The Kamala Harris book set to be released next month is already backfiring, as former Biden aides fire back at her claims that the White House deliberately worked to undermine her. In 107 Days, Harris accuses Biden’s team of refusing to defend her record, writing that “it seemed as if [Biden aides] decided I should be knocked down a little bit more.”
But according to more than a dozen former staffers, Harris is scapegoating Biden to excuse her own failed leadership. “Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job,” one former aide told Axios. “She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration’s key work streams, and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops that exposed how out of depth she was.”
Other officials ridiculed her border failures and constant complaints. “On the border stuff in particular, I’d also say if she had spent a fraction of the time and energy doing the work that she did on complaining, about how she was perceived, she would have been perceived a whole lot better,” one aide said.
Even Democratic donors have soured, calling her 2024 campaign “pathetic” and “traumatizing,” after she racked up over $20 million in debt.
As one former Biden official bluntly put it, “No one wants to hear your pity party.”
