Report — Harris Campaign Staffers Confused About Who’s in Charge: ‘Real Lack of Role Clarity’Wendell Husebø 29 Aug 2024
A power struggle continues to boil over from within the Harris campaign, as staffers are confused about who is in charge of the operation, six people involved in the campaign told Axios’s Alex Thompson on Thursday.
The leaks underscore Vice President Kamala Harris’s history of an unprofessional work environment, rife with backstabbing and badmouthing during her tenure as a senator and vice president.
The “internal worries about cohesiveness … with multiple power centers,” is due to the blending of former Biden campaign and Obama campaign officials within the Harris team,” Thompson detailed:
“The entanglement of these different entities has led to many people feeling a real lack of role clarity,” one person involved in the campaign told Axios.
Another person involved with the campaign said there isn’t “as much tension at the very, very top, where the question is more: ‘Who is the first among equals with the vice president?'”
The confusion about who’s in charge is happening more often “two or three rungs down,” this source said.
The leaks are the second batch this week.
Politico Playbook reported on Tuesday that “tensions” were hot over who the decision maker was for Harris’s first media interview. About seven people were vying for influence, according to the leak.
Last week, a damning Politico report described the Harris campaign as rife with “friction,” “internal tensions,” “anxiety,” “raw emotions,” “bad-mouthing,” and “grumbling” that mirrored the dysfunction that plagued Harris’s Senate and vice presidential offices.
