Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly expressing discontent with the news coverage surrounding her performance as the nation's second-highest office holder, citing her race and gender.
According to a piece by The New York Times, Harris has been privately complaining to her allies that the media's coverage of her would be better if she were any of her 48 White male predecessors,

The Times' piece, which focused on Harris' struggle to "define herself" within the Biden White House, noted that she held no "headlining role" when it came to some of the administration's most difficult decisions

The Times noted Harris' historically low approval rating
[snip]
she was reaching out to prominent figures like Hillary Clinton to help determine her future direction.

"She also has confided in them [staff] about the difficulties she is facing with the intractable issues in her portfolio, such as voting rights and the root causes of migration."

The Times also expanded on the counsel [Hillary] Clinton gave Harris about being in her position as a woman in politics.
[snip]
The Times added that the two speak over the phone every few months and Clinton has visited Harris in her office.

Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., also defended Harris to The Times, claiming there was a double standard that went further than Harris' gender.
"I know, and we all knew, that she would have a difficult time because anytime you’re a ‘first,’ you do,’" Bass said. "And to be the first woman vice president, to be the first Black, Asian woman, that’s a triple. So we knew it was going to be rough, but it has been relentless, and I think extremely unfair."
Bass added that she thought Harris was already the front-runner to be the next Democratic presidential nominee, despite it not being immediately clear if Biden planned to run for reelection in 2024.

She cries to weak friends that sympathize.
Hillary, Pete, Karen all gunning for her political demise, support her publicly.
Her name is Kamala Harris, and she is Vice President in case anyone was confused.
She’s pathetic.
Then she should identify as a white man as gender and race are but a construct.
If she was a white man shed be booted for all that sexual harassment etc ...
She wouldn’t have a job if she was white.
Her only qualification is her skin color.
And she had poor reviews because she’s an idiot.
So, she is saying that white men, any and all white men, are more competent and qualified than she? That is a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. Close enough.
Yeah, Kommie-la . . . just ask Donald Trump about that. . . .
They treat this bungling fille de joie better than they treat white man Lunchbox Joe.
And they’re covering him as if he were their dear old addled grandpa.
Ms. Harris, I wish you would worry more about American citizens and less about your press clippings.
No Kamala, your coverage would be better if you shut the F up and did your job.
Yeah because Trump and but znd Reagan all got marvelously sympathetic coverage from the msm
Apparently she thinks that When all else fails, it’s time to whine about racism I guess
You were given the border and chose to do nothing, Heels.
No Kamala, the reason you get bad press is you are incompetent. You are massively under-qualified and ill-prepared for the position you were installed into.
LOL - if she were a white man, she’d still be stuck in the SF DA’s office as a mid-level functionary.
She’s not only maxed out her “black, female and woke” political credit card, she’s got a double-mortgage, HELOC and stock margin loan as well.
Harris wants Fake press to go with her Fake VP job
She would not be usurping the office of Vice President if she were a white man.
She is only there because of her dark skin from her Indian mother and that fact that she is female.
Oh ya.... she has to pull the “race” card cuz she can’t explain being so incompetent!
She was ONLY selected because of her skin color and gender , NOT because she was qualified .
And now she’s complaining .
