[!CDATA[Aides to Vice President Kamala Harris were cautious about her social interactions, even going as far as organizing a practice event before a dinner party. The book "Original Sin" reveals that Harris' team held a mock soiree to help her prepare for a dinner at media mogul David Bradley's home. Despite concerns about Harris' performance, there were no reported issues at the actual dinner. The book highlights frustrations within the Biden administration regarding Harris, with some describing her as a "regular headache." Harris reportedly avoided challenging assignments and declined simple requests, such as headlining the Gridiron Club dinner. Additionally, her involvement in space exploration initiatives was met with criticism, with aides reportedly confusing astrology and astronomy. Many on the Biden team felt that Harris did not put in enough effort and was not easy to work with. Some even expressed regret about choosing her as Biden's running mate, suggesting that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer would have been a better choice. Despite internal tensions, Harris' campaign was chaired by Jen O'Malley Dillon after Biden withdrew from the 2024 race. "Original Sin" provides insights into the dynamics and challenges faced by Vice President Kamala Harris within the Biden administration. The book sheds light on the complexities of her role and relationships with colleagues, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of the White House.]]
