According to journalist Nick Sorta, “Harris just abruptly canceled her planned trip to California and ‘raced to the White House‘.”
The sudden change in schedules has fueled speculation about a growing crisis in the Biden administration.
With just one month until President Donald Trump is sworn in, the Biden admin faces mounting challenges.
The Biden admin is now also facing the possibility of a government shutdown.
Harris was scheduled to depart from Washington at 9:15 PM ET for a late-night arrival in Los Angeles.
However, she canceled her trip midday Thursday without providing specifics.
On Thursday night, Harris was spotted rushing toward the White House.
The White House issued a terse press release confirming her change of plans.
The statement didn’t give any specifics and only noted that Harris would stay in Washington to receive briefings and hold internal meetings.
“These meetings will be closed press,” the statement noted.
Meanwhile, Biden was escorted back to the White House after spending time in Wilmington, Delaware.
Biden had returned to Delaware to attend a memorial service for his late ex-wife and daughter.

Biden’s return comes amid heightened tension over a looming government shutdown.
Congressional Democrats and Republicans deadlocked over a critical spending bill.
Biden is facing increasing backlash for what some have called a “quiet quitting” approach to leadership during his final weeks in office.
The president has been absent during a fiscal crisis that could disrupt government operations days before Christmas.
The White House’s silence on the reasons behind Harris and Biden’s abrupt change of plans has done little to quiet critics.
Social media is buzzing with speculation about the looming government shutdown and briefings on Hurricane Helene.
However, some have speculated about the possibility of Harris assuming the presidency before Trump is sworn back in.
