According to sources, Harris is now being actively sidelined. Others said she\u2019s ill-prepared for any future role she could take, while some said her staff have failed her to this point.On Sunday evening, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki appeared to respond to the story, tweeting, \u201cFor anyone who needs to hear it. VP is not only a vital partner to POTUS but a bold leader who has taken on key, important challenges facing the country \u2013 from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband.\u201dThe Big PictureAs the approval ratings of Democratic leaders continue to drop, according to the latest data, Republican congressional candidates are holding their largest lead in midterm voting preferences in the last 40 years of ABC News\/Washington Post polls.\u00a0Nick Ut\/Contributor\/Getty Images3) Americans Disapprove of Biden\u2019s Immigration PoliciesThe Topline: Following a year in which unprecedented numbers of illegal immigrants crossed the southern border, new polling shows Americans\u2019 approval of President Joe Biden\u2019s handling of immigration policy is at a record low.\u00a0The NumbersA Harvard poll found only 35% of Americans approve of Biden\u2019s handling of the border \u2013 the lowest mark he receives on any policy issue. For context, during the summer months, 49 to 53% of Americans supported Biden\u2019s immigration policies.\u00a0Overall, there wasn\u2019t a single policy issue where Biden was above 50% approval.\u00a0The economy was at 40%, foreign affairs was at 39%, handling of crime was at 38% and only 36% of Americans say the country is on the right track.\u00a0Remember: President Biden maintained a softer tone on immigration throughout his campaign, and essentially promised to loosen things at the border once he took office.\u00a0The Harvard poll found 68% of voters want to see stricter immigration laws to stem the flow of illegal immigrants, while 65% say Biden\u2019s policies have directly encouraged people to come to the U.S. illegally. 71% of Americans say those who cross the border illegally should be deported.\u2018Remain In Mexico\u2019 Policy UpdateUnder the Trump-era \u2018Remain In Mexico\u2019 policy, migrants who were detained at the border were sent back to Mexico while they waited for their court dates in the United States.The Biden administration tried to rescind the order last month, but federal courts said they didn\u2019t have the power to do so. But two weeks ago, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released a longer, more detailed memo saying the Biden administration would be making another attempt at rescinding the order.\u00a0Public Opinion: In the Harvard poll, 67% of Americans said Biden was wrong to try and rescind the \u2018Remain In Mexico\u2019 policy.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
