DONKEY BEEF: Veep Harris Won't Speak to Senator Warren After 2024 Snub; Report

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.13.23

According to a Fox News report, Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t speaking with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The tension between the two camps started earlier this year after the Massachusetts congresswoman failed to fully endorse Harris during a radio interview.

“I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team,” Warren responded when asked about Biden-Harriss 2024. “I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an attorney general and I was still teaching, and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are.”

After the interview, Warren issued a statement in an attempt to control the blowback.

“I fully support the president’s and vice president’s reelection together and never intended to imply otherwise,” Warren told GBH News. “They’re a terrific team with a strong record of delivering for working families.”

“But the Warren moment is infuriating many in Harris’ circle: To them, it’s the latest in a long string of snubs to a vice president whom they say has never gotten the respect or support she deserves. Warren’s words sting even more, they say, because they came from a former rival who in 2020 hoped to be picked as Biden’s running mate instead,” CNN’s Jasmine Wright and Edward-Isaac Dovere reported.

From Fox News:

Members of Democratic leadership are reportedly fearful that the negativity directed at the vice president could “prove a political problem.”

“People who are denigrating her are aggrandizing themselves,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill., told CNN.

Another Democratic Party chair reportedly told the outlet that Harris “seems to be an albatross.”

“She’s either going to be a liability or a help. And you better embrace her because it’s not like she’s going to be off the ticket,” the person said.

According to the Real Clear Politics average, more than half of Americans have an unfavorable view of Vice President Kamala Harris.
