NBC’s Jimmy Fallon welcomed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Thursday’s taping of the Tonight Show to promote her new book and essentially rename the show the Kamala Harris Promotion Show.

The usually less political Fallon marveled, “Can we talk about it for a second? Kamala Harris is now the nominee and this is exciting. Were you giving her advice? Were you –”

Clinton interrupted the question to echo Fallon’s sentiment, “Well, first of all, you know, I had to turn the book in. And I turned it in before everything changed. And it was thrilling. President Biden did the right thing. It was an act of patriotism for him to make that decision. And, you know, not a lot of people, and I could name one in particular, would give up power willingly.”

Patriotic or on the losing side of an intraparty power struggle?
