As the Biden-Harris administration limps toward its final days, the drama that has defined their tenure continues to unravel. Vice President Kamala Harris, it seems, has been left stewing after President Joe Biden’s latest remarks. In a recent interview, Biden suggested that he could have won the election had he chosen to run again, citing some vague polling as evidence. While he later attempted to include Harris in his hypothetical victory lap, the damage was done. His comments came off as both dismissive of his second-in-command and a bit detached from reality. If he truly believed in his unbeatable chances, one might wonder why he didn’t stick around to try his luck. Then again, consistency has never been his strong suit.
Harris’s inner circle wasted no time spinning the narrative in her favor, painting her as the underappreciated partner in a dysfunctional political marriage. Her allies point to Biden’s comments as yet another example of what they call “one-sided loyalty,” where Harris loyally defends Biden in public while enduring his subtle jabs behind the scenes. This attempt to rebrand Harris as a sympathetic figure may resonate with some, but for most observers, her struggles appear more self-inflicted than imposed by her boss. After all, mishandling the border crisis and delivering cringeworthy soundbites doesn’t exactly scream victimhood.
Meanwhile, the Biden camp’s response to Harris’s alleged grievances has been icy at best. When asked about the supposed rift, a former Biden official dismissed the whole affair with a curt “Who cares?” and then twisted the knife by adding, “She is done.” Brutal, perhaps, but not entirely surprising. Harris’s tenure has been marked by gaffes and underwhelming performances, leading many to question her political future. However, if there’s one thing the Democratic Party excels at, it’s reviving careers that seemed beyond saving, so perhaps she’s not entirely out of the game just yet.
The tension between Harris and First Lady Jill Biden has also been impossible to ignore. Their frosty relationship was on full display at the recent Carter funeral, where their interactions were more strained than usual. The drama took a bizarre turn during Biden’s farewell speech, as Jill reached over to hold the hand of Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, right in front of her. Harris’s reaction, caught on camera, was a mix of disbelief and what some speculated might have been post-lunch libations. The moment left viewers baffled and gave the press plenty to analyze. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden, seated nearby, looked like a man grappling with the impending loss of influence that comes with his father’s exit from office.
As the curtain closes on the Biden-Harris administration, the dysfunction and chaos that have defined their years in power seem destined to follow them into the annals of history. From poorly handled crises to awkward personal dynamics, their legacy is a case study in how not to run a White House. For critics, the spectacle offers a sense of poetic justice—a fitting end to an administration that never quite seemed to find its footing. Whether their political futures are truly “done” or just on pause, one thing is certain: the American public is ready to move on.
