Kamala Harris reveals 'X-rated jibe' she had prepared for Donald Trump in their debate

Kamala Harris revealed she was set to ask Donald Trump about using viagra as she prepared for a back-and-forth on abortion at her lone debate with Donald Trump.

It’s the latest detail to unfurl from the 60-year-old former vice president’s political memoir, 107 Days.

Harris wrote that as she anticipated coming face-to-face with Trump at their debate in September 2024, her prep team asked her to train for ‘the painful matter of imagining what kinds of personal attacks Trump might mount against me.’

She said one advisor proposed: ‘He might ask you if you’ve ever had an abortion.’

Harris writes that she saw multiple paths forward were Trump to ask her that question.

‘If he did, the response would be: That’s none of your business and that’s not what we’re here for,’ she initially wrote.

However, someone else in the prep room suggested a more X-rated jibe, saying ‘that if he got that personal, I should ask if he took Viagra.’

Another advisor wanted her to ask: ‘Had he ever paid for an abortion?’

Harris noted that the topic never came up, claiming it as a victory in her book.

‘In the end, he didn’t go down that track. He probably knew a question like that would be exceedingly thin ice for him—and would infuriate just about every woman in America,’ she wrote.

The revelations from Harris’ tell-all memoir have ranged from burns on Donald Trump, Joe Biden and the Democratic Party to downplaying of her landslide loss in November.

She revealed she regretted not pushing then-President Biden to abandon his 2024 campaign sooner, but acknowledged doing so would have come off as ‘incredibly self-serving.’

The revelation appears in her new book 107 Days, which goes on sale on September 23.

An extract from the book has appeared in the The Atlantic.

‘During all those months of growing panic, should I have told Joe to consider not running? Perhaps,’ Harris admits. ‘Of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run. He would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as poisonous disloyalty’

Harris revealed that going into the 2024 campaign, she automatically followed the ‘mantra’ set by the White House that it was Biden’s decision to make with his family if he wanted to run for reelection.

‘Was it grace, or was it recklessness?’ Harris asked. ‘In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.’

Harris revealed she faced the dilemma that any attempt to suggest that Biden should not run for office would be viewed as ‘incredibly self-serving’ even if her message was simply ‘don’t let the other guy win.’

The former vice president also revealed a list of grievances with Biden and his staff.

Harris also claimed that Jill Biden confronted her husband over their loyalty to Biden’s failed 2024 presidential bid just weeks before he pulled out of the election.

She detailed the cold encounter Doug Emhoff, 60, had with the then-First Lady while celebrating the Fourth of July at the White House, just weeks before Biden, 82, dropped out of the race on July 21 of last year.

Jill, 70, had pulled Emhoff aside to the White House’s Blue Room to speak to him in private.

She seemed ‘tense, even angry,’ Harris wrote. ‘What’s going on?’ Jill allegedly asked. ‘Are you supporting us?’

In shock at the insinuation that he and Harris had been anything but loyal to the Bidens, he immediately said, ‘Of course we are supporting you,’ the memoir reads.

‘Okay. That’s really important. We need to know that,’ Jill snapped back.

When they returned from the awkward exchange, Harris noted that her husband seemed upset. He later told his wife he was frustrated that Jill doubted them.

Harris is currently on a book tour that launched on September 24th in New York City, the day after her book was released.

Tickets for Harris’ book parties – billed as a candid and personal recounting of 2024 – range from $75 over $331.

‘Over the next few months, I will travel our country to share behind-the-scenes moments, lessons learned, and how we keep moving forward together,’ the former vice-president said in the announcement.

The list of cities reads more like a pop star’s tour schedule than like that of a political power player mulling a future presidential run, with notable ‘Blue Wall’ states of Michigan and Wisconsin left off the list.

Other presidential swing states of Nevada and Arizona are also nowhere to be found. Out of the seven 2024 swing states, Harris is only hitting three.

Harris is attempting to revitalize her public image after a devastating loss in the presidential race last year to Donald Trump. Trump won every swing state and beat Harris with a total of 312 electoral votes to 226.
