Kamala Harris hosts Elizabeth Warren for dinner after 2024 slight 

Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Elizabeth Warren broke bread on Tuesday in an apparent attempt at reconciliation after the progressive senator failed to give the VP a rousing endorsement as President Biden’s 2024 running mate.

The feud began in January, when Warren (D-Mass.) told a Boston radio station, “I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team,” when asked about her thoughts of Harris remaining Biden’s No. 2. 

Warren’s less than enthusiastic support for Harris apparently got back to the veep, and when the Massachusetts Democrat twice called to offer an apology, Harris refused to return her phone calls, according to CNN.

A Tuesday dinner party hosted by Harris at the US Naval Observatory – where she lives – sought to ease tensions between the two, according to a report. 

The banquet was attended by Warren and a bipartisan group of female senators, with invites having been sent out more than a month ago, according to the Hill. 

“No one was benefitting from this,” a person familiar with the beef told the news outlet. 

“They had to get rid of it,” the person added. 

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) tweeted a video of the dinner on Wednesday showing Warren, beverage in hand,  seated near Harris – with Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) in between the two.

“As usual, Kamala’s cheese puffs and personal chicken recipe were a big hit!” Stabenow said in another tweet about the dinner party. 

Warren released a statement after her January interview in an attempt to clear the air, stating that she “fully” supports the Biden/Harris ticket in 2024 and “never intended to imply otherwise.” 

A person close to the VP told CNN that her office found Warren’s remarks during the radio interview “pretty insulting” and emblematic of the disrespect shown toward Harris since taking office. 

A state Democratic Party chair expressed concerns about Harris’ poll numbers and Biden’s re-election chances, saying “right now, she seems to be an albatross.”

“She’s either going to be a liability or a help. And you better embrace her because it’s not like she’s going to be off the ticket,” the person told CNN
