Ex-Biden official’s telling response to alleged rift between outgoing prez, Kamala Harris: ‘Who cares? She’s done’

Vice President Kamala Harris has told her closest confidants that she’s disappointed President Biden claimed in a recent interview that he could have won the 2024 election had he been allowed to face Donald Trump.
Biden’s comment to USA Today has strained the relationship between Biden and Harris in the final days of their administration, according to a Wall Street Journal report published late Wednesday.
According to the outlet, Harris allies believe the comment by Biden demonstrated the “one-sided loyalty” that has marked the pair’s alliance, with the veep reluctant to criticize or distance herself from her boss.
“Who cares?” one former Biden official told The Post in response to the reported rift. “She is done."
In the USA Today interview published Jan. 8, Biden told the paper’s Washington bureau chief Susan Page: “It’s presumptuous to say that, but I think yes, based on the polling,” that he would have won a second term.
The 82-year-old then doubled down days later, saying he “could have beaten Trump, would have beaten Trump” — before adding that Harris also “could have beaten Trump, would have beaten Trump,” possibly forgetting that she had lost to the Republican in an Electoral College landside Nov. 5.
Eagle-eyed observers have detected a noticeable chill in relations between Harris and the Bidens, especially first lady Jill Biden.
At last month’s Kennedy Center Honors, the Bidens neither greeted nor acknowledged Harris as they took their seats to a standing ovation.

Well, these things happen in politics. Trump and Pence aren’t exactly the best of buddies either.

I think Biden would have gotten more votes than she did.
