Kamala Harris Shares Concerns About Biden’s Support

An excerpt from Kamala Harris’s upcoming book, “107 Days,” hints at her frustrations regarding the lack of backing she felt from President Biden. This revelation surfaced on Thursday, igniting discussions among political circles.

According to Axios National Political Correspondent Alex Thompson, aides reacted with “anger” after the excerpt was released, which also covers Harris’s unsuccessful 2024 presidential run. In her writing, she notes that Biden’s team seldom defended her against negative reports, a revelation that many interpreted as a candid and critical reflection on their working relationship.

Mixed Feelings and Criticism

Harris acknowledged Biden’s apparent fatigue and suggested he may be downplaying his own mental decline. She expressed frustration that, despite an extensive communications team, she found it nearly impossible to receive any positive acknowledgment for her work or to counter untrue attacks on her character.

Some aides responded that Harris seemed to be deflecting blame onto Biden instead of reflecting on her own effectiveness in her role. A former official bluntly stated that Harris wasn’t performing well and pointed out that she often sidelined herself from key projects, opting instead for media selfies that didn’t help her public image.

Interestingly, Harris also seemed to admit a certain silence regarding Biden’s reelection efforts, which added to the complexity of the situation. While this was meant to highlight her feelings of neglect, it left some aides frustrated.

Adequate Response or Not?

Other aides voiced skepticism about Harris’s claims, particularly regarding her responsibilities like addressing immigration issues at the border. One aide remarked that a bit more engagement in the roles she critiqued could have improved her public perception significantly.

The Biden team remains poised to respond should Harris continue to challenge their actions, as noted by political commentator Mark Halperin.

Support Amidst Tension

Conversely, not all responses were negative. Some aides still voiced respect for Harris, with former Chief of Staff Ron Crane complimenting her performance as vice president. Others felt relieved that she was finally able to voice her thoughts, reflecting a mix of emotions within the team.

One staff member shared a sentiment that many felt: Biden’s team sometimes underestimated Harris and her contributions, which only fueled the tension surrounding these revelations.

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for both Biden and Harris but did not receive an immediate reply.
