There is a growing rift within the Democratic Party, centering on former Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly released memoir.
Several former aides to President Joe Biden have publicly criticized Kamala Harris for claims made in her book, “107 Days.” The former Vice President alleges that Joe Biden’s decision to seek reelection at age 81 was “recklessness disguised as duty.” She further asserts that the president’s inner circle viewed her success as a threat to his own standing.
One former White House official stated that Harris “had basically zero substantive role in the administration’s key work streams.” Another aide dismissed her explanation for remaining silent about Biden’s reelection plans, suggesting it lacked courage.
This public dispute raises important questions about the unity of the Democratic Party and the potential impact on future elections. It also highlights the challenges of succession planning in American politics.
While some former officials criticize Harris’s performance, particularly on immigration, others defend her. One former aide expressed pride in her willingness to speak out, stating, “We never thought she would actually say anything.”

Not all reactions have been negative. Former chief of staff Ron Klain offered a more conciliatory view, saying, “I thought she did a good job as VP and I feel bad that she found the experience negative.”
This development follows earlier reports of tension within the Biden administration. The evidence suggests a complex relationship between the former President’s team and the former Vice President’s office, with implications that may extend beyond the current news cycle.
