| Natasha Korecki, Jonathan Allen and Lauren Egan of NBC News have a long story looking at tensions between the Biden White House and Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison. Things have gotten so bad that Harrison is reported to be contemplating quitting the job ahead of the midterms:
Harrison is frustrated, isolated and trapped in a job he long thought he wanted, according to party insiders, a dynamic driven by escalating tensions with the White House over his role. Key decisions for the committee are made by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jen O’Malley Dillon, who speaks frequently with other DNC officials but only about three times a month by Zoom with Harrison. The limits of his influence are a source of agitation for Harrison, according to several people who have spoken to him. . . . Harrison has been frustrated enough to consider an escape route to depart before the midterms . . . according to two people with knowledge of the situation. But Harrison . . . can’t make any move that would be perceived as harmful to the party or the president . . .
NBC News spoke with more than two dozen current and former DNC officials, White House officials, fundraisers, donors and Democrats in touch with the White House, who nearly universally described a strained relationship between the White House and Harrison.
There are four possible takeaways here, depending upon how you look at this story. More than one can be true.
