Kamala Harris' staffers leaving White House in part because they fear being labeled 'Harris person': reportMSN, Dec 3, 2021, Fox NewsA new report revealed that departing staffers for Vice President Harris are leaving their White House posts in part due to concerns of being forever labeled a "Harris person."A growing list of Harris staffers are heading out the door amid internal chaos and disastrous poll numbers.The concern of being labeled a "Harris person," as well as burnout and desire for greener pastures, are driving the exodus from the vice president’s office, sources familiar with the chaos in the VP's office told Axios.One anonymous Democratic strategist said that Harris needs "someone loyal, who can think methodically to best position the vice president and to make sure everything she’s doing is being maximized and communicated to a broad population and get her numbers up."A different Democratic operative close to the veep’s office told Axios that the staff departures are lighting a fire under chief of staff Tina Flournoy to keep the sinking ship afloat."If we mess this up, it's going to set women back when it comes to running for higher office for years to come," the operative said.The label of being a "Harris person" apparently carries a weighted stigma with it in Washington — something that does not bode well for the fledgling veep as her first year in office begins to wrap up.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-staffers-leaving-white-house-in-part-because-they-fear-being-labeled-harris-person-report/ar-AARqTzk?ocid=mailsignout&li=BBnb7Kz
