In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides and allies said Flournoy, in an apparent effort to protect Harris, has instead created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.
How many books would we have on this if it happened under Trump?
Exactly. The threshold question is whether she'll get the type of support she'd need to head off the competition early (as Hillary did in 2016). Hearing stuff like this makes me think that's less likely, this bit in particular:
A politician who doesn't respond to bribery. Ouch, that's gotta hurt. Kamala really is stupid if she's violating that rule. No wonder she's getting bad press, the people who bribed her aren't getting what they paid for. These are warnings to get back on track and comply.
Wild that they just come out and shamelessly say it now.
