WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Biden Administration is reportedly ostracizing Vice President Kamala Harris amid her drastically falling approval rating numbers, and her personal relationship with President Joe Biden himself is said to be fraught with tension these days,ย with Harris now being viewed as a potential liability.
A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released last week pegged Harrisโ approval rating at just 28 percent, the lowest rating ever for the office of Vice President; Biden didnโt fare much better in the same poll, with his approval rating coming in at a dismal 38 percent.
Since taking office, Harris has been tasked with tackling several high-profile, politically-charged issues โ including the ongoing illegal immigration crisis at the US-Mexico border โ that she has been seen as coming up short on.
After an early June visitย to the countries of Mexico and Guatemalaย โ in addition toย a short trip to El Paso, Texasย โ to discuss ways of curbing the flow of illegal immigrants to the United States, Harris has done very little in the public eye to address the immigration problem, something that members of the Biden Admin have reportedly looked down upon her for.
Harrisโ poor performance on immigration hasnโt just been noticed by the West Wing; sheโs also been criticized by immigration advocates. Executive director of Border Network for Human Rights Fernando Garcรญa, said that he had faith in the Vice President when she was announced for the role of overseeing the border crisis, but decried her for having since โdisappeared.โ
โWe havenโt heard any substantive messaging push for better immigration policies,โ Garcรญa said. โWe havenโt seen her leadership.โ
Harris also is said not to have attended the majority of the meetings that President Biden held with Congress to promote and secure much-needed votes for his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.
In contrast, aides of Harris are said to be angry for the Vice President to be assigned tasks that are out of her โskill setโ and what they call a lack of support.
However,ย other reports indicateย that Harrisโ office, according to aides, is โchaoticโ with a โtense and at times dourโ atmosphere.
โPeople are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and itโs an abusive environment,โ a source said. โItโs not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. Itโs not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s**t.โ
