I get the distinct feeling that either Joe is checked out completely and not helping consult her campaign at all (other than because he's toxic to her image), or Harris' team has decided to take the direction of Clinton against the Biden-team's objections.
They really have committed to a distinctly different strategy from Biden, so it isn't surprising at all that there'd be a lot of in-fighting.
I keep forgetting that shambling corpse is still technically president. When was the last time he even appeared in public? Or had an interaction with someone that wasn't scripted and stage managed?
I think the only reason they haven't 25th amendment'd his ass is because then Kamala would have to be president and take on all the baggage of the office right before the election. Not that it would make that much of a difference at this point...
Not only would Harris be saddled with all the shortfalls of Biden's administration, but republicans would probably paint her as a power-hungry tyrant for pushing out her predecessor (they already are).

Yea, 100% it's a political calculation.
