Usa, rumors of internal tensions in the White House: Symone Sanders, spokesman for Kamala Harris, resigns
Kamala Harris loses another important piece of her staff: her personal spokesperson, Symone Sanders, 32, will leave his post by the end of the year. The reason has not been formalized, but the resignation comes after those of the communications manager, Ashley Etienne, after weeks of controversy over the alleged dysfunctions of the US vice president’s staff. Harris, according to some American media, she was accused by advisers to the president Joe Biden of not having given great support to White House when it was heavily attacked.
Harris would not have influenced the political agenda, and would not have brought home appreciable results on the front of the emergency on the southern border with Mexico and on the civil rights. Tensions have never been officially confirmed, but the Sanders resignation announced, historical collaborator of the vice president, as well as political strategist, confirm the suspicions of an internal tension.
Harris staff said both the president and vice president had long been aware of the spokesperson’s decision. On a note issued in the evening, Sanders confirmed the farewell, writing “I am so grateful to the vice president for her trust in me and I will miss working with her and with all of you”.
According to staff members of Harris, the decision was made two months ago. The spokesperson recently accompanied the vice president to France, where she made more news, and sparked criticism, the choice of Harris to buy an expensive French pot to dedicate to her husband, Doug Emhoff, passionate about cooking.
