Former US Vice-President Kamala Harris has delivered her sharpest criticism yet of her former boss, calling Joe Biden's decision to seek a second term "recklessness" in an excerpt from her forthcoming memoir.
"'It's Joe and Jill's decision.' We all said that, like a mantra, as if we'd all been hypnotized," Harris writes in her book. "Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness."
In an extract for her book 107 Days, published by The Atlantic on Wednesday, Harris also describes moments where she felt sidelined or denied credit for her work by Biden's team.
The BBC has contacted Biden's office for comment.
Harris wrote that as vice-president she was in the "worst position" to tell Biden not to run for president again.
