No wonder Kamala Harris is miffed.

You’d be miffed too if your boss gave his private phone number to an outsider instead of to you.

That’s what Joe Biden did when he gave it to Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on the eve of Hurricane Milton landing on the Florida coast.

Adding insult to injury, Biden did it when Harris, in desperate search of for an issue — any issue — could not even get DeSantis on the phone.

Making Vice President Harris look as though she were out to lunch, President Biden even praised DeSantis for doing “a good job” in preparing for Milton, just as he did with Helene, the warmup hurricane to Milton.

Biden, who has canceled a planned trip to Germany and Africa to deal with Hurricane Milton, told the press, “The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he’s gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday and I said, ‘I know you’re doing a great job. It’s all being done well. We thank you for it.’”

Then Biden added, “And I literally gave [him] my personal number to call.”

Which had to make Harris wonder if Biden is all that enthusiastic over Harris becoming president in the wake of the cabal, led by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, to throw him under the bus.

Biden has watched Harris on one day support the policies of his administration, only to have Harris talk about “turning the page” on the next day

With less than a month to go in the campaign, Harris wasted a couple of days in the news cycle attacking DeSantis, who is not her opponent, over the hurricane phone call than she did going after Trump, who is.

Had Harris shown real concern in helping people following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and the monstrous Hurricane Milton, she could have gotten Biden to name her his hurricane point person — like hurricane czar.

That would have given Harris official standing in dealing with DeSantis and hurricanes, just as she had official standing on the border issue.

Either way, she has been left holding the bag on both issues.

Hurricane Phonegate began when a reporter on the tarmac asked Harris why DeSantis ignored her hurricane call.

“You know,” Harris answered in one of her long, word salad replies, “moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader says they’re going to put politics aide and put the people first.

“People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations, these are the height of emergency situations, is just utterly irresponsible and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship and instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.”

To which DeSantis, in effect, replied, “What the hell is she talking about?”

He said that he did not even know that Harris had called.

Not that it would have made much of a difference anyway because Harris, he said, “has no role in the process.”

DeSantis said, “I’ve been in touch with both FEMA and the President, as well as marshaling all our state agencies as well as marshaling all our state agencies and working to support our local communities.”

“She has no role in this,” he said, and never called before. While he has dealt with a number of storms, “she never contributed anything to any of these efforts.” He said it was “selfish” of her to now “blunder” into Hurricane Milton.

He accused Harris of playing political games because she was doing poorly in her campaign

“I don’t have time for political games. I’ve got people whose lives are on the line. I’ve got people whose homes and their possessions are on the line, and we are focused one hundred percent on that mission.”

Harris would be well advised  to campaign against Trump, not DeSantis. The danger is that on her current course, she will lose to both.
