Harris’s Office Reportedly Experiencing Low Morale: ‘It’s an Abusive Environment’

Vice President Kamala Harris’s office is “tense and at times dour office atmosphere,” according to a new report.

After interviewing 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and President Joe Biden, Politico reported Harris’s office is “experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials.”

According to Politico, the majority of the frustration is directed at Tina Flournoy, Harris’s chief of staff.

“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” one person familiar with how the office is run said.

The person added, “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s**t.”

The senior advisor and chief spokesperson for Harris, Symone Sanders, defended Flournoy.

She said Flournoy has an “open door policy” and that “Black women like me would not have the opportunity to work in politics without Tina.”

Sanders continued, “People are cowards to do this this way.”

She also argued, “We are not making rainbows and bunnies all day. What I hear is that people have hard jobs and I’m like ‘welcome to the club.'”

Sanders added, “We have created a culture where people, if there is anything anyone would like to raise, there are avenues for them to do so. Whoever has something they would like to raise, they should raise it directly.”
