Report: Biden Complained That Kamala Harris Is a ‘Work in Progress’
President Biden, in the first few months of his White House stint, complained about Vice President Kamala Harris and described her as a âwork in progress.â
This is according to excerpts from a book titled The Fight of His Life, obtained by Politico.
âIn the first months of his presidency, Joe Biden vented his frustrationâ about Harris, âtelling a friend that she was âa work in progress,’â the outlet writes.
The book is touted as pulling âback the curtain on the internal power struggles and back-room compromisesâ and providing an inside scoop on what the President âreally thinks of [Harris], the press, and living in the White House.â

Biden Views Kamala Harris as a Work in Progress
Another revelation from the book, if you can call it that, is that Biden was put off by complaints from Kamala Harrisâs husband, Douglas Emhoff.
Emhoff griped about her role in the administration as those close to her felt the tasks being assigned were hurting her politically.

âBiden was annoyed,â the bookâs author writes.
âHe hadnât asked Harris to do anything he hadnât done as vice president â and sheâd begged him for the voting rights assignment,â it continued.
Harris was dubbed Bidenâs immigration czar and led the administrationâs push for federal voting rights legislation. She failed on both fronts, leading to a border crisis of historic proportions and hitting a âbrick wallâ on election reform due to the filibuster.

Biden Snapped at Her, Shocking GOP Senators
Reports of dysfunction between Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris began cropping up over a year ago when CNNÂ reported that the Presidentâs team was trying to distance themselves from her.
The network revealed at the time that the Biden administration was frustrated by Harrisâ appalling poll numbers and disturbed by her âawkwardâ laugh when discussing serious matters.
âBidenâs team was annoyed that Harris fumbled answers about the border, including when she gave an awkward, laughing response about not visiting it during a spring interview with NBCâs Lester Holt,â they wrote.
The point that he is trying to make about the border is that YOU ARE THE BORDER CZAR!
Itâs amazing to see such a flippant attitude from our @VP.
âI havenât been to Europe either.â she retorts like a petulant child.
I canât believe this woman is making me defend Lester Holt! pic.twitter.com/HYPEOywJw6

The Political Insider reported that Biden allegedly snapped at Kamala Harris in such a harsh tone during a meeting with Republican lawmakers that it left people in the room âtaken aback.â
Harris had supposedly felt the $1 trillion in infrastructure spending being negotiated at the time was a bit weak and voiced her displeasure.
Harris âbegan to make the case for a larger package than the one Republicans seemed to have in mind.â
âBiden dismissed her comment immediatelyâ though, in a tone so harsh âthat even the Republican senators were taken aback.â
âBiden reportedly left Republican senators stunned during legislative negotiations when he strongly shut down Harris, who herself had recently been in the U.S. Senate.â https://t.co/fqLkeBWzBa

Harris has been an utter disaster since entering the White House, including traveling to the wrong border, making propaganda videos with child actors, and temporarily sporting a fake French accent.
She currently has a favorability rating of 39%, with 53% holding an unfavorable opinion of her.
