Harris reveals the “red file” emergency plan prepared for the dropout of Biden

The inner circle of vice-president Kamala Harris designed an emergency plan “Red File” in the event of “trauma” arrived at President Joe Biden, revealed the former vice-president in his new memory “107 days”.

While Biden’s campaign argued that he presented himself to his re-election until he suspended his campaign, Harris’ brother-in-law, Tony West, created a succession plan well before the President’s substantial announcement, according to Harris.

“A year earlier, he had started what he called the” red file, “wrote Harris in his book.” With a president in the 80s, he suggested, it would be a professional fault on my part of being not prepared if, God does not please, something should happen. “

West had established a list of the first dozens of calls to world leaders and political leaders, a plan to know when to publish its first declaration and the rules of the transition. The “red file” only increased when the pressure for Biden abandons intensified, said Harris.

In the event of a “such traumatic moment,” said Harris, West explained to him that he would be “prudent to have a plan for the first twenty-four at forty-eight hours, so people do not have to make a lot of decisions in the pressure of a crisis”.

Harris said that she did not want to think of such a reality, although she was the vice-president of a president in the 80s, so she “left her in her hands”.

Because Harris did not want to be involved in such discussions, she said that West had met four members of her basic team during a family weekend.

“Suppose he abandons tomorrow,” said West, according to Harris.

Brian Fallon, Harris’s communications chief, who, according to her, participated in the meeting, said that the abandonment of Biden “was not going to perform” because the president met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that week.

The news announced that Biden abandoned on July 21, 2024, when the Harris team discussed the next National Democratic Convention. His team did not realize when Harris would be the candidate to officially accept the Democratic appointment to the Convention.

When Harris hung up with Biden, West was the first person to whom she spoke.

“If this is not managed, he will connect everywhere in his inheritance,” recalls Harris West told him after watching, shocked and incredulous.

After Biden told his former running mate that he was learning her, Harris said she thanked him and said, “I will be proud.”

“You’re going to do well, kid,” said Harris, “said Biden.

Twenty-two minutes later, Biden announced that he abandoned, said Harris.

“Twenty-seven minutes later, he approved me as president of the Democratic candidate of the United States.”

Although Harris did not want to be involved in “Red File” discussions, the ghost plan of his inner circle allowed the vice-president to quickly launch his 107-day presidential campaign.

West has become one of the “Committee of Harris chosen advisers”, while the campaign launched out in the open air. The committee was involved in critical decisions, such as the choice of the package and the Harris debate.

West is currently the main vice-president, legal director and business secretary in Uber. During the administration of President Barack Obama, he was confirmed twice by the Senate to serve as a senior official, in particular as an associate attorney of the United States.

He met Maya Harris during the law faculty and they got married shortly after graduation, according to Harris’ book.

Harris described it as a “political thinker, working on campaigns since he was a teenager”.

“Doug and I affectionately took him to call him our fifty -year -old teenage son, given how much we like to take care of him when he stays with us,” wrote Harris.

The Biden team refused to comment on the book when reached by Fox News Digital.
