SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

THE SINKING SHIP – FROM FOX:   Symone Sanders, a senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris and her chief spokesperson, will depart at the end of the year.  "Symone has served honorably for 3 years," a White House official told Fox News. "First as a valuable member of the President‘s 2020 presidential campaign, then as a member of his transition team and now deputy assistant to the President and senior advisor/chief spokesperson to the Vice President."  The White House official also told Fox News that President Biden and Harris "are grateful for Symone’s service and advocacy" and said she "will be missed."  The official said Sanders will be "working through the end of the year."  She's the second major adviser to leave Harris in the last three weeks.  Harris is polling at 28% approval, and may well have to fight to stay on the 2024 ticket.  She is becoming toxic.  She never improves.  To get to know her is to dislike her more.  There is talk of retiring her to the Supreme Court, should there be an opening.  But would the Senate actually confirm Kamala Harris, the Edsel of American politics?
