Less than a year after assembling a mostly new team to help settle her into the vice presidency, key members of Harris’ orbit are leaving and even more are eyeing the exits

view it as an opportunity for her to embrace a more active role in shaping her coverage. Among them, there is a growing sense of frustration over what is viewed as over-torqued critiques that feed a doomsday assessment of her standing and political future.

Karen Finney, a Democratic strategist who has worked on campaigns for Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams, said that despite the headlines, Harris had done laudable work on voting rights, meeting with people not traditionally heard from around D.C., and by helping put a “human face” on the president’s sprawling legislative agenda via her travel around the country.

With the exception of her four years in the U.S. Senate, the learning curve has led to early missteps and rough patches in every job she’s held. But she’s always recovered, in part by excelling in the work, aides noted. “And that recovery is a result of people focusing on what she is doing and not on what people are saying,” one longtime former Harris aide said.

Irresponsible take from Politico 1 aid left, while at 10 months in more than 25 aides left trump/pence, including very high profile ones like spicer What next - she avoids Bluetooth and is responsible with cyber security?

But what about her headphones? Trump was so good for business that you all will help crash our democracy to make a few bucks on the way down. samstein you are brilliant and can do better

rachaelmbade 🙄

rachaelmbade Just stop the BS.

rachaelmbade This is crap coverage of our VP, unfair, bad journalism

It's almost like working for the Vice President is a tough job, one made tougher by Beltway pundits who never question their own internal racism & misogyny.

Your conservative spin is old

rachaelmbade What is it women in media targeting KamalaHarris? Why can’t we celebrate and support one another?

Unmitigated dross.

Garbage

PolitiCON is bull💩

Your misogynoir is flashing neon red

so says the German version of Fox News…

Dick Cheney had to shoot a dude in the face to get the negative press that Kamala Harris is getting.

Knock it off

Biased Misogynoir king Cadelago shouldn’t be allowed to report on VP.

Khive might not like this but not a good look for the VP. 2204 or 2028 is open season for the democratic nominee

rachaelmbade Misogynoir reporting

EugeneDaniels2 Story’s like this regarding women politicians going places it’s solid gold to the republicans, I think u know what I mean. This needs to stop.

EugeneDaniels2 Go after real news.

Incompetent people who couldn’t handle the job pressure lol they will be easily replaced by deserving qualified staff. Hopefully black/poc women 💛💛💛

Yay!!! Creating more jobs openings! There are plentyyyy of qualified black/brown women who will be happy to be on MVP’s team 💛💛💛💛

No I don't believe Pence's team abandoned ship like this lol

A lot of people quit jobs when they don't like the job or have better job offers.

Always looking for the negative. It’s sickening

ccadelago Can we switch her to AG? She should have been placed in that position to begin with. She’d be going after the crime family.

murrayprof Mike Pence had his Chief of Staff and his Press Secretary resign in his first year as VP and I don't recall Politico obsessing over it like you are with Kamala Harris. I wonder what the reason could be? 🤔

ccadelago

ccadelago How about you cover the fact that 4 kids were just killed in a school shooting

28% approval rating

Worst nightmare is that something happens to Joe! He is bad enough, can you imagine her as President?

when you hire based on race and gender what do you expect

So what? This is not unusual whatsoever. Things change, circumstances changes, better opportunities come up, why tf is this even news. Just another VP narrative you guys continue to try to make as if she’s a boogie man.

Harris, big mistake of POTUS Warren would have been the best first vice-president.

What qualities define a leader? Not everyone is cut out for the job. At the very top, should be comprehension of the challenges facing your people, followed by compassion, loyalty to the issues & your people & a willingness to be out front. Just never felt it with KH

Stop trying to make fetch happen guys

When Putin invades Ukraine, Politico will blame Biden.

Sounds like a smart team 👍

Lol Trump had the most turn over of any modern President

Cue democrats flocking to this post bitching and moaning about a news organization actually saying something negative about the worst Vice President in the history of America. I mean, the nerve!

And these are the people that work with her and know her the best and even share most of her values, but they want off her sinking ship.
