Mark Halperin said on Newsmax TV on Wednesday that some Democrats close to former President Joe Biden refer to former Vice President Kamala Harris by an unflattering nickname.
Halperin said Biden’s team is ready to leak damaging stories about how they had to prep Harris for the presidency if she criticizes him in her book. Speaking on “The Chris Salcedo Show,” Halperin said Biden’s team harbors deep frustration over Harris.
“What some Biden folks have said to me is Kamala Harris better stay on the reservation. She better stay on the good side of Joe Biden and his team. Otherwise, they’re prepared to tell the stories that they know that at least one Biden official described as Palinesque,” Halperin said.
Halperin said tensions between Biden and Harris date back to the start of the administration, when Biden’s team scrambled to prepare her for the presidency in case he couldn’t finish his term.

“It’s not just the book. It’s the whole relationship. The Biden folks, at the beginning of the administration, found that Kamala Harris needed a big pressure, a big briefing, series of briefings. So they spent a lot of time getting her to meet with world leaders, policy briefings, to try to make sure that she was ready to be president in case Joe Biden had to step aside or left office for some other reason. Now they know all those stories,” Halperin said.
Harris said her forthcoming book, “107 Days,” will detail her short-lived presidential run and explain why she chose not to pursue California’s governorship, blaming what she called a “broken system.” Despite that criticism, Harris built her career through decades in public office, holding positions from San Francisco district attorney to U.S. senator.
Harris’s next political move remains uncertain after losing the 2024 race to President Donald Trump. Major Democratic donors and strategists have shown little enthusiasm for a potential Harris 2028 campaign, pointing to her $1.5 billion spending spree marked by media buys and celebrity events.
