  • If Biden found out that his aides were leaking negative stories about Harris, he would fire them.

  • Two New York Times journalists wrote a book about the warning.

  • Harris had low public approval ratings as her vice president.

According to a forthcoming book, President Joe Biden threatened to fire any of his senior aides if he learned that they were behind a series of negative stories about the Vice President.

The warning came last year after several news outlets published stories about the office of Harris and the tension between her staffers and Biden. The reports were dismissed by the White House.

No one was more frustrated by the leaks than Joe Biden. The president had known many of Harris's flaws when he chose her to be his running mate, but he was defensive of her and irritated by the unsightly drama spilling into view, according to New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns.

According to the book, Biden told his senior staff that he would let them go if they leaked stories about Harris.

Harris's vice president has not been smooth sailing. A string of top advisors have left her office.

The book states that when the White House chief of staff met with Kathy Manning, he was dismayed to find out that she had been left out of parts of her district. The White House makes it a point to include lawmakers in top officials stops and Biden notes their presence from the podium.

According to the authors, one person's account of the meeting made Klain want to vomit.

The White House didn't reply to Insider's request for comment. An official previously told Insider that the administration did not plan to confirm or deny specific claims in the book.

There will be no shortage of books written about the administration, but we don't plan to engage in confirmations or denials.

There are examples in the book of how Biden's team mocked Harris.

The suggestion that the vice president would take the lead on relations with Nordic countries was mocked by the West Wing staff. Harris should give a sweeping speech on foreign policy, but the private ridicule went even further when it was said.

The idea was vetoed by Biden aides.

One of the biggest flashpoints was a small one. The photo Vogue selected for its February 2021 issue was upset by the Harris team.

According to the book, a Biden advisor told Harris and her aides that there were bigger things to worry about after the insurrection.

Tina, the advisor said, these are first world problems.
