Democratic lawmakers have been complaining to Vice President Kamala Harris about President Biden’s 2024 campaign, warning that the ticket’s re-election strategy “need[s] to be better” to allay voter concerns and defeat likely Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Dozens of sources tell CNN that Harris has been hosting informal gatherings of Democratic members of Congress, governors and other elected officials who are increasingly worried about taking heavy losses up and down the ballot Nov. 5.
“The ‘bedwetting’ complaints are running thin with people,” one source told the outlet in reference to the talks held at the White House, on Air Force Two, or during dinners at the vice president’s official residence.
“The West Wing and the campaign need to be better,” the person added.
Other unnamed Democrats have said Biden’s best option for boosting his lagging poll numbers would be to drop Harris as his running mate, according to the sources.
