4:20pm- In a bombshell report, Alex Thompson of Axios examines why Vice President Kamala Harris is incapable of retaining her staff. Thompson writes: “Former Harris aides told Axios the high turnover is partly because of how the vice president treats her staff…Former aides often refer to it as Harris' ‘prosecuting the staff.’ During the 2020 campaign, Biden aides recall watching Harris interrogate her then-chief of staff Karine Jean-Pierre to the point that it made others uncomfortable.” In another bizarre instance, Thompson documents that “Harris has been cautious and reluctant to participate in events that weren't tightly controlled, Harris and Biden aides said… In April 2022, Harris was the guest for a dinner at D.C. news mogul David Bradley's home—a salon-style event Bradley hosts with Washington journalists and newsmakers. Harris' anxiety about the dinner was such that her staff held a mock dinner beforehand, with staffers playing participants, according to two people familiar with the event. Harris aides even considered including wine in the mock prep so Harris could practice with a glass or two.” You can read the full story here: https://www.axios.com/2024/07/22/biden-kamala-harris-election-chances#
