I think with the age thing, the VP becomes more important, and it\u2019s not necessarily to improve her, but to make her higher profile,\u201d said a former Democratic campaign official.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the Biden team\u2019s prior work to diminish Harris\u2019s profile, the Democrat added, \u201cI don\u2019t think there are any regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris was featured frequently in Biden\u2019s reelection launch video this week.

Hours after Biden launched his campaign, Harris spoke at a political event focused on reproductive rights, where she was greeted with chants of \u201cfour more years.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But while Harris\u2019s allies are keen to promote her as a boost to the campaign, Republicans appear just as eager to frame her as a drag on the ticket, especially through the lens of Biden\u2019s age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for Joe Biden, you really are counting on a President Harris, because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely,\u201d Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut really, are we willing to say we\u2019re OK with a President Kamala Harris?\u201d Haley asked.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Her comments underscore a looming balancing act for the Biden campaign: How to reassure voters about Harris when she is just a heartbeat away from the presidency without elevating her too much and drawing more attention to the issue of Biden\u2019s age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course the Biden campaign is not going to make Harris more prominent, because they\u2019re not going to want to send a signal that Harris is more important, because something might happen to Biden in office,\u201d said Danny Hayes, a political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> professor at George Washington University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVoters are still voting first and foremost for or against Biden, not Harris,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Harris entered the 2020 presidential race as a top-tier candidate for the nomination. But her campaign was plagued by personnel and messaging issues, and perhaps her most notable moment was a clash with Biden on the debate stage over student busing policy.<\/p>\n<p>In her first year as vice president, Harris faced criticism over frequent staffing turnover and her handling of migration from Central America, a complex issue Biden tasked her with leading. Harris became a punching bag for Republicans who blamed her for problems at the southern border, and she drew criticism from Democrats when she told migrants not to come to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019s favorability rating has hovered in the low 40 percent range for much of her time as vice president. A Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> poll published this week showed her favorability rating at 41 percent, including 73 percent among Democrats. The same poll put Biden\u2019s favorability at 44 percent.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Harris has seemingly found her footing over the past year, leading the administration\u2019s fight against abortion restrictions in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. In recent weeks she made high-profile <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>s to Africa and Tennessee, the latter coming after three Democratic state lawmakers were targeted for expulsion over gun violence protests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is an effort to lift her up around the apparatus, but the other part of it is people are just now paying attention. She didn\u2019t just start traveling, she didn\u2019t just start lifting up these issues,\u201d a source close to the vice president\u2019s office told The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has also taken on issues related to foreign policy, climate and small businesses. Over a year ago, she started traveling two to three times a week, including on five overseas trips.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m actually thrilled to see her hitting a good groove, which to me sort of makes sense at this time of the presidential campaign. On abortion rights but also guns, you\u2019ve seen her step up in a way that we haven\u2019t up until this point,\u201d said David Thomas, a partner at Mehlman Consulting and former deputy director of legislative affairs for former Vice President Al Gore.<\/p>\n<p>Taking on those issues, especially reproductive rights, has elevated Harris\u2019s profile and required her to traverse the country and meet with local officials, which can all be an asset to the 2024 ticket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite what maybe people think of her inside the beltway, she really excites the Democratic base, and that\u2019s why we see her out in the country more often, talking to Democrats,\u201d Thomas said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>After Harris\u2019s challenges with staffing early on in the administration, she has brought on two top aides who her supporters say will be pivotal to her inner circle as the campaign picks up. Kelsey Smith, a longtime aide to former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was hired as director of scheduling and advice for the vice president in January, and Lorraine Voles just hit her one-year mark as chief of staff.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a belief Harris will be aided by the presence of Biden\u2019s campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who worked with Harris when she was a California senator and when she ran for president in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s got this challenge of how many reboots are they going do,\u201d said one Democratic strategist. \u201cFor Kamala, it\u2019s always going to come down to can she put a good team together and execute.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
