As the Biden-Harris administration stumbles toward its final days, the drama continues to unfold, with Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly feeling slighted by President Joe Biden’s latest comments. According to whispers from her inner circle, Harris is “disappointed” by Biden’s claim in a recent interview that he could have won the election had he chosen to run again. Biden’s statement, which included a dubious reference to polling that supposedly supported his assertion, came off as both dismissive of Harris and a bit delusional. He later added that both he and Harris could have emerged victorious—an odd claim, given her dismal track record. If Biden truly believed this, one has to wonder why he didn’t stay in the race. Consistency, after all, has never been his strong suit.
Harris’s confidants have wasted no time framing her as the victim in this final act of the administration. They’ve described Biden’s remark as a glaring example of the “one-sided loyalty” that has defined their partnership, with Harris refraining from criticizing Biden publicly while bearing the brunt of their strained relationship. The vice president’s camp seems keen to position her as a sympathetic figure, but it’s hard to ignore that much of her current predicament is self-inflicted.
Not that the Biden camp is losing any sleep over Harris’s grievances. When pressed about the alleged rift, a former Biden official shrugged it off with a blunt “Who cares?” before delivering the final blow: “She is done.” Ouch. That sentiment might resonate with many who’ve watched Harris bungle her way through the administration, from her mishandling of the border crisis to her painfully awkward public appearances. Still, the Democratic Party has a knack for surprising us with its choices, so maybe she’s not as “done” as we think. Then again, stranger things have happened.
Adding to the soap opera are the lingering tensions between Harris and First Lady Jill Biden, which were on full display at the recent Carter funeral. The frosty interactions between the two have become a talking point, even for typically sympathetic outlets like CNN. Matters got even more bizarre during Biden’s farewell speech, where Jill Biden reached over to hold the hand of Doug Emhoff—Kamala Harris’s husband—right in front of her. Harris’s reaction, caught on camera, was priceless, and the moment left many scratching their heads. Jill looked visibly disheartened, Emhoff appeared eager to be anywhere else, and Harris, well, let’s just say she didn’t look particularly sober.
Meanwhile, Hunter Biden sat quietly off to the side, looking as though the weight of the world—or perhaps an impending loss of influence—was crushing him. Without Joe Biden in office, Hunter’s days of leveraging the family name seem numbered. For the entire Biden-Harris clan, the future looks uncertain, and for many critics, it’s hard to suppress a smirk at the poetic justice of it all. As the curtain falls on this administration, the chaos and dysfunction that marked their tenure seem destined to follow them into history, leaving little sympathy in their wake.
