The vice president, who chairs the administration&#8217;s National Space Council, was at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to witness the launch. She later wrote\u00a0on social media that, &#8220;While we hoped to see the launch of Artemis I today, the attempt provided valuable data as we test the most powerful rocket in history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>POLITICO had previewed the &#8220;big day for Harris&#8221; in its Playbook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/playbook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newsletter<\/a>. &#8220;There have occasionally been snickers about the fact that the VP chairs the administration\u2019s National Space Council,&#8221; wrote reporters Ryan Lizza and Eugene Daniels. &#8220;What exactly does she do in that role anyway? Well, today the potential upside of that curious assignment will take center stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alas, like most endeavors involving Harris in recent years, the launch failed. The Biden-Harris ticket was a success, to be sure, but only after Harris tried to run for president herself and ended up <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/officer-down-kamala-harris-drops-out-of-2020-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quitting<\/a> before the Iowa caucuses. Her performance as vice president has been so <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/biden-old-harris-busted-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">underwhelming<\/a> that many Democrats do not want her to be the party&#8217;s nominee in 2024 if Biden steps down.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the administration&#8217;s best efforts to find a leadership role for Harris\u2014if only to help pad her r\u00e9sum\u00e9\u2014it has become increasingly clear that Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/kamala-harris-leadership-fail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doesn&#8217;t really want to be in charge of anything<\/a>. Which is just as well, because she&#8217;s not very good at being in charge. That might have something to do with the fact that members of her staff <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/15\/kamala-harris-staff-exodus-continues-as-top-adviser-speechwriter-leave-posts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keep leaving<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After Biden tapped his VP to lead the administration&#8217;s response to the immigration crisis on the U.S. southern border, Harris proceeded to embarrass herself by refusing to visit the border and <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/kamala-harris-border-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laughing about it<\/a> when asked.\u00a0&#8220;This whole thing about the border. We&#8217;ve been to the border. We&#8217;ve been to the border,&#8221; Harris told NBC&#8217;s Lester Holt, who corrected her by pointing out that she had not been to the border. &#8220;And I haven&#8217;t been to Europe,&#8221; Harris cackled. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand the point that you&#8217;re making.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shortly thereafter, Harris was tasked with leading the Democratic Party&#8217;s push for so-called voting rights legislation, which ultimately fizzled. <em>New York Times<\/em> reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns noted in their book, <em>This Will Not Pass<\/em>, that Harris attended several meetings with activists but declined to reach out to\u00a0Sens. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) and Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), whose votes were critical to getting legislation through the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Harris was named chair of the National Space Council in May 2021, but it wasn&#8217;t long before she embarrassed herself in that role by appearing in a bizarre video discussing the wonders of &#8220;exploring the unknown&#8221; with a group of children who were later revealed to be paid <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/10\/12\/kamala-harris-bizarre-space-video-uses-child-actors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">child actors<\/a>. &#8220;To think about so much that&#8217;s out there that we still have to learn, like, I love that,&#8221; she rambled as the children feigned excitement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-3 text-red font-serif text-xl md:text-4xl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/kamala-harris-deep-thoughts\/\"><strong>WATCH: Veep Thoughts With Kamala Harris (Vol. 1)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-3 text-red font-serif text-xl md:text-4xl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/veep-thoughts-kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WATCH: Veep Thoughts With Kamala Harris (Vol. 2)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-3 text-red font-serif text-xl md:text-4xl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/kamala-harris-veep-thoughts-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WATCH: Veep Thoughts With Kamala Harris (Vol. 3)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden Administration National Space Council chairwoman&#8217;s &#8216;big day&#8217; ruined as momentous launch postponed due to engine trouble  Andrew Stiles \u2022 August 29, 2022 5:10 pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1625950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1625950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1625950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1625950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1625950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
