President Joe Biden’s historically unpopular White House earned a new nickname from critics on Monday.
Move over, Brandon administration — and welcome to the Brandon-Heather administration.
Vice President Kamala Harris was introduced as Heather Kurtenbach, an ironworkers union leader, during the signing of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan.
“Please welcome Heather Kurtenbach,” the White House announcer said.
“Not yet,” Harris said with an awkward laugh.
The moment was especially odd because it was Kurtenbach — not Harris — who later introduced the president.
It’s the latest example of the misalignment between the Harris team and the Oval Office. Tensions have been rising between the two camps inside the White House since Biden was inaugurated in January, and have reached a boiling point according to CNN.
Even during the bipartisan ceremony, Biden almost signed the infrastructure bill without Harris, who struggled to push her way to the front of the crowd of elected officials.
The White House has denied reports that Biden and Harris’ working relationship has downgraded and that the vice president has been pushed to the sidelines.
On Sunday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki released the following statement on social media —
For anyone who needs to hear it. @VP is not only a vital partner to @POTUS but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country—from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband.

Do you buy it?
Or is it just more lies from the Brandon-Heather administration?
Is Psaki right?
