It’s no secret that the White House is experiencing some internal turmoil. With President Biden’s exit from the 2024 race and Vice President Kamala Harris stepping into the spotlight, reports of rising tensions between the two camps have started to surface. This disunity, which many believe has been brewing for months, is starting to impact how the administration presents itself to the public, and it couldn’t come at a worse time for Democrats as they prepare for the upcoming election.
But there’s more going on beneath the surface than just a few campaign squabbles. Let’s not forget—Biden didn’t step aside on his own accord. He was overthrown. Pushed out. And although he’s playing the part of the loyal supporter in public, it’s clear that he harbors hidden anger and resentment toward Harris. The man who spent years at the top of the political food chain doesn’t take kindly to being sidelined, especially in favor of someone as inexperienced and unpopular as Harris.
Let’s break down what’s going on behind the scenes and why Biden’s covert disdain for Harris could spell disaster for the Democrats.
Miscommunication and Mixed Messaging: A Symptom of Deeper Problems
According to a report from Axios, one of the major sources of tension between the Biden and Harris teams is a failure to coordinate messaging and schedules effectively. Harris’s campaign members have expressed frustration, feeling that Biden’s aides aren’t doing enough to align the president’s public appearances and statements with Harris’s campaign goals.
An example of this came to light when President Biden held a surprise press conference to address hurricane relief efforts while Harris was campaigning in Michigan. This uncoordinated event took the spotlight away from Harris and created an awkward split in attention that left her campaign team feeling unsupported. But what if this wasn’t just a simple scheduling conflict? Could it be that Biden is subtly sabotaging Harris, knowing full well that his actions would undermine her?
Worse yet, the incident with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis added fuel to the fire. Harris criticized DeSantis for ignoring her calls about hurricane relief efforts, but Biden, unaware of (or purposely ignoring) her comments, praised DeSantis for his cooperation in handling the storms. This public contradiction only highlighted the growing miscommunication between the two camps, but it also hints at something deeper—Biden’s simmering resentment toward Harris.
A Fractured Relationship: Biden’s Hidden Dislike for Harris
While disagreements and frustrations between the president and vice president’s teams aren’t unheard of, this particular rift seems more serious. Biden’s exit from the race hasn’t exactly left his team feeling motivated. Axios reported that many of Biden’s senior aides are still adjusting to the reality of being in a supporting role, rather than leading one. These aides are “wounded” by Biden’s exit, and it’s clear that some are still grappling with their reduced roles. But it’s not just the aides who are bitter—Biden himself is said to be fuming behind closed doors.
He never wanted to hand the reins to Harris, and it’s clear he doesn’t trust her to lead. According to insiders, Biden feels that Harris was forced upon him by party elites and that she was chosen not because of her abilities, but because of identity politics. Biden has always been known as someone who plays by the old-school political rules, and seeing someone like Harris, who he believes lacks the necessary experience, ascend to the top has undoubtedly left him seething. But instead of coming out and openly criticizing her, he’s doing what any seasoned politician would—undermining her behind the scenes.
Biden’s Missed Opportunity—or a Calculated Move?
Many observers believe that Biden’s failure to properly brief his team on Harris’s statements about DeSantis was a missed opportunity to show unity. Instead of aligning with his vice president, Biden’s praise for DeSantis directly contradicted Harris’s narrative. This has left many wondering if the White House is capable of maintaining a cohesive front.
But what if this “missed opportunity” wasn’t a mistake at all? Biden’s known for his ability to navigate political minefields, and it’s hard to believe that he simply wasn’t briefed on Harris’s comments. It seems more likely that this was a calculated move to throw her off balance. By praising DeSantis—one of Harris’s political enemies—Biden not only made her look bad but also gave the impression that Harris was playing politics with a national disaster. A clever move, if you ask me.
The Struggle for Power: Harris’s Allies Feel the Heat
It’s no secret that presidential campaigns are high-stakes operations, but the added complexity of an internal White House struggle makes Harris’s campaign even more challenging. Axios also noted that there’s been awkwardness between Biden’s former campaign staffers and Harris’s new team. Some staffers have reportedly been labeled as “disloyal” for considering a transition to Harris’s campaign, further deepening the divide between the two camps.
The strained relationship between these two groups raises serious questions about whether Harris can truly unify the Democratic Party. With many Biden aides still upset about the president being pushed out of the race, it’s hard to imagine that all parties are fully committed to ensuring Harris’s success. And if Biden’s inner circle isn’t on board, how can Harris expect to lead a unified party into 2024?
The DeSantis Debacle: Another Example of Sabotage?
Perhaps one of the clearest examples of the tensions between Harris and Biden came in the form of her spat with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. According to Fox News, Biden aides found Harris’s decision to pick a fight with DeSantis over hurricane relief efforts to be a “dumb thing” to do. Rather than focusing on the critical needs of disaster victims, Harris made it a political issue, criticizing DeSantis for allegedly not taking her calls.
But Biden’s team quickly swooped in to “correct” the narrative, with Biden praising DeSantis for his cooperation. Was this another example of Biden subtly undermining Harris, making her look like the one who’s politicizing a natural disaster? Many believe so. Biden knows how to play the political game, and he’s not above throwing his own vice president under the bus if it means preserving his own legacy.
What Does This Mean for Harris?
As the Democratic nominee, Harris has a lot to prove. Her critics have long pointed out that she lacks the leadership experience necessary to hold the highest office in the land, and these internal disputes aren’t helping her case. Biden’s team may be rooting for her on paper, but the reality is that without full cooperation from the White House, Harris’s path to victory is going to be an uphill battle.
And let’s not forget: Biden’s resentment for being “overthrown” could manifest in subtle but powerful ways, as we’ve already seen. If Harris can’t manage her own team and can’t coordinate with the White House, voters are going to start asking if she can handle running the country. Republicans are already honing in on this perceived weakness, and if Harris’s team doesn’t get its act together soon, the road to November 2024 could be a rough one.
Final Thoughts
The reported tensions between the Biden and Harris camps are more than just political gossip—they’re a symptom of deeper issues within the Democratic Party. With Biden stepping aside in what many see as an orchestrated move, his hidden resentment toward Harris is bubbling to the surface. The disunity, miscommunication, and backstabbing coming out of the White House are giving Republicans plenty of ammunition to attack Harris’s credibility. If Harris can’t reign in her team and find a way to navigate Biden’s subtle sabotage, the Democrats could be heading toward disaster in 2024.

Harris is just a dumb dog on a leach. She can’t think on her own everything she says is a lying cover up. Nobody understands what comes out of her mouth never answers a question asked every thing is always side stepped. This is not the person who we want leading this country or dealing with foreign leaders.
Harris is the worst dumbest VP in America history. She should never be president of anything except a cesspool co.
She’s a word salad airhead!!!!
If Harris should become president, (God forbid), she would probably have advisors to keep things going on an even keel, but there is a problem. There would be many times where Harris would be expected to make decisions on her own, without a teleprompter, notes, or aides at her beck and call. If she had to attend high level talks with other nations leaders and was expected to make a snap decision that would affect the United States profoundly, we would be in a world of hurt. Harris doesn’t have the experience or common sense necessary for these vital decisions.
Why would Biden be upset with the leader of the COUP, that removed him from the ballot with out a single vote? C’mon man!
