Kamala Harris is the least popular Vice President in the past 50 years.
Democrats are turning on her.
And Kamala Harris may never recover from the controversy surrounding this one embarrassing picture of her.
If Joe Biden chooses not to seek a second term,
If Joe Biden chooses not to seek a second term, many in the Democrat Party believe Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket will guarantee a loss in 2024.
That’s a main message evidenced in a new book Democrats are using to signal their discontent with Harris.
And now, Kamala Harris is losing it over one Vogue Magazine photo discussed in the new book This Will Not Pass, by Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin.
Vogue Magazine published a cover photo showing Kamala Harris wearing Converse sneakers two weeks before Joe Biden’s inauguration.

In This Will Not Pass, Burns and Martin wrote that Harris became obsessed over this photo because she felt the magazine embarrassed her by publishing it.
Top staffers for Kamala Harris complained directly to Vogue editor Anna Wintour about the pictures.
But Harris’ Chief of Staff, Tina Flournoy, was admonished by Biden’s advisors for attempting to drag the White House into such trivial matters.
POLITICO reports:
Harris’ incoming press secretary SYMONE SANDERS, who declined to comment, reached Vogue editor ANNA WINTOUR to convey Harris’ frustration. Wintour, who did not respond to a request for comment, protested that she had chosen the picture personally because it made Harris “relatable,” according to Martin and Burns.
Incoming chief of staff TINA FLOURNOY was caught “off-guard by the anger in Harris’ circle” and contacted a senior Biden campaign official. Given the country’s myriad crises and the recent January 6th riot at the Capitol, “[t]he Biden adviser told Flournoy that this was not the time to be going to war with Vogue over a comparatively trivial aesthetic issue. Tina, the adviser said, these are first-world problems,” according to the excerpt.
This isn’t the only anti-Harris leaks contained within the new book.
Martin and Burns also wrote that Jill Biden didn’t want Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate.
According to Martin and Burns, White House Communications Director Kate Bedinfeld said the problems were a result of Harris’ incompetence and not the fault of her staffers.
If Joe Biden chooses not to seek a second term, many in the Democrat Party see Kamala Harris as a guaranteed loser in 2024.
Martin and Burns’ book served as an outlet for these Democrats to signal their discontent with Harris.
