Biden’s Lack of Enthusiasm for Harris Campaign Sparks Tensions

0:00

A rift has reportedly developed between President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, with tensions escalating over Biden’s willingness to campaign for her ahead of the election. Despite repeated requests from Harris’s team, Biden’s schedule remains empty of any upcoming campaign events with his former running mate.

Sources close to the situation reveal that the Biden White House has been unresponsive to Harris’s requests, responding with vague promises to “get back to her” without providing a clear timeline for their collaboration. The lack of enthusiasm from Biden’s team has led Harris’s team to question the president’s usefulness as a campaign asset.

According to insiders, Harris’s team has begun to view Biden as a liability, with his declining popularity and low approval rating of 39 percent making him a reminder of the past rather than a catalyst for change. The tension between the two camps has been building since Harris took Biden’s place on the Democrat ticket, with some of Biden’s senior staffers being accused of being overly sensitive and resistant to change.

Despite some Biden staffers switching over to Harris’s team, others have faced criticism for their perceived disloyalty. Within Harris’s team, there are also reportedly tensions between long-time loyalists and new arrivals from Biden’s camp, with some feeling that the White House is out of touch with the campaign’s needs.

One Harris campaign staffer spoke anonymously to Axios, expressing frustration with the lack of strategic thinking coming from the White House. “The White House is lacking someone in the room thinking first and foremost about how things would affect the campaign,” the staffer said, highlighting the growing divide between the two teams.
