   President Joe Biden promised he and Vice President Kamala Harris   
   would have a weekly working lunch at which they could hammer out   
   policy points and "build out an agenda." Biden and Harris have   
   only had two lunches together this year, RealClearPolitics   
   reported Thursday.   
      
   As vice president, Biden had weekly lunches with Barack Obama,   
   which he found "so important … that he carried over the   
   tradition to his own presidency." Biden said soon after he took   
   office that he "made the same deal with [Harris] that Barack and   
   I made."   
      
   That deal has not worked out as Biden planned. This year saw   
   only two Biden-Harris lunches: on February 8, as Biden was   
   deciding on a Supreme Court nominee, and on March 30, after   
   Biden's gaffe-packed trip to Warsaw in light of the Russian   
   invasion of Ukraine.   
      
   While the White House told RealClearPolitics the lunches "are   
   not the ultimate barometer of cooperation" between the president   
   and vice president, other reporting indicates that Biden and   
   Harris have a rocky relationship.   
      
   The few lunches Biden and Harris did have "lacked a real depth   
   of personal and political intimacy," Jonathan Martin and Alex   
   Burns wrote in their forthcoming book This Will Not Pass. The   
   book also reported that first lady Jill Biden blasted Harris on   
   the campaign trail, saying, "There are millions of people in the   
   United States. Why do we have to choose the one who attacked   
   Joe?"   
      
   Harris, who has received four doses of the COVID-19 vaccine,   
   tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. The White House issued   
   a report saying the vice president "has not been a close contact   
   to the president or first lady."
