told him.
“He’s going to fight this, and we’re going to hold him up and pray for his recovery and for his strength and for his family.”
Last month, Harris’ memoir “107 Days” hit bookshelves, detailing her historically short 2024 campaign for the presidency and unvarnished feelings about Biden. At one point, she ripped his decision to run for reelection as “recklessness.”
She also recounted how he badgered her shortly before her debate against President Trump, accusing her of badmouthing him to donors.
Harris revealed to MSNBC that she has spoken to Biden about her memoir, but didn’t disclose the nature of their conversation.
“I’m not going to tell you,” she said with a grin when asked.
Biden’s office announced Saturday that he is undergoing radiation therapy, which comes on top of the hormone medication pill he had previously been taking. The radiation therapy is expected to last five weeks.
The 46th president is “doing well,” according to his team.
Biden announced in May that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones.
In August, he had skin cancer removed from his forehead and was seen publicly with a large bandage.
The former president has generally kept a low public profile since departing the White House and has largely been mum on the Democratic post-mortems of the 2024 election cycle.
Harris gave no hints about the state of her rapport with Biden in the wake of her book.
Biden had also seemingly clashed with other Democratic bigwigs, such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and others who played a key role in the mutiny that led to him dropping out of the 2024 race.
The former vice president had diligently refrained from criticizing Biden during her brief stint as the Democratic presidential standard-bearer, but has since joined the chorus of Dems bashing his decision to run for reelection.
While promoting her book, Harris has taken repeated digs at Trump’s performance as president. During the sitdown with MSNBC, she appeared to give Trump reluctant praise over the peace agreement he helped broker between Israel and Hamas.
“I don’t think that we should hold in credit where it’s due,” she said. “I really do hope it [the deal] becomes real and that the hostages are out, that Gaza is no longer being treated with such brutality of force that aid goes in.”
“I commend the people who have been a part of this process. I commend the Qataris, the Egyptians and the president.”
