“#Kamala Harris is utterly flubbing her job as veep<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Kamala Harris isn\u2019t very good at this. The vice president has never won an election on her own outside of the hothouse of California politics, and it shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On paper, she was a strong contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. Once the campaign started, she flip-flopped on health\u00a0issues and couldn\u2019t take a punch from Tulsi Gabbard. Harris flopped out of the race before the voting began. At the time, she was polling at 3 percent nationally and 7 percent in the Golden State.<\/p>\n

Nominee Joe Biden got backed into putting her on the ticket even after she effectively called him a segregationist in a nationally televised debate. He had promised a female running mate. Then, after the George Floyd \u00adriots, he came under public pressure to pick a black woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amy Klobuchar pulled out of the veepstakes, saying that a white woman shouldn\u2019t accept the job. There was only one black woman among the nation\u2019s Democratic senators and governors. Guess who got the call?<\/p>\n

Harris was hardly a big asset on the campaign trail. Her convention speech was overshadowed by following Barack Obama\u2019s speech the same night. In her debate with Mike Pence, she spread mistrust of the COVID vaccines; she was barely visible otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 judgment is terrible. During the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, she was one of the senators pushing Michael Avenatti\u2019s lurid and swiftly discredited gang-rape yarn, which backfired on Dems.<\/p>\n

Polls regularly show that more voters disapp<\/a>rove of Harris than approve of her. Only Pence\u2019s \u00adapproval ratings were that bad at this point among modern vice presidents, but Pence was more popular than then-President Donald Trump at the time. He was likely dragged down by his boss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harris is polling this badly at a point when President Biden is still enjoying a more traditional honeymoon period with voters. This is all on her. The polling news<\/a> only gets worse when you look at how badly she polls with independent voters, or track how many people have strongly unfavorable opinions of her.<\/p>\n

Besides being bad at politics, she is bad at governing. In California, she pushed a policy to force nonprofit groups to turn over their donor lists to the state. She mishandled it so badly that the Supreme Court ruled against her after a vast array of her own political allies filed briefs saying that her policy had violated their First Amendment rights. Even the Biden administration\u2019s legal brief threw her under the bus.<\/p>\n

Everything Harris has touched in the vice presidency has been a fiasco. She scrambled to backtrack when Biden made her the face of the administration\u2019s border policy, \u00adensnaring her in weeks of \u00adembarrassing efforts to answer when she would visit the border. Her lame excuse to NBC\u2019s Lester Holt: \u201cI haven\u2019t been to Europe,\u201d either.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On a trip to Central America, she tried to talk tough on immigration \u2014 \u201cDo not come,\u201d she declared, in terms that she would have \u00addenounced as heartless and worse coming from Trump \u2014 while the president of Guatemala reminded her that people were coming because of her administration\u2019s own messages.<\/p>\n

Harris has faced a barrage of bad press even from outlets like CNN that typically lavish Democrats with praise. Those \u00adreports often deliver barbs from sources inside the administration who obviously loathe and disdain Harris. CNN reported that her team had been in a \u201cpanic\u201d over the border assignment. A Politico report based on interviews with 22 current and former staffers detailed the dysfunctional and unhealthy \u00adatmosphere on Harris\u2019s staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One former Harris staffer \u00adreportedly forwarded that \u00adreport to the staffer\u2019s therapist, commenting, \u201cRarely in life are we publicly vindicated.\u201d The White House was compelled to go into damage-control mode to defend her with the press.<\/p>\n

The latest news is that a group of high-powered Democratic women, led by a prominent public-relations specialist, gathered over dinner to strategize how to rehabilitate the vice president\u2019s public image. That is general<\/a>ly not a sign that things are going well.<\/p>\n

Democrats in 2024 may have a Joe Biden problem. Biden is visibly slowed already, and he will be 82 by then. But they might prefer that to having a Kamala Harris problem on top of the ticket. We should all hope for Biden\u2019s good health in the meantime.<\/p>\n
