A new book revealed conflict between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris despite the White House working hard to present a unified front between the president and vice president and their separate teams.
According to the New York Times' Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns' upcoming book "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," Harris and Biden have a "friendly but not close" personal connection.
Book Reveals Tensions After Joe Biden Blasted Kamala Harris
Their weekly lunches lacked a true depth of personal and political closeness, according to the author. Throughout the first year, Kamala Harris' associates protested to the book that she was given an impossible portfolio.
When Joe Biden's communications director Kate Bedingfield got tired of the allegations that the White House was mismanaging Harris, she blamed the vice president, according to the book. After Harris' trip to Guatemala to address immigration in June of last year, accusations of dysfunction in her office were leaked, as per GG2.net.
According to the book, Biden summoned top officials to the Oval Office and warned them against "stirring up unfavorable tales about the vice president." According to Martin and Burns' book, Harris' popularity ratings were even worse than Biden's, and other Democrats were already planning to run in 2024 if the president declined.
Kamala Harris informed White House officials that she did not want to be limited to a few topics that were mostly associated with women and African-Black Americans. According to the book, when the campaign to strengthen federal voting rights stagnated in Congress, leaving the White House (and Harris) with few alternatives, she laid part of the responsibility at Biden's feet.
Jill Biden Was Upset About Kamala Harris as Joe Biden' Running Mate
Meanwhile, First Lady Jill Biden was not pleased with Harris as a potential VP candidate after she criticized Biden during the campaign, according to the book.
President Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate and went on to win the 2020 presidential elections, making Harris Vice President of the United States. According to the new book, Jill Biden was dissatisfied with President Biden's choice of Harris as his running mate. On the 46th President's election and first year, the First Lady had an outburst at a 2019 debate in which Kamala Harris squared off against Joe Biden in the Democratic primary, Republic World reported.
Jill Biden was enraged by Joe Biden's choice to run for president alongside sitting Vice President Kamala Harris. The book gives insight on Biden's victory in the presidential race. The book will be released on May 3.
Jill Biden's remark in the book is based on a debate between Harris and Biden in 2019. During the discussion, Harris went after the current President, chastising him for the manner he represented his previous working relationships with two segregationist lawmakers.
During his time as a senator in the 1970s, she accused Joe Biden of being a racist for opposing bussing, a method of racially integrating public schools. The claim made by Kamala Harris is said to have hurt Joe Biden.
According to Daily Mail, many feel that this schism will ruin Democrat prospects in the upcoming election, returning Donald Trump to the White House. While Biden's approval ratings fell to a new low of 40% this week, continuing a slide that began with the botched US withdrawal from Afghanistan and rising COVID-19 deaths last August, Harris' approval ratings have already dropped to 28%, making her the least popular vice president in more than 50 years.
It was before she burst out laughing when addressing a question on the fate of Ukrainian migrants at a news appearance in Poland earlier this month. Donald Trump's little hands must be rubbing together with delight. Regardless of how many Americans fear his gaining a second term (which he has stated he intends to do), his aspirations might come true if the opposition can't square their ship and find a competitive opponent for 2024.
