White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is touting the job Vice President Kamala Harris is doing amid a new report that suggests White House aides have grown exasperated with her.
During an appearance on CNN on Monday, Klain said, âSheâs doing a magnificent job. And by the way, in that report, Iâm quoted as saying what I believe, which is that thereâs no vice president Iâve seen thatâs gotten off to a faster start than Vice President Harris. Sheâs doing an amazing for the president.â
âWhat I know is she is delivering for the American people,â he added. âShe helped us deliver on this infrastructure bill. She then got up a few days later and went across the ocean to France and spent a week over there hoping to repair and strengthen our alliance with Americaâs oldest ally.â
Klain continued:
âSheâs delivering for the American people. Every day sheâs doing a fantastic job whether itâs on domestic matters or international matters.â

On Sunday, CNN published a report that said that âkey West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff.â
âThe exasperation runs both ways,â the report added. âInterviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors, and outside advisers â who spoke extensively to CNN â reveal a complex reality inside the White House. Many in the vice presidentâs circle fume that sheâs not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined.â
White House Press Secretary Jen Psakitweeted apparently in response to the story, âFor anyone who needs to hear it. is not only a vital partner to but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country â from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband.â
