President Joe Biden has a problem, and her name is Kamala Harris. The vice president has become a comic figure in today’s Washington—a politician given to missteps and unforced errors who inspires neither loyalty nor trust within her inner circle. She might have been Biden’s safest pick for running mate. But now she’s a liability for both the president and the Democratic Party.
It’s not just that Harris is unpopular. Her unique combination of falsity and incompetence generates negative press and endangers her dreams of succeeding Biden. For Harris, the month of June has been an extended replay of highlights from Veep, the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a clueless and floundering politician on the make. Only Harris isn’t laughing.
Her favorability among registered voters is 7 points underwater in the latest Economist/YouGov survey. Biden’s approval, by contrast, is split even: 48 percent approve, and 48 percent disapprove. More worrisome for Harris is her "very unfavorable" rating. It’s at 40 percent. That’s 3 points higher than Biden’s number—and just 3 points short of Nancy Pelosi’s.
The reason for Harris’s unpopularity is no mystery. It’s her performance. She has a problem following through. She’s fine when working from a script, but she stumbles whenever she must improvise. The classic example came early in the 2020 campaign. Harris attacked Biden during a primary debate for opposing school busing in the 1970s. The moment went viral—and then evaporated. Harris couldn’t rebut Biden’s arguments against Medicare for All. She couldn’t withstand Tulsi Gabbard’s criticism of her record as California’s state attorney general. She didn’t make it past the first week of December 2019.

Well there’s that…not only unqualified ut a complete idiot…her father said as much…what did the rats expect from someone who climbed the political ladder by giving blowjobs…
I’m sorry, even though she was a typical flaming Liberal, I loved the HBO Series VEEP. It was very funny.
We’re in good hands.
She’s America’s Maduro. She will be POTUS and voters have no say in it.
Few disagree only her voters think she’s ok however they are in the same shape she’s in.
2 problems. 1. Her. 2. She’s from a Democrat dominated state where performance is not a factor and she can’t perform.
We have dumb and mentally incapacitated. Basically dumb and dumber.
There is a play on her name, in Spanish, that is very instructive.
“Que Mala” Harris looked a little odd at first, but “Que mala” roughly translates as “How Bad”. As in “How bad can it get?”
Might get into some pretty deep doo-doo before we realize the true extent of the pig in a poke we have bought.
Keep in mind, there has NEVER been a successful impeachment/removal from office of ANY President in the history of the US.
As a remedy for failed leadership, impeachment is ineffectual.
I liked it too. I think it was an accurate portrayal of DC political life.
the two most unpopular candidates in recent times didn't win the election anyway and they still got swarm in...
This is so much BS I can hardly stand it.
Commiela will be the Rat 2024 Nominee long before the Election and will most likely be running as the Incumbent POTUS.
Unless there is a complete overhaul of the Election process, they will make sure she wins, even of she doesn’t.
Val Demings, a Congresswoman from Florida, would have been a better choice if he was limited to black women. She was on TV as one of the House managers in the first faux-impeachment of President Trump. She's even a real African American, not someone with a smidgen of African ancestry via Jamaica.
>>who inspires neither loyalty nor trust within her inner circle<<
Very bold statement. How do we know all this?
Jill Biden will be the nominee, not Harris.
>>>Jill Biden will be the nominee, not Harris<<<
Stop it, you’re killing me. #;^)
I think it should be Mayor Bettlejuice. She’s a winner!
Inept? Understatement. 🤡
They got what they wanted, a black and female. Will the Demos suffer any fall out from this?
She’s certainly not well-liked by her staff, and I can imagine she’d be hell-on-wheels to work for. (The b-word comes to mind.) Just a few days ago the two (female) heads of her advance team both quit on the same day, probably in the wake of that disastrous Central American junket.
