Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a meeting on voting rights at the TCF Center in Detroit, Mich., on July 12, 2021.AP Photo/Andrew Harnik Turnover in Harris' office is being driven by burnout and worries of being labeled a "Harris person," per Axios. For months, the vice president has battled the narrative that her office has been dysfunctional. She has seen the departure of several aides this year — notably senior advisor Symone Sanders. The ongoing staff turnover in Vice President Kamala Harris' office is being driven by burnout, a desire for more fruitful opportunities, and apprehension to being labeled a "Harris person," according to an Axios report.This past week saw the announcement of the impending departure from Symone Sanders, the rising-star senior advisor and chief spokesperson for Harris who was previously a senior advisor for now-President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign, as well as a Washington Post report detailing the expected exits of Peter Velz, the director of press operations, and Vince Evans, the deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs in Harris' office.Last month, news broke that Ashley Etienne, Harris' communications director, would also be leaving the office.For Harris — the first female, first Black, and first Indian American to hold the vice presidency — the narrative of an office is disarray is something that her allies feel can be overcome through a "reset," according to Axios.The stakes for the vice president are incredibly high.
