Despite weeks of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.co.uk\/news\/article\/kamala-harris-sneakers-fashion\">campaigning in her signature Converse sneakers<\/a>, Harris apparently felt that the cover photo featuring her wearing them, along with a pair of skinny pants, was \u201can approachable but less than grand depiction of the incoming vice president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarris was wounded. She felt belittled by the magazine, asking aides: Would <i>Vogue <\/i>depict another world leader this way?\u201d Martin and Burns wrote, noting that after Harris\u2019 objections, Vogue ultimately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/vogue-kamala-harris-limited-edition-issue-with-different-cover-2021-1\">sold a limited edition issue<\/a> with the photo the Vice President had preferred.<\/p>\n<p>Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour said at the time that she had chosen the photo that she felt was more \u201crelatable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Biden\u2019s team was at odds with Harris\u2019 team even then, the book alleged, with one Biden official reportedly saying that it was \u201cnot the time\u201d to wage war with Vogue, particularly over an issue that was viewed by the president\u2019s staff as primarily \u201caesthetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was an early indication that members of the Biden-Harris teams were on different pages with different priorities. The dynamic didn\u2019t improve from there,\u201d the Politico report continued. \u201c<\/span>Martin and Burns document an increasingly fraught relationship between the West Wing and the vice president\u2019s office filled with anger, eye-rolling, portfolio feuds, and real and perceived slights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among those slights was the fact that Biden\u2019s staffers, who stood when he entered a room, did not do the same for Harris \u2014 a move that she interpreted as \u201ca sign of disrespect.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VP<\/a> was stung by what she saw as the lack of respect shown to her by WH aides  who failed to stand when she entered the room\u2013and her chief of staff conveyed that displeasure to the West Wing.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexThomp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AlexThomp<\/a> on this + lots more from THIS WILL NOT PASS:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x8xkvatz0d\">https:\/\/t.co\/x8xkvatz0d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jmartNYT\/status\/1506392522746212354?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 22, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSome of Harris\u2019s advisers believed the president\u2019s almost entirely white inner circle did not show the vice president the respect she deserved. Harris worried that Biden\u2019s staff looked down on her; she fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways the West Wing found tedious,\u201d Burns and Martin continued.<\/p>\n<p>They went on to say that Harris sent her chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, to address the situation. Flournoy reportedly told Biden top aide Anita Dunn that Harris was not pleased that West Wing staffers did not stand when she entered the room the way they did for the president.<\/p>\n<p>Dunn did not comment specifically on the conversation, but told Politico\u2019s West Wing Playbook, \u201cEveryone in the West Wing has a high degree of respect for the Vice President and the hard work she is doing for this President and our country. Particularly me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Harris\u2019 frustrations, the book claimed that First Lady Jill Biden was not thrilled with the decision to make her the Vice President in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/new-book-claims-jill-biden-didnt-want-harris-as-vp-why-do-we-have-to-choose-the-one-who-attacked-joe\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>First lady Jill Biden reportedly made it clear early on that she was not happy to welcome Harris to her husband\u2019s ticket. According to Burns and Martin, she referenced Harris\u2019 debate-stage attempt to paint then candidate Joe Biden as a racist \u2014 citing his friendships with known segregationists and his opposition to busing \u2014 and she wondered to an adviser whether there wasn\u2019t a better choice among the millions of other Americans who might be available.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSpeaking in confidence with a close adviser to her husband\u2019s campaign, the future first lady posed a pointed question. There are millions of people in the United States, she began. Why, she asked, do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
