White House Officials Criticize Harris for Not Defending Biden

White House officials expressed disappointment in Vice President Kamala Harris for failing to defend the Biden-Harris administration's record during a recent debate. This frustration stems from the challenges Harris faces in promoting the administration's policies while also addressing its shortcomings, particularly regarding crime, inflation, and border security. During her second interview since entering the race, Harris criticized the administration's policies, suggesting they are outdated and not suitable for the current century. She emphasized her intention to bring new ideas and a fresh approach to leadership, distancing herself from Biden's legacy. The White House, however, defended Harris's performance, asserting that she spoke passionately about Biden's leadership and their achievements together. Despite the internal tensions, the administration remains proud of her contributions and views her as a vital partner in their efforts over the past three and a half years.
