A new book by journalist Franklin Foer revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris had 'rabbit ears' for criticism, serving as a source of frustration in the West Wing.
has"rabbit ears" for criticism, which are a source of frustration in President Biden's West Wing, according to a new book.
"Rather than brushing it aside, she wanted to know who was speaking ill of her and what they were saying," Foer wrote, noting that when Harris"read a devastating story" on a news website"about her mismanagement of her team," the vice president"responded by briefly freezing out an aide whom she suspected of cooperating with reporters."
Foer wrote that Biden"had helped plug the gaps in Obama's resume" but that the president"didn't need Harris in the same way Obama needed Biden.""Ron Klain assumed the role of Harris' guide," Foer wrote."He thought of himself as the building's resident expert on the vice presidency, having worked for both Al Gore and Joe Biden as they sat in the second chair.
Foer wrote that, to"Klain's ear, she was creating too many rules, and they made it hard for her to find her footing." Harris"asked to be placed in charge of relations with Scandinavia — away from the spotlight." Yet, when"she finally asked for a meaty assignment" on voting rights,"Klain initially balked — hardly the vote of confidence she needed," Foer wrote.
