Tensions Deepen Between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris After Election Loss

Reports suggest strained relations between the Bidens and Harris-Emhoff following the Vice President's defeat by Donald Trump in November's election.

First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have reportedly had a frosty relationship since Harris criticized Joe Biden's record during the 2020 Democratic primary debates.
The relationship between the Bidens and Harris-Emhoff has reportedly worsened after Harris lost the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, with private interactions described as 'draining' and 'depressing' by White House insiders.
President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race in July after pressure from Democratic allies over concerns about his age and fitness, later expressing regret and believing he could have won against Trump.
Harris' team reportedly felt that more time to campaign could have improved her chances, though both the White House and Harris' office have denied any post-election rift.
Observers have noted subtle tensions, including Jill Biden's choice of a red outfit on Election Day, which some interpreted as symbolic, though this remains speculative.
