Top Travel Aides for Kamala Harris Are Quitting, and Their Departure Could Hardly Come at a Worse Time

As Julio and Katie have covered, Vice President Kamala Harris' trip to the southern border has certainly had its fair share of pitfalls.

The administration must not only deal with that, but the news that two of the vice president's travel officials are quitting, as Annie Karni and Katie Rogers reported for The New York Times.

They began their piece by noting the officials, Karly Satkowiak, the director of advance, and Gabrielle DeFranceschi, are "Leaving the vice president with her critical support staff in flux as she seeks to ramp up travel ahead of big vaccine and voting rights pushes she is planning through July.".

The vice president was photographed wearing a mask while meeting with Border Patrol agents, despite having been fully vaccinated, months ago.

"A spokeswoman for Ms. Harris said the departures were long planned and that both women are currently engaged with finding their replacements," Karni and Rogers wrote.

During Harris' trip to Mexico earlier this month, someone dropped the ball and allowed an imposter to what one would think is a highly secure event, considering it's the vice president.

"The vice president's office, according to a person familiar with its hiring, is currently short on travel support staff, and the call for advance associates came as the administration has also been planning Ms. Harris's high-stakes trip to the southern border," according to Karni and Rogers.
