Kamala Harris in trouble, Biden runs for cover: “she is a courageous leader”

A popularity rate of 28 percent, a mission to Paris that has practically gone unnoticed by the national and international press. Vice President Kamala Harris appears increasingly in trouble, also according to CNN’s detailed revelations about the former Democratic senator’s team’s frustration with her role in the White House. So much so that President Joe Biden, who also has to deal with an all-time low popularity, just 41%, ran for cover with a statement of support for the deputy published by spokeswoman Jen Psaki on Twitter. “The vice president is not only a vital partner for Potus but also a courageous leader who has taken the lead on important challenges that our country faces: from the right to vote to the causes of migration and the strengthening of broadband”, reads the message addressed “to all those who need to listen”. Psaki’s tweet, released last night, was relaunched today by other senior White House officials, including chief of staff, Ron Klain, to gauge how alarmed the revelations, also published the night, caused in the West Wing. last on CNN’s website, regarding complaints from Harris loyalists, who claim that Biden’s deputy would not have been put in a position to succeed. of the president, is answered by pointing the finger at the “dysfunctions” of the vice president’s office, which has already lost several collaborators within a few months. “Kamala Harris spent nearly a year taking on all the problems the West Wing didn’t want to take on,” is the accusation of one of the former aides of the first female vice president, and not white, with a particular reference to the fact that Harris runs the thorny dossier of migrants. “Kamala Harri is a leader but she hasn’t been put in a position to lead, and that doesn’t make sense,” echoes a Democratic party funder who recalls how, with a 79-year-old president, one should “look long term”, and put the vice president, who could be the natural candidate in 2024 if Biden does not reapply, “in a position to be successful, instead of overburdening her.” According to CNN, the origin of the problems would be the difficulty that Biden would be encountering in creating a relationship with the Democrat he has chosen as his deputy, after having been one of his opponents in the primary. So much so that one of the wildest rumors circulating in Washington is that Biden could appoint the former prosecutor to the Supreme Court, thus removing her from the White House.
