he White House dove into damage control this week after reports of dysfunction and infighting in Vice President Kamala Harris' office, with the administration trying to stop a drama-filled narrative from taking hold, according to five people who spoke to CNN about the dynamics within Harris' office.
Two people close to Harris' team said some individuals inside the vice president's office are frustrated with what they see as a dysfunctional operation that has been at times waylaid by internal conflict. Some of that ire is directed squarely at Harris' chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, those people said. Another source close to the staff said there were "challenges and struggles" and heard complaints about Flournoy from staff, but denied it amounted to dysfunction or that the tensions were directly Flournoy's fault.
Sabrina Singh, deputy press secretary to the vice president, told CNN in a statement that Harris' focus remains on her work.
"The Vice President and her office are focused on the Biden-Harris Administration's agenda to build an economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down, to making sure racial equity is at the core of everything the Administration does, to combatting the existential threat of climate change, and to continue protecting the American people from the Covid-19 pandemic," Singh said.
And White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday said, "I will say that the vice president is an incredibly important partner to the President of the United States. She has a challenging job, a hard job, and she has a great supportive team of people around her. But other than that, I'm not going to have any more comments on those reports."

A criminal organization from to to bottom. Everyone trusts no one and they constantly undermine each other.
They’re radicals but also idiots.
Yuppers, that is always what is most important in "everything". Cackle, cackle goes the VP who has done NOTHING with the invasion on the southern border, her being the "immigration czar". Pfft.
Where are those 81 million B/H voters to come to their aid?
Psaki does damage control for Kamala Harris’ reputation as poll numbers plummet

(CNN) Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff — deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when President Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns.
The exasperation runs both ways. Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers — who spoke extensively to CNN — reveal a complex reality inside the White House.
Many in the vice president’s circle fume that she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined.
The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she’s able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden’s team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president.

“”to continue protecting the American people from the Covid-19 pandemic,””
Awesome....
She’s so successful at everything she does, we barely notice it.
I’m surprised anyone can stand to work alongside that cackling harridan. The only motivation I can imagine is self-aggrandizement.
Biden-successor chatter grows .........and Harris isn’t scaring off any SUCCESSORS
Trial balloon........dump her on the USSC?
Gee, I guess creative editing can be fun, after all...
Heels up is getting thumbs down.
A criminal organization from top to bottom. Everyone trusts no one and they constantly undermine each other.
Just like the Royals and Oligarchs of Europe and elsewhere since time immemorial. Everybody wants to be the King or his Queen or his mistress.
I always thought it odd, Harris, so unpopular in the Democratic primaries she dropped out really early, ends up as the VP pick. And she threw a lot of heat twords Biden. If Joe doesn’t make it to 2024, she’s kind of the defacto nominee 2024 or 2028. Someone who’s proven unpopular.
Ron Klain lives on Fantasy Land. Almost everything he just said is the exact opposite in reality.
Whatever cnn is reporting means it must be 10 times worse.
My prediction is that Kamalamadingdong is a fail in the 2024 primaries.
She’s not crazy socialist enough for the true believers, and looked on as a weak candidate by the “mainstream” Dems.
Right now it looks like Booty-Gig to me.
Are there any men (actual males who identify as males) on the VP's staff? I get the impression they're all women (and maybe a few beta-males). If so it's no wonder there's in-fighting.
An office full of competitive women can out-do Attila the Hun for ruthlessness.
Aw poor Heels-Up! Maybe Willie could swing by and give her a sympathy boink to cheer her up!
Beto. They loves them some Beto out there...
I agree... she's gullible but not evil. They'll want someone harsher - much harsher. I'm guessing they'll push for Kerry.
