A new biography claims that Vice President Kamala Harris, who was once thought to be President Joe Biden’s likely successor, is having trouble getting along with the Biden family and important aides. Political journalist Charlie Spiering’s book “Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House” describes in detail how Harris has been sidelined under the Biden administration.
Spiering, who has written for Breitbart as well as the Washington Examiner, explains in his book how Harris has been left out of important decisions and is not well-liked by the president’s staff. The book is scheduled for release on January 23 by Simon & Schuster’s Threshold Editions.
Spiering claims that despite the Biden team’s best efforts, Harris has made a number of missteps that have solidified her reputation. He points out that Harris is not well-liked by Democrats, and that given her stature, there is not much room for compassion. The book also demonstrates how Harris has not succeeded in advancing Biden’s agenda items, such as gun control and immigration reform, and has not materially supported him in Senate votes.
Spiering talks about Harris’s early years in politics, her friendship with Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco, and her victories for state attorney general and the US Senate. He also talks about her circumspect demeanor, political disputes, and embarrassing public events.
Harris’s tense connection with the first family is discussed in the book, which also points out that she hasn’t been accepted into their inner circle. Harris has not been involved in much of the administration’s activity, despite early indications of a close working relationship. The book also makes clear that neither Harris nor her husband were invited to a private dinner at the White House by the Bidens, nor had Harris hosted the Bidens at her house.
In addition to offering an inside look at the dynamics within the Biden administration, “Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris in the White House” also highlights Harris’s significance as the first woman of color to be appointed vice president.
