A new report confirms that Dr. Jill Biden’s feud with Vice President Kamala Harris has continued through the post-election period.
The Wall Street Journal chronicled the final months of the Biden presidency in a story Monday, with White House aides describing the general vibe at the White House as ‘depressing’ and ‘draining.’
And the misery extends to the top.
Since Harris’ November 5th election loss, the relationship between President Joe Biden and Dr. Biden and Harris and her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, ‘has at times been frosty,’ the paper said, ‘in private settings.’
Sources pointed out that Dr. Biden has long disliked Harris due to her ravaging Biden on the debate stage back in June of 2019 – during the first Democratic debate of the 2020 cycle.
Harris’ memorable debate performance was attributed to her hammering Biden for being against busing policies that helped desegregate schools.
The ire between the two women has also spilled out into plain sight.
During the president and vice president’s first public appearance after the Democrats handed the White House back to President-elect Donald Trump, Dr. Biden sat stone-faced next to Harris and Emhoff.

THE ORIGINAL SIN: The feud is now five and a half years old, with Dr. Biden disliking how then Sen. Kamala Harris (right) went after former Vice President Joe Biden (left) over the issue of busing on June 27, 2019 – the first 2020 Democratic primary debate
The event was the traditional Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, which put the first and second couples together just six days after Harris’ loss.
On Election Day, Dr. Biden sported a red pantsuit – the traditional color for Republicans – which led to speculation from the MAGA crowd that she didn’t really want Harris to win.
One Fox News host, Emily Compagno, even went as far to suggest that the first lady voted for Trump due to the hue of her outfit.
That is extremely unlikely – but it was still interpreted as shade.
Earlier this month at the Kennedy Center Honors, those watching the presidential box noticed that neither Biden acknowledged Harris or Emhoff when the crowd stood to welcome them to the Kennedy Center.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates pushed back to the Journal and denied any chill in the relationship between the president and vice president, while Harris’ spokesperson Kirsten Allen said Biden and Haris ‘have a close working relationship and have developed a friendship that extends to both of their spouses.’
Sources told DailyMail.com earlier this month that the first lady is vengeful over what happened to her husband.
After his disastrous June 27 debate against Trump, top party leaders pressured 82-year-old Biden to bow out.
He did so on July 21 – endorsing Harris a few hours later.
THROWING SHADE? Jill Biden wore a red pantsuit on Election Day – a color typically reserved for Republicans. The bold choice prompted a Fox News host to suggest that she voted for President-elect Donald Trump over her husband’s replacement, Vice President Kamala Harris
‘Jill views Democrats on Capitol Hill, the [wider] party, the Obamas, staff inside and outside the White House, the media, and all of Washington, D.C. with such misguided resentment that I can’t imagine she [isn’t] encouraging [Joe] to burn the whole thing down, despite his better judgment,’ one insider said.
And Biden’s inner thoughts about the race are now spilling out.
The Washington Post and then the Journal reported that behind closed doors Biden is telling people that he believes he could have won had he stayed in.
The president isn’t criticizing the Harris campaign’s effort, the reports said, but rather has been pointing out that he beat Trump once before.
The political climate was vastly different in 2020, with Trump’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic front-and-center.
Four years later, American voters remembered the 2019 Trump economy fondly, while incumbents around the globe were being voted out of power due to economies still sagging thanks to the pandemic.
