Itâs a game of political hide and seek.
Democratic insiders are still stinging from losing the election to Donald Trump â and view Kamala Harris as a political âWhereâs Waldoâ whoâs gone âMIA,â they say.
âSheâs MIA!â groused one Democratic insider to Page Six of Harris.
The political source added Harrisâ husband âDoug [Emhoff] is telling people sheâs the leader of the party, but there is a clear lack of leadership.â
âThe person you just spent $2 billion on trying to elect? Iâm glad sheâs having a good time going to a musical, and being repped by CAA,â said the insider, but, âthis whole strategy of âdo not do anything, or say anything,â thatâs not the kind of leadership the world needs right now.â
Last month Harris signed with CAA, and saw âA Wonderful Worldâ and âGypsyâ on Broadway.
(Another source told us of Harris, and Joe Biden whoâs also repped by the Hollywood power agency, âI donât think bookings for them are through the roof.â)
The first source said theyâre not a fan of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who just launched a podcast, but, âat least heâs out there doing stuff.â With Harris, âIt shows how kind of old the thinking is. Like, âWell Iâm not going to run [for governor] for a year and a half, so Iâll go away.â
The source said, âOne of her problems is that sheâs the most risk-averse person on the planet. Thatâs one of the reasons she lost,â including too few interviews. âThere was nothing to peel the onion back for people.â
A new Telegraph opinion piece said of the election, âAnother failure was Kamala Harrisâ avoidance of new media forms,â and, a donor groused to the San Francisco Standard, âThis was such a gut punch of an election for so many Democratic donors â not to mention an expensive gut punch. A number of the people Iâve talked to were just like, âWhat the fâk did I burn all that money for?ââ
But a source familiar with the veep points out she appeared at the NAACP Image Awards, is fund-raising for the DNC and talking to federal and state leaders.
âSheâs talking to folks, not running around trying to get press,â said the insider, adding that followers are âeager to support her and theyâre giving her spaceâ to make her next move.
