"They're too much in their feelings," one close Harris ally said of the president's team - a sentiment shared even by some White House aides. Driving the news: Some on the Harris team say that top White House aides aren't sufficiently coordinating Biden's messaging and schedule to align with what's best for the vice president's campaign."
"The White House is lacking someone in the room thinking first and foremost about how things would affect the campaign," a person involved with Harris' campaign told Axios. This highlights a perceived lack of synergy between Biden's administration and Harris' campaign efforts, causing frustration within her team.
"Biden gave an impromptu press conference in the White House briefing room Friday just as Harris was about to do an event in Michigan, ensuring that her event would get less TV coverage than it otherwise would have." This move was seen as a tactical misstep that undermined Harris' visibility just as she was attempting to engage with voters.
"Earlier in the week, Harris criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for not taking her call about the recent hurricanes, only for Biden to praise DeSantis soon after for being 'gracious' and 'cooperative.' A person familiar with the situation told Axios that Biden hadn't been briefed on Harris' comments." This incident illustrates a disconnect in communication that affects both Harris' credibility and her relationship with Biden.
