On November 21, local time, US Transportation Secretary Buttigieg clarified rumors of intra-party competition with US Vice President Harris, and said that both sides currently have "no time to be involved in the language game."

According to the US political news website Politico reported on the 21st, Buttigieg participated in the NBC TV show "Meet with the Media" on the 21st, and when asked if there was any party competition with Harris, he responded, "(We) don't have time to be involved in the language game, and I am proud to be a member of the Biden-Harris team." Buttigieg said that when each member of the government undertakes "projects and legislation of intergenerational significance," there is no room for competition. "We belong to a disciplined team, and we are all too busy to take care of it (speculation from the outside world)." He said.

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency reported on the 22nd, recently, a former aide who did not want to be named Harris said that due to the lack of external comments and polls, the White House is marginalizing Harris, and at the same time endorsing the Minister of Transport Buttigieg. The democratic future leader candidate has become the center of the conversation, and since both Harris and Buttigieg are running for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential election, they are likely to engage in another party struggle in 2024.

CNN quoted sources as saying on the 17th that Harris "currently has an unstable relationship with certain departments of the White House." White House press secretary Psaki responded on the 17th that Harris is the first woman to serve as vice president of the United States, and at the same time a woman of color, which is the reason why she has been "attacked by some out-of-range".
