Megyn Kelly talked about how &#8220;uncomfortable&#8221; she was when she saw the &#8220;mouth kissing&#8221; between Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; husband at the State of the Union address on Tuesday.
During the Sirius XM &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vw6ETUG9G4&amp;t=2964s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> on Wednesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">host</a> spoke to guests Charles C. Cooke and Jeremy Peters about the &#8220;gross&#8221; kiss on the mouth everyone witnessed between the First Lady and second gentleman Doug Emhoff ahead of President Joe Biden&#8217;s speech. It starts at the 49:24 minute.
Kelly said there&#8217;s only two cases when that kind of kissing on the mouth should be allowed and in Biden&#8217;s wife&#8217;s case of greeting the VP&#8217;s husband before the SOTU wasn&#8217;t one of them.

&#8220;People should not be mouth kissing ever if it&#8217;s not your husband or your spouse,&#8221; the former Fox News host shared. &#8220;Here is Kamala&#8217;s husband and Joe Biden&#8217;s wife kissing on the mouth, I&#8217;m sorry, secondhand uncomfortable…&#8221;
&#8220;Not ever,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Don&#8217;t kiss me on my mouth. Don&#8217;t do it. In fact, don&#8217;t kiss me, and probably don&#8217;t hug me either. Just like the wave or a pat, I&#8217;ll take that.&#8221;
&#8220;Definitely no mouth kissing,&#8221; Kelly continued, as footage played showing the kiss heard around the world from the SOTU. &#8220;Gross. I don&#8217;t know where your mouth&#8217;s been, and I don&#8217;t want to know.&#8221;
The host then threw it to her guests to get their thoughts on the matter. National Review writer, Cooke, said &#8220;I have no idea what&#8217;s going on in that clip. It&#8217;s bizarre.&#8221;
While The New York Times reporter, Peters, kept his response short and brief, &#8220;Not in flu season…&#8221;
Kelly and her guests weren&#8217;t the only ones who found the now viral exchange between Biden and Emhoff, not normal, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-thisnormal-jill-bidens-kiss-with-vp-harris-husband-goes-viral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.

“CBS Mornings” host Gayle King gave Vice President Kamala Harris an on-the-spot <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/president-harris-bidens-gaffe-filled-commencement-speech-raises-eyebrows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promotion</a> during a Wednesday morning interview, referring to her as “<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-calls-kamala-president-harris-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Madam President</a>&#8221; as their conversation came to a close.
King spoke with Harris just hours after President Joe Biden delivered his second State of the Union address, and the two discussed a number of topics — including whether or not Harris would be on the ticket alongside Biden if he pushes forward with a 2024 re-election bid.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
King began by pointing out the fact that Biden&#8217;s speech was being viewed by some as a &#8220;soft launch&#8221; for his 2024 presidential campaign — and that supporters had been pleased with his performance despite criticism from the Right over <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/joy-reid-claims-bidens-garbled-speech-is-proof-his-age-is-not-a-factor-brit-hume-disagrees/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">false statements and fumbles</a>. Her question to Harris was simple: if Biden runs in 2024, will the ticket still be Biden-Harris?
&#8220;How are you feeling about the job these days — that you&#8217;re doing — and people&#8217;s perception of you on the ticket?&#8221; King asked.
&#8220;Well, let me first of all say, as the president has said, that he intends to run and if he does, I’ll be running with him,&#8221; she said.
Harris also shared her response to Biden&#8217;s speech, saying that she felt he had remained &#8220;in command&#8221; of the situation throughout his remarks, even in the face of what she called &#8220;theatrical&#8221; behavior from Republicans during the event.

Harris, in the same vein as Biden did in his address, touted the bipartisan infrastructure law and the projects that had already begun as a result of its passage. She recognized that the Biden administration had not yet done everything they&#8217;d promised or wanted to do, adding, &#8220;We know there’s still work to be done.&#8221;
King concluded the interview with a question about classified documents and what Harris thought needed to be done differently with regard to handling sensitive information: &#8220;It seems to be equal opportunity screw-ups on both sides.&#8221; The vice president demurred, saying only that she believed there were protocols in place that were being followed to the letter.
&#8220;All right, thank you for your time, Madam President,&#8221; King said then, bringing the interview to a close.

