Kamala Harris’ team reportedly worried about ‘messy’ 2024 fight with Pete Buttigieg – By Eric Ting (SFGate) / Oct 29 2021
If President Joe Biden does not run for re-election in 2024 (he will turn 81 in November 2023), it is widely expected that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the Democratic Party nominee.
However, it seems that those close to Harris are bracing for a more-difficult-than-expected presidential primary.
Business Insider reported Friday that Team Harris expects a “difficult, messy” primary in which she would likely face off against Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose donors are reportedly urging him to run for president again if Biden steps aside.
A former Harris staffer told Business Insider of the vice president, “I don’t think she’s got a stranglehold on the party,” and “I don’t think it’s like Al Gore for Bill Clinton.”
