Allies of Vice President Kamala Harris expressed frustration after she was left out of conversations regarding a potential replacement for President Joe Biden following his weak performance in the recent debate against former President Donald Trump, according to a Saturday report by Politico. Some insiders claimed that Governor Gavin Newsom of California and Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan were considered as alternatives, while Harris was expected to defend her boss amid widespread criticism over his lackluster showing. Critics accused the Democratic Party of favoring white candidates over qualified minorities like Harris. Despite this, polls consistently show that Harris has lower ratings than Biden throughout their partnership.
