Newly hired MSNBC host Symone Sanders appeared to take a swipe at a new colleague Wednesday, claiming parts of his book about President Biden’s path to the White House were “not true.”
The former chief spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris made the claim about reporter Jonathan Allen’s book “Lucky” during an appearance on “The Rachel Maddow Show” while reacting to a passage concerning Biden’s campaign promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court.

Biden made the commitment to nominate a Black woman for the Supreme Court while speaking during the February 2020 debate ahead of the South Carolina Democratic primary.
Following the commitment, Biden received House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn’s, D-S.C. endorsement, which helped revive his flailing campaign and ultimately helped secure a win for him in the state. Biden then stormed to a series of Super Tuesday victories and cruised to the nomination.
Biden now has to decide who he will nominate to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, who is expected to formally announce his retirement Thursday.
