When Republican presidential aspirants flocked to Iowa to speak at the Lincoln Day Dinner, VP Kamala Harris followed them to Des Moines to talk about abortion rights — a major issue on which Democrats plan to hit the GOP next year.
Vice President Kamala Harris is playing the heavy as she and President Joe Biden tag-team their 2024 reelection effort.
Harris also went on a hastily planned trip to Florida to launch a sustained attack on Gov. Ron DeSantis , currently the runner-up for the 2024 GOP nomination, in what could be a preview of the Democrats’ general election playbook. “And what is happening here in Florida?” Harris asked the crowd in Jacksonville. “Extremist so-called leaders for months have dared to ban books. Book bans in this year of our Lord 2023.
It’s not unusual for vice presidents to be deployed in this manner. Vice President Spiro Agnew went on offense for President Richard Nixon, as Nixon early in his vice presidential days did for President Dwight Eisenhower. Vice President Dan Quayle was more of a movement conservative than President George H.W. Bush.
Harris moved away from this image for two reasons. One, “Kamala the Cop” became an epithet rather than a badge of honor as Democrats embraced criminal justice reform and the most progressive elements of the party flirted with defunding the police. Former Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard used Harris’s prosecutorial record against her during the 2020 Democratic presidential race, saying in a viral debate moment that Harris locked people up for their marijuana use while laughing about her own.
