With President Joe Biden enjoying \u200dsome time at the beach, the vice president is stepping up \u2063her game, delivering a\u200c series of \u2063engaging speeches and taking aim at Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL).<\/p>\n<h3>A Forceful Presence<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m here in Florida, and\u200b I \u2064will tell you\u2062 there is\u200c no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept \u2064to debate an undeniable fact,&#8221; Harris boldly declared during a Tuesday appearance in Orlando. &#8220;There were no redeeming qualities of slavery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While critics have accused Harris of lacking energy and \u200cstaying off message, some\u2064 even using\u200b her potential ascent to the presidency as a reason not to vote for Biden, she has recently become \u200cmuch\u2064 more assertive. She has\u2062 engaged in battles with top GOP contender\u2062 DeSantis and has filled the void left by the president\u200b with a week of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-steps-into-the-spotlight-with-biden-at-the-beach\/\" title=\"Harris shines alongside Biden at the beach.\">high-profile speaking \u200bengagements<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They\u200c want to replace history with lies,&#8221; she passionately stated during a speech in Jacksonville last week, where she \u200dalso criticized the state&#8217;s \u200dgovernor. &#8220;Middle\u200c school \u2064students in Florida are being told that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-harris-attacks-extremists-in-florida-after-desantis-education-fight\/\" title=\"Kamala Harris criticizes Florida extremists amid DeSantis education clash.\">enslaved people benefited<\/a> from slavery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although detractors argue that Harris&#8217;s comments are based on a single point in a semester-long course and that she had previously\u2062 praised \u2062similar courses, her speech made a significant impact. Even \u2063prominent\u2062 Republicans, \u200cincluding Senator Tim Scott \u200b(R-SC) and Representative Byron Donalds \u200d(R-FL), both \u200bblack \u200clawmakers, echoed her concerns.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis responded by dismissing the attacks as misinformed and inviting Harris to Florida \u2062for a discussion on\u200d the state&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-suggests-top-black-academic-behind-floridas-curriculum-is-lying-about-african-american-history\/\" title=\"Harris implies key black academic in Florida's curriculum is dishonest about African American history.\">black history standards<\/a> with one of the\u2064 educators involved in their creation.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, however, did not back down. She returned to Florida, where she once again criticized DeSantis before a cheering church convention in Orlando and firmly stated that she would not engage in \u2062a debate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This seems to be the undercard to the Biden-Trump fight \u2014 Harris vs. DeSantis,&#8221; commented\u200d Jim Clark, a professor at the\u2064 University of Central Florida. &#8220;It appears\u200d that the\u200d administration has tasked her with jabbing at DeSantis, who always fights back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Harris&#8217;s recent remarks about \u2063DeSantis \u200care not the only attention-grabbing moments she\u2062 has had. She also stepped in to defend her boss against \u200cimpeachment \u200dtalk, dismissing it as mere political games and asserting that she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michigan-gov-whitmers-lead-falls-as-election-day-nears\/\" title=\"Michigan Gov. Whitmer's Lead Falls as Election Day Nears\">enjoys high approval ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Her \u200cschedule itself is noteworthy. This week, \u200dHarris \u2063participated in a television interview on Monday, delivered\u2063 a \u200cpowerful speech in Orlando on Tuesday, met with the prime minister of Mongolia on Wednesday, spoke about infrastructure spending, and made two campaign\u2062 stops in Wisconsin on Thursday, and addressed Jobs Day on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a great opportunity for her to make\u2063 her case for a future presidency,&#8221; said\u2063 Sasha Tirador, a Democratic strategist based in\u200d Florida. &#8220;I just \u200cwish she had done\u200b it sooner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Mix of \u2063Support and Criticism<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, Harris also has \u200dher fair share of critics. Her approval ratings as vice\u200c president are not stellar, with only 40.7% approving and 52.7%\u200c disapproving, according to the RealClearPolitics average. These numbers are even \u200cworse than those of her beleaguered boss.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives, in particular, point to her early assignment of addressing migration at the southern \u2063border, mockingly referring to her as\u200c the Biden administration&#8217;s &#8220;border czar.&#8221; DeSantis \u200bbrought up this issue in their recent exchange.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am prepared \u200bto meet as early as Wednesday of this week, but of course want to be\u2064 deferential to your busy schedule should you already have a trip to the southern border planned for that day,&#8221; \u200bhe wrote in a letter challenging \u200cher to debate Florida&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-school-district-spends-15k-on-critical-race-theory-audit\/\" title=\"Missouri School District Spends K on Critical Race Theory Audit\">black history education<\/a>. \u200c&#8221;Please let me\u200b know as soon as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, despite the\u200b criticisms, Democrats\u200d like Tirador welcome the newly invigorated\u2062 Harris they \u200dare witnessing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone, including her fans, has wondered, &#8216;Where have you been?'&#8221; Tirador\u200c remarked. &#8220;But better late than never, absolutely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris seizes the spotlight while President Biden is away, displaying an unusually assertive demeanor.
