Harris still struggling to define herself one year in VP job

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden put the full weight of his presidency behind voting rights action last week, heading to Capitol Hill in an effort to push Democrats to change Senate rules to pass legislation.

Vice President Kamala Harris — whom Biden tapped to take the lead on passing voting rights legislation in June — wasn’t there.

Both White House press secretary Jen Psaki and Harris aides had no clear answer when asked why the vice president didn’t join Biden in the meeting.

It was yet another example of the difficulty Harris has faced throughout her first year in office, as she’s struggled to define herself and her role.

Harris has grappled with an expansive portfolio of difficult assignments, fielded questions about her relationship with the president and faced what allies say is unprecedented scrutiny for a vice president — without, some worry, adequate support from the White House.

Indeed, Harris’ aides say privately that the vice president is careful not to get ahead of the president, never wanting to take credit for the administration’s successes.

Harris’ aides say that she has played an active role in some of the president’s toughest policy choices, including his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan.

Shocking, a token can’t do their job? Never seen that before (rolling eyes)...

What is truly shocking is old mattress is playing second fiddle to, literally, a walking vegetable, and still can’t outshine him.

Really. Anyone who is overwhelmed by the VP job is spectacularly incompetent.

Yes, if she took credit for all those stunning successes, she'd be anointed the first female Pope, which might embarrass Joe.

Pretty sure we can rule out wisdom as a defining trait.

Here’s Wikipedia’s definition of Kamala: Slut is generally a term for a person, usually a woman or girl, who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous. It is usually used as an insult, sexual slur or offensive term of disparagement.

Sounds pretty accurate to me.

CarpetKneesKamala isn’t “struggling” for anything. She’s resting on her lauras. If she’s putting forth any effort at all, it’s from spiking the punch, I mean the football. She’s going to be SOMETHING. All she has to do is wait. But let’s just keep making fun of her and downplaying the serious threat she poses to our Constitutional Republic, okay mouseketeers?

“I doubt if she’s losing any sleep over it...”

You are right. Losing sleep in bed is how she got there.
