It seemed like an all-around politically losing assignment even though Biden had seen it as a sign of respect because it was the same job Obama had given him as vice president.As CNN has previously reported, Harris herself has said she didn\u2019t want to be assigned to manage the border, aware that it was a no-win political situation that would only sandbag her in the future. But Biden\u2019s team was annoyed that Harris fumbled answers about the border, including when she gave an awkward, laughing response about not visiting it during a spring interview with NBC\u2019s Lester Holt. As some around Harris see it, the White House failed to come to her defense.The report also claimed that Harris, who currently had a 28% approval rating in one recent poll, had complained that she was not being supported enough.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
