Joe Biden wants to EXCLUDE Kamala Harris from 2024 Dem ticket for VP over 'someone like Michelle Obama'
WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden is desperate to win a second term and is allegedly planning to dump Vice President Kamala Harris as his 2024 running mate. White House insiders say he'd prefer 'someone like Hillary Clinyon or Michelle Obama' as it would improve his chances.
The 80-year-old POTUS has apparently had enough of his deputy's failures on domestic policy issues and is said to blame 58-year-old Harris for his weak poll numbers. Some White House insiders say he's already decided to exclude her from the 2024 Democratic ticket and has his eyes on another female candidate. It's worth noting that Biden picked Harris as his 2020 running mate despite an acrimonious Democratic primary in which she viciously attacked him for opposing federally mandated school desegregation by busing students to different districts.

"Joe's no fool," a Democratic party source told Radar Online. "He knows if he can add someone like Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama to the ticket instead of Kamala, his chances immediately improve against any Republican nominee." Another insider said, "Joe's also looking ahead. If he wins the next election cycle, his running mate will be the front-runner in 2028. Kamala doesn't seem to have the right stuff." The tipsters claimed Biden is unhappy with Harris' performance in getting the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act through the Senate after it was passed by the House of Representatives. He is apparently also "steaming" over her bungled handling of the US-Mexico border crisis.
"Joe gave her responsibility over these hot-button issues, and she's done nothing but make a hash out of them," the insider explained. "Combine that with the reports of her overseeing a toxic work environment in her office. The writing was on the wall — she had to go." This comes as sources recently revealed how Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff complained about his wife being saddled with the administration's most challenging policy assignments, such as a plan to handle the record 2.3 million migrants who've crossed the southern border since October 2021. On the other hand, sources say Biden is well aware of surveys showing most Americans on both sides of the political aisle don't want him to run again. The insider, therefore, insisted that "no one should be surprised" he is letting Kamala go to protect his own interests.

MEAWW previously reported how a new book claimed Biden was annoyed with Harris after her husband allegedly complained about the tasks assigned to the veep. Author Chris Whipple wrote in his book 'The Fight of His Life’ that the POTUS referred to Harris as a "work in progress" and became enraged with her and Emhoff after hearing their complaints about her job in the administration. The book claims that Harris intended to spearhead voting rights reform but was appointed as border czar instead, a role that "her allies felt was hurting her politically." Whipple noted that after giving his vice president his tasks, “word got back to [Biden] that second gentleman Douglas Emhoff had been complaining about Harris' policy portfolio.” “When he heard this, 'Biden was annoyed,'” Whipple wrote. According to the book, the President believed “he hadn't asked Harris to do anything he hadn't done as vice president.”
