President Joe Biden is becoming more frustrated with his vice president’s inaction according to a recent report from Reuters.

The shocking story from Reuters included comments from high-ranking officials in the Biden administration who revealed some of the president’s candid opinions about Kamala Harris.

“If he did not think she was capable, he would not have picked her,” one former Biden official told Reuters in defense of Harris. 

“But it is a question of consistently rising to the occasion,” the official said. 

A second former official highlighted a “point of tension” between Biden and his VP. 

“I don’t think that the president sees her as somebody who takes anything off of his plate,” a second former White House official said, noting a “fear of messing up” had caused Harris to be late in joining important political fights, like the ongoing border crisis. 

In 2021, President Biden tasked his vice president with securing the border but Harris has faced widespread criticism for her neglect. (RELATED: Kamala Harris Blames Republicans for Border)

A current administration official acknowledged Harris’ weakness on border issues in comments to Reuters. “She, I think, is smart. She does not see this as a political win for her. Because it’s not. It’s a really hard issue,” the official said. 

The National Border Patrol Council grilled Harris for failing to do her job and protect the border in January. 

“If you were given a job 2 years ago with the explicit goal of reducing illegal immigration, and then you sit around and do nothing while illegal immigration explodes to levels never seen before, you should be fired and replaced. Period,” the Council wrote.
