This isn&#8217;t the first time such issues have arisen in Harris&#8217;s teams; her vice presidency has seen significant staff turnover due to dissatisfaction with the office environment. A 2019 Op-Ed from a father of an intern in Harris&#8217;s office during her time as California\u2019s attorney general described a troubling workplace culture, noting that his son was surprised by Harris&#8217;s demand for her staff to refer to her as &#8220;general&#8221; and that he was prohibited from making eye contact with her.<\/p>\n<p>According to Axios, the current campaign has evolved into a disorganized &#8220;Frankenstein&#8221; team with various power centers. The report suggests that this mix includes members of Harris\u2019s own team, individuals from President Joe Biden\u2019s now-defunct re-election campaign, and aides connected to former President Barack Obama. One insider mentioned that this blending of different groups has resulted in confusion regarding roles within the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Some existing tensions stem from lingering resentments among Biden supporters who feel sidelined by tactics employed by Obama loyalists. A Biden fundraiser expressed frustration over how some people believe Biden was treated unfairly during his candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>The Axios report also pointed out that aides aiming to connect with mainstream America are frustrated about having to defend Harris on progressive issues like Medicare for All and calls for banning fracking. While some supporters argue these positions helped elect Biden in 2020, others see it as necessary for Harris to moderate her stance in order to appeal more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, there have been indications that some of Harris&#8217;s backers want to distance themselves from those who previously criticized her before she became the nominee. However, reports suggest she lacks a history of effectively managing internal conflicts within her campaigns; Politico noted that chaos characterized both her 2020 presidential primary effort and continues into the current race<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2333385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/harris-8.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[39641,32438,32504],"class_list":["post-2333384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-campaign-analysis","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-strategy"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/harris-8.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2333384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2333384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
