(Breitbart) President Joe Biden told former President Barack Obama that Vice President Kamala Harris is “not as strong as me,” to which Obama agreed, “That is true,” according to a professional lipreader, who deciphered the off-mic conversation at Ethel Kennedy’s Wednesday funeral.
The comments suggest Biden and Obama perhaps have doubts about Harris’s electability with less than three weeks to go until Election Day.
The comments also indicate that Biden hopes Harris beats former President Donald Trump, a point debated among Republicans, who cite instances of Biden undercutting Harris’s campaign narratives as evidence to the contrary.
Jeremy Freeman, a London-based forensic lip reader, translated the conversation for the New York Post, the paper reported:
“It’s important that we have some time together,” Obama said moments earlier, potentially referencing holding an event with Harris.
During the conversation, Biden appeared to irritate Obama, who crossed his arms, did not look Biden in the eye, and had a sour facial expression.
At one point, Obama tried to walk away, but Biden touched his arm and Obama turned to say a few more words.
