Kamala Harris accepted the job as Joe Biden\u2019s running mate, she doubtlessly had visions dancing in her head of running for president in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Biden being what he was, after all\u2064 \u2014 a geriatric placeholder \u2014 there seemed to be \u2064little doubt that Harris wasn\u2019t just\u200d the administration\u2019s No. 2 but No. 1. If all went\u2063 smoothly, Kamala could send\u200d Biden back home to Delaware, so he could spend more time churning out \u201cpaintings\u201d and signing Hunter\u2019s name \u2063to them. Madame Vice President, the Oval Office is yours for the taking, so \u2062long as we can all safely assume you can hold your own and send\u2063 Joe \u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-emerges-basement-hours-trump-declares-waved-white-flag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">back to his\u200c basement<\/a> for a nice,\u2064 long nap.<\/p>\n<p>Things \u200chave not gone smoothly, however \u2014 although there is a California Democrat openly campaigning for the White House this summer. His name is Gavin Newsom, and from reports inside the \u2063Kamala \u200bcamp, he\u2019s making Harris furious.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom may\u200d not be running in 2024, but anyone\u2064 with a TV and a brain knows the guy is getting a\u200b five-year jump on 2028, particularly with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/anytime-anywhere-desantis-newsom-agree-debate-live-tv-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plan to debate<\/a> Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis (you\u200b know, an actual \u2064presidential candidate) about the\u2064 relative merits of how each is governing their own states \u2014 which have become the archetypes for liberal vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mcconnell-slams-democrats-for-politicizing-courts-honors-clarence-thomas-at-heritage-foundation-ceremony\/\" title=\"McConnell Slams Democrats For Politicizing Courts, Honors Clarence Thomas At Heritage Foundation Ceremony\">conservative policy outcomes<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/joe-biden\/biden-advisers-bristle-newsoms-plan-debate-desantis-rcna101799\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC\u2064 News<\/a>,\u2062 however, the California governor \u201cis\u2062 increasingly being viewed as a nuisance\u200d to some of President Joe Biden\u2019s political \u200cadvisers, according to four people familiar with the \u200cmatter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough Biden\u2019s camp no longer sees Newsom as a wannabe challenger \u2014 and some in Biden\u2019s orbit praise him for acting as a top campaign surrogate\u2062 \u2014 Newsom\u2019s plan to\u2062 debate Florida \u2062Gov. Ron DeSantis on television carries more risk than potential reward, these people say,\u201d the Sunday report continued. \u201cThat has caused consternation within Biden\u2019s operation and among Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 allies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u200d last part should be underlined and bolded, since NBC\u2062 News reported that \u201cHarris allies take particular umbrage at what they \u200bsee as Newsom\u2019s attempt to position himself for the\u2063 2028 Democratic\u2063 presidential primarily at her expense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s \u200cdisrespectful,\u201d one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-strategists-advice-biden-camp-regarding-kamala-harris-backfires-badly-republicans-say-please\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris\u2019<\/a> outside advisers said. \u201cJoe Biden is running with Kamala Harris.\u2064 That\u2019s the Democratic\u2062 ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Part of the problem \u200cis that Harris\u200b and Newsom have been having this feud since Barack Obama was still president and \u200cbefore Hillary Clinton <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HillaryClinton\/status\/791263939015376902?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted<\/a> a picture of herself with the caption \u201cHappy birthday to this future president\u201d in 2016. Neither would be president soon \u2014 and, in all \u200dlikelihood, only one of the two Californians \u2064will have a chance to be any time soon, either.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the two Bay Area politicians were clearly \u200bon collision courses for high positions that only one could\u200d occupy has been evident since as early as 2014, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/politics\/article\/Gavin-Newsom-and-Kamala-Harris-War-or-peace-in-5940420.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SFGate<\/a> noted that they were \u2062the only two notable California politicians with rising profiles on the national\u2064 radar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth Newsom, 47, and Harris, 50, are A-list candidates for high office. No other Democrats are as well known in California, and Republicans, \u2063who lag 13 points behind on voter registration, are all but out of the picture for statewide office for the foreseeable future,\u201d the outlet reported at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Newsom, the former San Francisco mayor, \u200cand Harris, the former San Francisco district attorney, share many of the same supporters and donors \u2014 one reason Democrats \u2064worry \u2062about a demolition derby on their \u2063next political lap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2064 lap came in 2015, when Sen. Barbara Boxer unexpectedly announced her\u2063 retirement. According to\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/rubycramer\/the-job-nobody-wanted-kamala-harris-and-gavin-newsom-decide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BuzzFeed News<\/a>, while \u200cboth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/convicted-infant-killer-execution-suspended-newsom-moved-womens-prison-reportedly-awaiting-taxpayer-funded-trans-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsom<\/a> and Harris emerged as front-runners to replace\u200c the \u2064retiring Sen. Boxer, Newsom decided his candidacy\u200b wasn\u2019t feasible; after a discussion between the two,\u2062 according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/politics-government\/capitol-alert\/article6076293.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sacramento Bee<\/a>, Harris jumped into a race that essentially became a coronation.\u200d Two years later, Newsom would win the governorship.<\/p>\n<p>By all accounts, then, Harris should \u200dhave the inside track\u200d to winning\u2062 the quiet rivalry \u2062between the two Golden State Democrats. There are a number of reasons that\u2019s not happening.<\/p>\n<p>The first \u2014 and primary \u2014 reason is what Basil Fawlty might have called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iJSyGlmT3lk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cthe bleeding obvious\u201d<\/a>: Harris polls\u200c about as \u200cwell as\u2064 salmonella, even in comparison to her \u2062unpopular boss. And the low numbers aren\u2019t unwarranted.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably the biggest California-centric bust since\u2062 the San\u200b Diego Chargers picked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kwwOviihbmA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ryan Leaf<\/a> second in the 1998 NFL Draft, the 58-year-old Harris has sometimes seemed more cognitively lost than her addled octogenarian superior and \u2062has developed \u200da one-dimensional personality that seems\u2064 summed up by an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chicago-dem-tears-cackling-kamala-touting-dem-success-despite-rampant-crime-gangs-illegals-not-laughing-matter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ever-present phony cackle<\/a>.

She goes through staff quicker than a Kardashian goes through significant others.<\/p>\n<p>As of Monday, Biden\u2019s aggregate ratings\u2064 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/other\/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RealClearPolitics<\/a> polling average sits at 42.1 percent approval and 53.4 percent disapproval \u2014 an 11 percent gap. Harris \u2014 who was supposed to be taking the yoke right about now if all went according to what felt like the unspoken plan \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/other\/kamala_harris_favorableunfavorable-6690.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is<\/a> \u2064at 37.1 percent approval and 53.0 percent disapproval. That\u2019s just shy of\u200c a 16-point differential \u2014 and much worse than Biden, who comes across as more likable by shuffling around like a zombie, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the guy who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/california-lockdown-insanity-27-million-told-stay-home-state-bans-camping-allows-movie-production\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">locked down the entire \u200dGolden\u200b State<\/a> \u200c like it was Wuhan and has \u2064overseen the rapid transformation of \u200bhis state\u2019s metropolises into tent cities where\u200c the only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/security-guard-workers-stand-man-shoplifts-walgreens-san-francisco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growth industry is shoplifting<\/a> still comes across as a more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/counting-down-the-worst-moments-of-the-medias-love-affair-with-michael-avenatti\/\" title=\"Counting Down The Worst Moments Of The Media\u2019s Love Affair With Michael Avenatti\">credible presidential candidate<\/a>.
