Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is facing challenges related to internal cohesiveness, as a blend of loyalists to the vice president and former Obama staffers are working together on what was previously President Biden’s re-election campaign. The team, described as 'at times unwieldy,' comprises individuals from various backgrounds, resulting in competing power centers within the campaign.
While Mike Donilon, the main architect of Biden’s campaign messaging, has returned to the White House, Harris has retained most of Biden’s other campaign staff. Additionally, she has incorporated her own team members and aides from Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, creating a complex dynamic within the campaign structure.
