Jill Biden And Kamala Harris Seemingly Confirm Feud Rumors In Icy Video
During a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on November 11, Joe Biden gave one of his final speeches as president. It was a moving moment, however, it was overcast by the irate iciness between First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. In a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, the first lady steeled her jaw, kept her sunglasses on, and stared straight ahead during the remarks given by President Biden — seeming to ignore Harris, who was sitting right next to her. This led to rumors spilling over onto social media that Jill has held a grudge against Harris for a while now.

These assumptions were only compounded by the fact that Jill warmly greeted Doug Emhoff, Harris' husband. The two were seen leaning into each other and gabbing away as they waited for the speeches to begin. But as soon as Harris came to take her seat between them, Jill simply stared forward, icing the vice president out. This wouldn't be the first time Jill has done something shady, especially in regards to how she might really feel toward Harris. Here's a brief history of the feud between Harris and Jill, and why Jill just can't seem to let it go.
The history of the feud between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris
The rupture between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris reportedly began back in 2019, when Harris was running for president, campaigning against Joe Biden. In an early debate, Harris pushed back against Joe over his previous track record of supporting segregationist policies. This seems to have ruffled the feathers of Jill, who is ferociously loyal to her husband and family. When it was decided that Joe would drop out of the 2024 presidential race, sources told the Daily Mail that Jill was upset about the push for him to step aside. But after Joe pivoted to support Harris in her presidential bid, Jill begrudgingly followed suit.
The first lady attended some efforts to encourage people to vote for Harris and was behind several voter registration and early voting campaigns. However, it's possible that Jill's support for Harris really boiled down to the fact that Harris' campaign was seen as an extension of the Biden presidential legacy. Now that Harris has lost the election, it seems all love has been lost between her and Jill. Especially with the message Jill sent with her Election Day outfit.
Veterans Day was the first time President Biden and Vice President Harris appeared together since the election. This layered an incredibly somber tone over an already heavy holiday honoring those lost to war and conflicts. Harris was at Joe's side as he silently laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A silence which followed Harris and Jill for the rest of the ceremony and beyond.
