...As Vice President Kamala Harris grapples with a portfolio of seemingly intractable issues and responsibilities that have drawn her away from the national spotlight — she Zoomed into the infrastructure Cabinet meeting from Paris on Friday — other Democrats have raised their own national profiles....

...Though the expectation remains that Biden will mount a reelection bid, Democratic operatives are preparing for the possibility that it won’t materialize... Biden has also said he wants to be a bridge to the next generation, which has fed routine speculation that he could bow out to make way for a younger Democratic candidate.

Typically, the person at the other side of that bridge would be the vice president. But less than a year into her time in the executive branch, more than a dozen Democratic officials — some affiliated with potential candidates — say that Harris is currently not scaring any prospective opponents.

“She’s definitely not going to clear the f---ing field,” said one veteran New Hampshire operative.

Exasperation and dysfunction: Inside Kamala Harris’ frustrating start as vice president
CNN ^ | Nov 14, 2021 | Edward-Isaac Dovere and Jasmine Wright

(CNN)Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff — deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when President Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns.

The exasperation runs both ways. Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers — who spoke extensively to CNN — reveal a complex reality inside the White House.

Many in the vice president’s circle fume that she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined.

Kamalia knows with certainty that her days alive are numbered, for if the decisions and actions her party is willing to take in regards to the Nation and populace, simply killing a vice president is child’s play.

Bidinflation combined with Bidenillegals is enough to sink the country forever.
