Kamala Harris lacks a top team to steward
her 2024 White House bid after she burned through staff as vice-president amid claims of “bullying”.
Democrat insiders fear Ms Harris has few senior aides to rely on as she seeks to defeat Donald Trump in the election, which is little more than 100 days away.
The vice-president is primed to replace
Joe Biden as the Democrats’ nominee, after he withdrew from the race on Sunday.
Her small-scale political operation includes her communications director, Kirsten Allen, who is in her early 30s and worked on Ms Harris’s previous presidential bid; Lorraine Voles, Ms Harris’s chief of staff and a former aide to Al Gore; and Stephanie Young, who joined the team last year after working for an organisation founded by Michelle Obama.
