‘Not a healthy environment’: Kamala Harris’ office rife with dissent
There is dysfunction inside the VP’s office, aides and administration officials say. And it’s emanating from the top.

When Vice President Kamala Harris finally made the decision to visit the Mexico border last week, people inside her own office were blindsided by the news.

For days, aides and outside allies had been calling and texting with each other about the political fallout that a potential trip would entail. But when it became known that she was going to El Paso, it left many scrambling, including officials who were responsible for making travel arrangements and others outside the VP’s office charged with crafting the messaging across the administration.

The handling of the border visit was the latest chaotic moment for a staff that’s quickly become mired in them. Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials. Much of the frustration internally is directed at Tina Flournoy, Harris’ chief of staff, a veteran of Democratic politics who began working for her earlier this year.

In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides and allies said Flournoy, in an apparent effort to protect Harris, has instead created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.

Poor guy doesn't know what to do with himself post "junk filter".

Blather for the set up when she'll be feted and purported as worthy of the Presidency..."She really showed her stuff and perhaps it is a good thing that President Biden has to step aside because of health concerns. Vice President Harris is more than ready to fill his shoes. She'll be a dynamic President and a leader of not only this country, but of the world."

It doesn't matter if she's capable, think of the diversity she brings, the barriers she breaks for others who might follow in her shoes. Isn't that worth it?

I’d bet it’s way more pleasant to work for Trump than Kamala tbh

I wouldn't misderestimate Sleepy Joe's tenacity. If he's still alive, I think Biden will run again.

I was thinking kindly Mike Pence would do a better job of slave labor for the president.
We need people to sacrifice their entire belief system in order to stay loyal to a president testing that loyalty by trying to kill them.
