Vice President Kamala Harris’s role is under new scrutiny as President Joe Biden prepares for what appears to be his inevitable reelection campaign.
Harris will be pitched over Biden’s right shoulder as he lays out his case to voters for another four years in office, premised on the notion that he has secured significant legislative victories that help Democrats win.
“Biden doesn’t need Harris, but he definitely needs the support of black women,” said Joe DiSano, a Democratic political consultant in Michigan. “They are the beating heart of the Democratic Party.”While Harris struggled to win over black voters during her own presidential campaign in 2019, after taking office, polls measuring her support in a hypothetical Democratic field showed the vice president leapfrogging competitors.
Talk of Harris’s inability to clear the field isn’t new. During the Democratic nominating contest in 2020, Harris’s presidential campaign ran aground before reaching her home state of California. “Two Democrats recalled private conversations in which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lamented that Ms. Harris could not win because she does not have the political instincts to clear a primary field,” the New York Times reported in a story that assessed Harris’s future political prospects with increasing alarm.
“I don’t know much about her. I feel that she should have made more of the vice presidency than she has,” Martinez said. Biden’s press secretary said the administration’s policies made a persuasive case for voters in the November elections last year, slowing Republicans’ gains and keeping Democratic losses to a minimum.
