A recent report claims that President Biden and Jill Biden's relationship with Vice President Kamala Harris and Doug Emoff has been strained since the vice president lost the election to President-elect Donald Trump.

According to sources, the relationship between the Bidens and the Harris family has been strained at times, despite appearances to the contrary.

After a week of intense pressure, Biden was forced to withdraw from the presidential race, leaving Harris to take his place at the top of the Democratic ticket. Despite being praised for his patriotism and heroism for stepping aside, Biden has since been criticized for not exiting the race sooner in the wake of Trump's victory.

According to two sources close to the first lady and Harris, Jill Biden has not been fond of Kamala Harris since she accused the president of opposing federally mandated busing policies during a Democratic debate in the 2020 election cycle.

HARRIS DISTANCES HERSELF FROM BIDEN LABELING TRUMP SUPPORTERS AS ‘GARBAGE’

According to the outlet, Andrew Bates, a spokesperson for the White House, and Kristen Allen, a spokesperson for the VP, stated that there were no tensions between them.

In the final weeks of the campaign, Harris' team was dismayed by the president's public appearances. Biden made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room in early October and later caused controversy by saying Trump supporters were "garbage," although the White House denied this was his intention.

Despite the president's withdrawal, Harris continued to defend him against criticisms regarding his age, fitness, and ability to serve.

According to a report from the Washington Post, Biden has expressed regret over dropping out of the race and believes he could have defeated Trump.

Biden has been cautious not to criticize Harris while privately telling aides that he believes he could have won, according to the Post.

The belief that Biden would have defeated Trump is not held by other White House aides close to him, according to a WSJ report.

Over the past few weeks, the work environment at the White House has been described as "exhausting" and "uninspiring" by staff members, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

Biden has also expressed regret over choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general, in addition to acknowledging other mistakes, including his debate performance, according to the Post.
