Kamala Harris viewed White House aides not standing when she walked into a room as 'a sign of disrespect,' book says

The Vice President felt slighted by White House aides not standing when she entered into a room, part of a pattern of snubs that the former senator was said to have been fixed on.

In the book, "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future", Martin and Burns described a relationship between the staff of Harris and the West Wing of Biden's West Wing.

Some of Harris's advisers believed the president's inner circle didn't show the vice president the respect she deserved.

According to the book, Harris had her chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, speak with the senior advisor to the president about her unhappiness with White House staffers not standing when she entered rooms.

According to the book, the vice president took it as a sign of disrespect.

In an interview with Playbook, a well-known Democratic political strategist who served in the Biden White House from January 2021 to August 2021, said that everyone in the West Wing has a high degree of respect for the Vice President.

She said that she was particularly me.

In the book, Martin and Burns wrote that the vice president's staffers tried to get Harris to oversee relationships with Nordic countries, but she wouldn't listen. The proposal was described as a low-risk diplomatic assignment that might have helped Harris get adjusted to the international stage.

According to the book, the idea was not well-received.

Biden aides were annoyed when they learned the vice president wanted to give a major speech to outline her view of foreign policy. The idea was vetoed by Biden aides.

Insider reached out to the White House and the office of Harris.

The first female, first Black, and first Indian American vice president in American history has been the subject of unfair coverage in the media since Harris took office.

According to a report by The Washington Post, there has been a major effort for a reset by the Harris team.

At a time when many felt that her office lacked consistent messaging on her duties and political accomplishments, the vice president brought on a long-time Democratic analyst to be her communications director.
