The article at times hinted that Kamala Harris was being failed by the broader administration.\u201cMany in the vice president\u2019s circle fume that she\u2019s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined,\u201d CNN reported. Furthermore, Biden \u201cdeprived her of an important aspect of presidential apprenticeship\u201d by excluding her from so many meetings on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that she once dropped in unannounced. \u201cMany of those close to her feel like he\u2019s shirking his political duties to promote her, and essentially setting her up to fail.\u201dHer defenders told CNN that Harris faces \u201coutsized scrutiny and no forgiveness for even small errors,\u201d because of \u201cundeniable structural issues of race and gender.\u201dYet the article also notes that the Democratic National Committee hired \u201ca contract consultant\u201d to assist Harris, and that she has only used the consultant\u2019s services to respond to bad media, doing nothing \u201cproactive\u201d to improve her image or presentation.Harris has been the source of a number of embarrassing moments for an administration already led by a gaffe-prone president:At a March 26 event, Kamala Harris laughed at parents whose children are barred from in-person schooling, quipping that parents are finally \u201cseeing the value of educators\u201d;She told NBC News\u2019 Lester Holt that she had already visited the border, prompting him to correct her. \u201cYou haven\u2019t been to the border,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I haven\u2019t been to Europe,\u201d she replied; andHarris has couched her party\u2019s opposition to popular voter integrity measures, such as requiring a photo ID at the polls, on the grounds that it\u2019s \u201calmost impossible\u201d for rural people to find a photocopier.After the CNN story was published, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki swung into action behind the vice president, tweeting on Sunday: \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 \u2014 from voting rights to addressing root causes of migration to expanding broadband.\u201dHarris has replaced Dick Cheney as the most unpopular vice president in the history of polling, according to Business Insider.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
