Just 28% of voters approve of the job Vice President Kamala Harris is doing, according to a recent poll from USA Today and Suffolk University. In comparison, President Biden’s approval rating is now 41%, and former Vice President Dick Cheney’s was 13% when he left office in 2009.
Also, “exasperation and dysfunction” is how President Biden’s team views Vice President Kamala Harris’ team, reports CNN, and the feelings are apparently mutual. Over the summer, Politico quoted a source who described Harris’ office as “not a healthy environment” and rife with dissent.
“Vice presidential ratings tend to follow presidents’ approval ratings. And so I think the fact that President Biden’s ratings have gone down has also been a drag on the vice president’s. By the same token, hers are running lower than his, and among some core democratic groups, significantly so,” says Joel Goldstein, professor of constitutional law emeritus at Saint Louis University and scholar of the American vice presidency.
He notes that the country is so polarized that the ceiling for these ratings is lower than in the past. “The two Bush presidents had ratings that were in the 80s or even 90s. … It’s hard to see that happening, given the fact that a significant number of Republican voters don't even think that President Biden and Vice President Harris won the election, notwithstanding all the evidence that they clearly did.”
When it comes to Republicans’ ads and messaging, how much of it is meant to damage Harris’ future political career?
“Ever since Biden designated then Senator Harris as his running mate, the Republicans and their co-partisans and supporters in the media have really been attacking her. … I think race and gender is part of it, but not the whole part of it,” says Goldstein.

So my theory it is a Ford-Nixon-Agnew scenario I posted here probably in January wasn't that crazy after all. I knew they'd get rid of her and we get POTUS Holder or Jarrett aka my 1st 2 pic's. Budageegee would check off the boxes for sure...
Exactly. I think Harris is holding up matters by not cooperating.
She eventually will get an Arkanicide invitation.
