The outlet reported that around this same time in 2017, Pence\u2019s unfavorability rating sat at 41.9%, while his favorability rating was 42.1%. Pence may have been helped by a massive media focus on then-President Donald Trump and false accusations that he was a Russian agent who colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>During the Biden administration, much more focus has been on Harris since she\u2019s the first black female vice president. President Joe Biden, however, has put her in charge of some nearly impossible tasks, including handling the situation on the southern border. As the Times reported, Harris\u2019 approval ratings started to decline after she was assigned the task, though Biden also received a small decline in job approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dip followed an interview with NBC\u2019s Lester Holt, where&nbsp;Harris bristled at a question&nbsp;about why she had not visited the border, triggering criticism. Comments about immigration and the United States\u2019 southern border during&nbsp;visits&nbsp;to Mexico and Guatemala have also&nbsp;sparked controversy,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>Holt had asked Harris if she had \u201cany plans to visit the border,\u201d which received a hostile and odd remark from the vice president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt some point, you know, we are going to the border, we\u2019ve been to the border,\u201d Harris said, as previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-internet-erupts-over-kamala-harris-response-to-grilling-by-nbc-for-claiming-admin-has-been-to-border\">reported<\/a> by The Daily Wire. \u201cSo this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. We\u2019ve been to the border. We\u2019ve been to the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holt then said: \u201cYou haven\u2019t been to the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris responded: \u201cAnd I haven\u2019t been to Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after this exchange, Harris visited Mexico and Guatemala, where she continued to make remarks that garnered ridicule. In Guatemala, the international press asked her why she hadn\u2019t visited the U.S.-Mexico border. She was specifically asked why she hadn\u2019t visited the border, to which Harris said the immigration situation is a high priority, while continuing to say she wouldn\u2019t visit the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the issue of Republican\u2019s political attacks, or criticism, or even concerns, the reason I\u2019m here in Guatemala as my first trip as vice president of the United States, is because this is one of our highest priorities,\u201d Harris claimed. \u201cAnd I came here to be here on the ground, to speak with the leader of this nation, around what we can do in a way that is significant, is tangible, and has real results. And I will continue to be focused on that kind of work as opposed to grand gestures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, when Spanish media asked when she planned to visit the border, Harris became irritated, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-kamala-harris-gets-snippy-with-spanish-media-when-pressed-over-the-border\">reported<\/a>, insisting she had \u201csaid I\u2019m going to the border.\u201d When the reporter asked her \u201cwhen\u201d she would go to the border, Harris replied: \u201cI\u2019m not finished. I\u2019ve said I\u2019m going to the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
