As President Joe Biden will give his farewell address today at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago passing the baton to Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee for the November election, he is relieved and nostalgic but at the same time stunned and pissed about the way he was pushed out of the race, Axios reported citing Biden’s aides.
The report said Biden’s close friend Mike Barnicle, a regular at NBC’s Morning Joe, had an encounter with former aide of Obama.”Isn’t it great that f–king guy finally figured out he had to quit?” the ex-Obama aide said. Barnicle did not follow and asked, “What guy?!’ After learning that it was Joe Biden the ex-Obama aide was talking about, Barnicle said, “You know something? F***k you! And f***k all your friends with their anonymous quotes in the papers. Put your name on it next time!”
The Axios account, reported by Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei, said Biden laughed after he listened to the story.
Joe and Jill Biden won’t wait for Kamala’s speech
Kamala Harris will give her headline speech on Thursday but Joe and Jill Biden will not be waiting for her big night as they will head off to a six-day holiday in California immediately after their speeches tonight.
Before the president walks across the stage at the United Center to deliver the keynote speech on the convention’s opening night, the first lady will use her address to speak to his character and reiterate her support for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a person familiar with the first lady’s remarks. Jill Biden will urge Americans to unite with “faith in each other, hope for a brighter future, and love for our country,” said the person, quoting from the first lady’s prepared remarks.
Jill Biden was with her husband through it all and now both are figuring out what they want to accomplish in the time they have left in the White House.
