If named as the party nominee, Harris, 59, would take over money raised by the Biden campaign and inherit campaign infrastructure, the sources said. The Biden campaign deferred to Harris's team for comment on the story. "Vice President Harris looks forward to serving a second term with President Joe Biden," a statement from her office said. As recently as last year, many inside the White House and the Biden campaign privately worried she was a liability for the campaign. The vice president has also been consistently targeted by Republicans and conservative media in attacks many allies consider sexist and racist.
