Kamala Harris Gets Petty, Snubs Elizabeth Warren over VP Comments

Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly snubbed Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) after the Democrat senator refused to endorse the VP for 2024.

According to CNN, Harris won’t return Warren’s phone calls.

Warren said it was a mistake and has tried to call Harris and apologize but was snubbed by her former 2020 Democrat primary rival.

When she was asked if she endorsed Harris as Biden’s running mate on the 2024 ticket, Warren dodged the question and said:

“I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team.

“I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala.

“I knew her back when she was an attorney general and I was still teaching, and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back.

“But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are.”

Her comments provoked widespread outrage from the Left, however.

“I fully support the president’s and vice president’s reelection together and never intended to imply otherwise,” Warren said after the backlash.

“They’re a terrific team with a strong record of delivering for working families.”

“Pretty insulting,” is how one person close to Harris described the feelings of people in the vice president’s office.

According to CNN:

“But the Warren moment is infuriating many in Harris’ circle: To them, it’s the latest in a long string of snubs to a vice president whom they say has never gotten the respect or support she deserves.

“Warren’s words sting even more, they say, because they came from a former rival who in 2020 hoped to be picked as Biden’s running mate instead.”

Many leading Democrats are worried Harris may drag Biden down in a tight race.

One said: “Right now, she seems to be an albatross.

“She’s either going to be a liability or a help.

“And you better embrace her because it’s not like she’s going to be off the ticket.

“It’s gone from the negative, ‘We can’t have her be weak,’ to the positive, ‘She must be a force, and she’s demonstrated that she can be.’”
