And if he does, I will be running with him,\u201d Harris told reporters on board the Philippines Coast Guard ship Teresa Magbanua as she finished up a news-free trip to Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Harris touted the Biden administration\u2019s record, telling the media, \u201cI have no doubt about the strength of the work that we have done over these past two years.\u201d Well, tell that to the 64% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>And she tried to say spending another couple trillion dollars would solve everything. \u201cWe have delivered unprecedented relief for the American people during the pandemic,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have passed an infrastructure law that many are talking about \u2014 we actually did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Harris is wildly unpopular, even among the party faithful. And one very liberal news site this week said if Biden \u2014 who turned 80 over the weekend \u2014 really does go again, he oughta\u2019 bail on Kamala and pick someone else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Joe Biden weighs a run for re-election even as he becomes the first octogenarian U.S. president in history, he should think back on what it was like to watch the Harris campaign flame out,\u201d Slate <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2022\/11\/kamala-harris-joe-biden-new-vp-2024.html\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA second Biden term would mean even higher stakes for a vice-presidential pick\u2014not only because Biden is older than he was the first time around, but because the VP serving when he leaves could be the de facto frontrunner in the [2028] Democratic primary. Harris, a proven dud of a presidential candidate who has done little to distinguish herself since, is not a good choice for the Democrats\u2019 top billing. For his second term, should he seek one (he shouldn\u2019t!), Biden should tap someone else,\u201d the mag said.<\/p>\n<p>According to RealClearPolitics, Harris has a 40% approval rating and a whopping 54% disapproval rating, the Los Angeles Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/projects\/kamala-harris-approval-rating-polls-vs-biden-other-vps\/\">reported<\/a> last week. Compared to her predecessors, Harris is faring far worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the country has become more partisan, vice presidents have been less likely to enjoy broad support among the public. Pence, for example, had a net favorability of roughly zero for much of his four years in the White House. Joe Biden, Dick Cheney and Al Gore all began their tenures with higher ratings than Harris currently enjoys,\u201d the Times wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is unpopular in large part for her inattentiveness to the U.S. southern border, a task Biden assigned her in the early days of his administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter becoming vice president, Harris was asked to lead the administration\u2019s response to the contentious issue of immigration. Her handling of the topic has been criticized, which some observers link to her approval rating sinking at a greater rate than Biden\u2019s thus far,\u201d said the Times.<\/p>\n<p>That has led some to say Biden should just run away from her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, it doesn\u2019t much matter why Harris\u2019s public favor has fallen,\u201d Slate wrote. \u201cEven though her bad polling numbers are not entirely her fault, for a variety of substantive reasons, she is not the rising political star she was initially made out to be. And an aging, past-his-prime statesman\u2014especially one as disliked as Biden\u2014needs the momentum of a rising star.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats know this. They are already worried about it. I\u2019ll leave it to them to decide who should replace Harris and how she could transition out of the job. (Would a Cabinet position do the trick?) At this point, almost any of the people who have been named as possible successors to Biden would be a better pick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Harris cares about the future of the Democratic agenda, she should gracefully step aside. The vice presidency is a valuable mechanism for soft-launching future presidential hopefuls. Democrats cannot waste it on a candidate who has already failed to launch,\u201d Slate wrote.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
