CNN’s Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book has revealed that former vice president Kamala Harris was angry over Joe Biden wearing a Trump 2024 hat during a September 11th memorial event.
After seeing Biden’s actions turn into a viral video, Kamala Harris asked staffers, “What is he doing?”
She added, “This is completely unhelpful. And so unnecessary.”
Tapper reported that this was the final straw for Harris, who stated she would not do a public event with Biden again.
Here’s a flashback of the video:

Check out what Fox News reported:
Former Vice President Kamala Harris was angry over former President Biden donning a Trump 2024 hat during an event in September 2024, which quickly went viral on social media at the time, according to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book.
“What is he doing?” the former vice president asked her team in response to the video, according to the book. “This is completely unhelpful. And so unnecessary.”
A video of the former president donning a Trump 2024 hat went viral in September 2024. A video of Biden at the Shanksville Fire Station in Pennsylvania showed the president taking the Trump 2024 campaign hat from a Trump supporter and putting it on top of his own hat, in what the White House said at the time was a friendly gesture of unity.
According to the book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” that was the last time Harris would do a public event with Biden prior to the election.
“But it was not the last time that Biden did something unhelpful,” the authors wrote.
The former president also called Trump supporters “garbage” during a campaign call for Harris.
ADVERTISEMENT“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.
