There are rumblings that President Joe Biden is not happy with the job that his hand-picked vice president is doing and according to a new report that there may be trouble in paradise for Democrats in the upcoming 2024 election, he is unhappy that Kamala Harris hasn’t risen to the occasion that is merited by her powerful position.
According to sources cited by Reuters, Biden is grumbling about Harris’ continued reluctance over not stepping up more and taking things “off of his plate” as the 80-year-old incumbent gears up for his reelection campaign, a grueling process for an octogenarian under even the best of conditions let alone one where he isn’t receiving much help from his top subordinate.
“A point of tension in their relationship is that I don’t think that the president sees her as somebody who takes anything off of his plate,” an unnamed former White House official is quoted, adding that “fear of messing up” has been a contributor to Harris being “late to the game” on issues of importance.
