The relationship between Kamala Harris' team and Joe Biden's White House has been increasingly fraught in the final weeks before Election Day, 10 people familiar with the situation tell Axios.

Why it matters: Biden's team wants Harris to win the election, but many senior Biden aides remain wounded by the president being pushed out of his re-election bid and are still adjusting to being in a supporting role on the campaign trail.

"They're too much in their feelings," one close Harris ally said of the president's team — a sentiment shared even by some White House aides.

Ed: The issue isn't that they're too much in their feelings. It's that both sides are filled with incompetents who can't even bother to coordinate on messaging. This isn't the first VP to run for president, for crying out loud.

NEW: Kamala Harris gives an astrology lesson during an interview with show host Roland S. Martin in North Carolina.

Brilliant.

Ed: WTF? Watch Roland Martin's face during this answer. I think he's asking WTF to himself.

It was announced earlier in the day that Baier would be taping and Fox would be airing an interview with Harris on Wednesday in what would mark her first ever formal sit down with Fox.

Trump did not take well to the news, but suggested that Harris had chosen her interlocutor “wisely.”

“Lyin’ Kamala Harris has wisely chosen Bret Baier, of FoxNews, to do a much needed interview, because he is considered to be ‘Fair & Balanced,’ though often very soft to those on the ‘cocktail circuit’ Left,” he wrote in a post on Truth Social. “I would have preferred seeing a more hard hitting journalist, but Fox has grown so weak and soft on the Democrats, constantly polluting the airwaves with unopposed Kamala Representatives, that it all doesn’t matter anymore. Hopefully, the people will understand on November 5th, and Early Voting. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Ed: Call this 'working the refs.' Trump has done interviews with Baier before, and Trump proposed a debate with Baier as co-moderator. Trump wants to pressure Baier into taking a tough line with Harris, but I don't think that's a stretch. Besides, practically any substantive question will end up looking tough for Harris.

Ed: I'd feel pretty good too if it turned out that my opponent committed plagiarism in her book on fighting crime.

Somebody hang this in the Louvre. The New York Times claims that I "seize[d] on" Kamala Harris's serial plagiarism. Admits later in the story that it is, in fact, plagiarism. And then calls noticing that fact "racist." pic.twitter.com/igfEpwP1h7

“This year, we face a choice of two candidates who are harming our communities here and our families and friends in our homelands,” the Arab American Political Action Committee said in a statement Monday. “We simply cannot give our votes to either Democrat Kamala Harris or Republican Donald Trump, who blindly support the criminal Israeli government led by far right extremists, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

The group said “neither candidate represents our hopes and dreams as Arab Americans” and both “have endorsed genocide in Gaza and war in Lebanon.”

AAPAC endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016 and has typically endorsed Democrats.

Ed: That's a pretty bad outcome for Harris and Biden after a year of pandering to the pro-Hamas fringe of the Democrat Party. To the extent it's a fringe at all.
