Considering Kamala Harris’s fitness to take over from Joe Biden should the need arise, a top aide to the former California senator’s 2020 campaign said: “This person should not be president of the United States.”

Harris saw heavy staff turnover, with aides describing a toxic climate riven with factionalism and mismanagement. One source who worked for the vice-president declined to go on record or even discuss matters anonymously, due to the heated atmosphere around the office.

“They refused to characterise the experience of working for Harris, apart from offering a three-word assessment. It was, they said: ‘Game of Thrones’.”

      Lord I hope not, but if Uncle Joe wins, then steps aside to position her for '28, there might not be a primary. Or it will be a nominal primary like in '16.

      It would surprise me if she won honest primaries.

      I don’t think we’re ever going to see another 2008, where party leadership’s selection is allowed to be rejected by primary voters in favor of a more exciting candidate that people actually want to vote for.
