National Review "On the menu today: CNN offers a blistering portrait of the perpetual dysfunction in Vice President Kamala Harris’s office and the growing tensions between her team and the rest of the administration. Also, the Biden team continues to insist that inflation is just “transitory,”
"A Blistering Portrait of Kamala Harris’s ‘Dysfunction’
"In an in-depth report published yesterday, CNN describes Kamala Harris’s time as vice president so far as marked by “entrenched dysfunction and a lack of focus,” and reports that Harris and her “frantic” supporters feel she’s been “sidelined,” “constrained,” “struggling with a rocky relationship,” “abandoned,” “annoyed,” and “hobbled,” and that “her staff failed her.”
"But other than that, things are going swimmingly!
"Five things to keep in mind based off CNN’s deep dive:
"One: Most of Kamala Harris’s Senate and campaign staffers aren’t with her in the vice presidency.
"Harris’s domestic-policy adviser, Rohini Kosoglu, is one of the few exceptions, but beyond that, the vice president is surrounded by newcomers and outsiders.
"Harris’s chief of staff, Hartina Flournoy, was previously chief of staff to former president Bill Clinton until joining Harris in December 2020. Harris’s deputy chief of staff, Michael Fuchs, was a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and a foreign-policy adviser to Clinton before joining Harris in January. Harris’s chief spokesperson, Symone Sanders, was press secretary for Bernie Sanders in 2016 and switched over to Biden’s team in April 2019. Harris’s communications director, Ashley Etienne, was Nancy Pelosi’s communications director and senior adviser until she joined the Biden campaign in August 2020. Harris’s national-security adviser, Nancy McEldowney, is a career foreign-service official." . . .
