Vice President Kamala Harris has buckled in for the long haul, doubling down on being President Joe Biden’s partner as he faces the potential collapse of his reelection campaign, people close to her told NOTUS.
That’s even as the political winds turned apocalyptic for Biden, with Democrats now openly questioning if he should be on the ticket following his disastrous debate. And some have begun publicly floating her name as his replacement, a 180-turn from the fraught first two years of her vice presidency.
“Harris is looking to be a team player. Her future is intertwined with his future,” said a Democratic operative close to the campaign. “It is either him or her. There is no other option.”
