Former Vice President Kamala Harris just dropped a literary bombshell that’s got Biden’s old crew fuming.
Fox News reported that excerpts from Harris’ forthcoming book, "107 Days," released on Wednesday, have ignited a firestorm among former aides to President Joe Biden, who are accusing her of dodging accountability for what they see as a lackluster performance during her time as VP.
The drama kicked off when Harris’ book excerpts hit the public eye midweek, painting a picture of a vice presidency plagued by neglect from Biden’s inner circle. She claims she was left high and dry, with little to no defense against harsh media criticism. Well, if you’re expecting sympathy from Biden’s team, don’t hold your breath.
On Thursday, Axios reported that Biden’s former aides were practically steaming over Harris’ words. They’re calling her out for what they see as a blatant attempt to shift blame rather than own up to her own missteps. Turns out, pointing fingers doesn’t always win friends.
Harris wrote that getting any positive spin on her work was “almost impossible,” blaming Biden’s robust communications team for failing to back her up. If she thought that jab would go unanswered, she underestimated the loyalty of Biden’s squad. These folks aren’t just annoyed—they’re outright enraged.
One former Biden White House official didn’t mince words, saying Harris was “simply not good at the job.” They argued she had no real role in the administration’s major efforts, instead popping up for awkward photo ops that highlighted her lack of depth. Ouch—that’s the kind of feedback that stings worse than a paper cut.
Harris also assigned her the task to handle irregular immigration issues, implying it was a setup to tarnish her image as a so-called “border czar.” She suggests Biden’s team handed her a poisoned chalice with that role. But was it sabotage, or just a tough job she couldn’t tackle?
A former Biden aide shot back, saying if Harris had put half as much effort into the work as she did into griping about her image, things might have turned out differently. Perception, after all, often follows performance. Maybe a little less whining and a little more winning was the recipe she missed.
Not everyone in Biden’s camp is swinging a hammer, though. Former chief of staff Ron Klain offered a rare olive branch, stating Harris did a “good job” as vice president. That’s a lonely island of praise in a sea of criticism.
Another aide expressed relief that Harris is finally speaking out about what they see as shabby treatment by Biden’s team. They noted that staffers across various levels are quietly proud of her for breaking her silence. It’s a small but notable crack in the wall of discontent.
Still, the sharpest barbs keep coming, with one former aide questioning Harris’s claim that she lacked the courage to challenge Biden sooner. They snarked that her bid for “political absolution” might not be as convincing as she hopes. Actions—or in this case, inactions—do have consequences.
Harris’ defenders might argue she was set up to fail, but the broader narrative from Biden’s team paints a picture of missed opportunities and misplaced priorities. If she wanted a robust defense from the administration, perhaps delivering standout results was the ticket. It’s hard to cheer for a player who rarely steps onto the field.
As this feud unfolds, it’s clear Harris’ book is more than just a memoir—it’s a lightning rod for unresolved tensions. Both sides have their points, but the court of public opinion rarely sides with those who seem to duck responsibility. Will readers buy her version of events, or will Biden’s loyalists win the narrative war?
For now, neither Biden’s nor Harris’ representatives have commented on the controversy, despite outreach from Fox News Digital. The silence speaks volumes, leaving the public to sift through the he-said, she-said of this political spat. Sometimes, saying nothing is the loudest statement of all.
At the end of the day, "107 Days" has opened a Pandora’s box of grievances between two of the nation’s top Democrats, exposing rifts that could linger. While Harris may have hoped to set the record straight, she’s instead sparked a debate about competence, loyalty, and accountability. And in politics, as in life, the truth often depends on who’s telling the story.
