Going into the holiday weekend, Joe Biden just wants to talk about happy things, man. We’re guessing Kamala Harris is feeling the same way.
After all, she’s had a pretty rough week, thanks to Politico’s report about multiple aides and members of the Biden administration complaining about how much it sucks to work for her. The last thing she needs right now is more bad publicity.
And on that note, here’s Axios to pour some more salt on Harris’ wounds:
NEW: Top White House officials are mobilizing to defend VP Harris amid a gusher of leaks about dysfunction and infighting in her office.
Senior adviser Cedric Richmond tells Axios: "It’s a whisper campaign designed to sabotage her." https://t.co/PSKH9OjbJw

Some White House officials have been frustrated by a series of missteps from Harris and increasingly public bickering in her orbit, which spilled out in a Politico story this week. https://t.co/PSKH9O1ARY

2024 is the elephant in the room. While Biden aides overwhelmingly believe he'll be the Democratic nominee, they also know he'd be 81 when seeking re-election. https://t.co/PSKH9O1ARY

An operation sometimes visibly out of sync with Biden's — and missteps during a recent trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, following a scrutinized interview with NBC's Lester Holt — have reignited questions from Harris' 2020 primary bid. https://t.co/PSKH9O1ARY

Some Democrats close to the White House are increasingly concerned about Harris’s handling of high-profile issues and political tone deafness, and question her ability to maintain the coalition that Biden rode to the White House, sources tell Axios. https://t.co/PSKH9O1ARY

Several administration officials used "shitshow" when describing Harris' office, and contrast her operation with disciplined, virtually leakproof Biden aides. https://t.co/PSKH9O1ARY
— Axios (@axios) July 2, 2021
Some Biden officials view the Harris operation as poorly managed and staffed with people who don't have long-term relationships with her.
They think it's telling that she's already lost two advance aides and a digital director. https://t.co/PSKH9O1ARY

Yikes.

No need for a whisper campaign — she's masterful at sabotaging herself. https://t.co/0YPaYcJrTh

Everyone knows this woman is a disaster. https://t.co/Hqx5AMJJNG

Even the Biden administration, if these reports are to be believed.
Axios: “Many Democrats, including some current senior administration officials, are concerned Kamala Harris couldn't defeat the Republican nominee — even if it were Donald Trump.” https://t.co/Xb5JiAuO56

Well, they’re right to be concerned. Because she absolutely has what it takes to lose to someone like Donald Trump. At this point, she’d lose to pretty much any Republican nominee. Less than six months into her vice presidential term, she’s proven to be an unmitigated disaster.
She might lose worse than Hillary Clinton did. She's that bad, she's that unlikable, she's that incompetent. https://t.co/XNkDPWAvue

She absolutely is worse than Hillary. https://t.co/oyv1lmu6nD

Which strongly suggests to me that she will not win the nomination in 2024 if Biden fails to run. Forget past precedent, she will just be summarily kicked to the curb.

Which is what she deserves, really. Because Kamala Harris is not a good person.
Dems in disarray!!! https://t.co/afPZXZs2B7 pic.twitter.com/qpe963PYp1
