Kamala Harris abruptly canceled her planned trip to Los Angeles late Thursday, opting instead to remain in Washington, D.C., as Joe Biden unexpectedly returned to the White House.
The sudden change in schedules has fueled speculation about a growing crisis in the Biden regime as it faces mounting challenges, including the possibility of a government shutdown.
Kamala, who was scheduled to depart from Washington at 9: 15 PM ET for a late-night arrival in Los Angeles, canceled her trip midday without providing specifics.
The White House issued a terse press release confirming her decision, stating only that Kamala would stay in Washington to receive briefings and hold internal meetings, all closed to the press.

Meanwhile, Biden was escorted back to the White House after spending time in Wilmington, Delaware, where he attended a memorial service for his late ex-wife and daughter.
His return comes amid heightened tension over a looming government shutdown, with congressional Democrats and Republicans deadlocked over a critical spending bill.

Biden is facing increasing backlash for what some have called a “quiet quitting” approach to leadership during a fiscal crisis that could disrupt government operations days before Christmas.
The White House’s silence on the reasons behind Harris’s change of plans and Biden’s abrupt return has done little to quiet critics. Social media is buzzing with speculation about the looming government shutdown, briefings on Hurricane Helene, as well as the possibility of Harris assuming the presidency sooner than anticipated.