‘Is This…Normal?’: Jill Biden’s Kiss With VP Harris’ Husband Goes Viral

Jill Biden’s Close Kiss With VP Harris’ Husband Douglas Emhoff Gains Attention Online

Executive

Politics

OK, look: We&#8217;ve written this story before. But this one quote is just too great to let pass.
Vice President Kamala Harris is embattled, with Democrats openly talking about how they hope President Joe Biden will drop her in 2024 and how she can never win the White House.
So three reporters at The New York Times this week penned a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/us/politics/kamala-harris-vice-presidenct-legacy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> headlined &#8220;Kamala Harris Is Trying to Define Her Vice Presidency. Even Her Allies Are Tired of Waiting.&#8221;
The piece rambles on and on — more than 2,200 words — and of course concludes Harris is pretty darn good, with the last line quoting a supporter saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s better to let Kamala be Kamala.&#8221;
But there was one passage that was just too perfect to let slide.
&#8220;[T]he painful reality for Ms. Harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of Democrats in the White House, on Capitol Hill and around the nation — including some who helped put her on the party’s 2020 ticket — said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country. Even some Democrats whom her own advisers referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her.&#8221;
Wow. So, as Harris and her team are trying to spin some good news, they suggested the reporters check in with some top supporters, confident that they&#8217;d deliver some gushing quotes. Instead, they did just the opposite, saying they&#8217;d &#8220;lost hope in her.&#8221;
That&#8217;s just too perfect.
The very next paragraph was also incredibly frank for the highly liberal Times. &#8220;Through much of the fall, a quiet panic set in among key Democrats about what would happen if President Biden opted not to run for a second term. Most Democrats interviewed, who insisted on anonymity to avoid alienating the White House, said flatly that they did not think Ms. Harris could win the presidency in 2024. Some said the party’s biggest challenge would be finding a way to sideline her without inflaming key Democratic constituencies that would take offense.&#8221;
The Times report followed another from the equally liberal Washington Post published last week. &#8220;Some Democrats are worried about Harris’s political prospects,&#8221; said the <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/some-democrats-are-worried-about-harris-s-political-prospects/ar-AA16U4BP?cvid=466ebe4e5aa84e7cbf874094026c59c4#image=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a>.
The Post, for some reason, went to Jacquelyn Bettadapur, a &#8220;longtime leader of the Cobb County Democrats.&#8221;
&#8220;People are poised to pounce on anything — any misstep, any gaffe, anything she says — and so she’s probably not getting the benefit of the doubt,&#8221; she said. Many Democrats &#8220;don’t know enough about what she’s doing,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;it doesn’t help that she’s not [that] adept as a communicator.&#8221;
Over the last few months, Democrats have openly mused about her future, with some liberal news sites and party leaders saying she shouldn’t run in 2024. If Biden runs again, he should dump Harris, some stories say. Others say that if he doesn’t run, the party should bail on her and pick someone else.
And then there&#8217;s the September <a href="https://morningconsult.com/2022/09/28/democrats-believe-biden-should-run-2024-primary-harris/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> from Morning Consult: Just 28% of Democratic voters would vote for Harris in a Democratic presidential primary without Biden on the ballot, down from 33% in December 2021.
You don’t win the White House with those numbers. And you don&#8217;t win as a Democrat if the Times and the Post are bashing you.

Vice President Harris Delivers Remarks On Medical Debt

This One NY Times Quote On Kamala Harris Will Blow Your Mind

2024 Election

New York Times

Washington Post

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> has helped companies direct investments outside the United States and into the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">economy</a> of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/central-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Central America</a> in a move that the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a> claims will decrease record levels of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigration</a>.
Harris, who serves as the administration’s border czar, has frequently argued that the federal approach to border security should center upon addressing economic instability, climate change, and other “root causes” that purportedly lead to illegal immigration. She has galvanized a combined $4.2 billion in “private sector commitments to create economic opportunity in northern Central America,” according to a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/02/06/fact-sheet-vice-president-harris-launches-next-phase-of-public-private-partnership-for-northern-central-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fact sheet</a> from the White House.
The federal government’s Central America Forward framework created a new Northern Central America Investment Facilitation Team which will “support clean energy infrastructure development, facilitate private sector operations, and promote sustainable economic development in the region.” USAID will sponsor workforce development programs, while the newly formed Central America Service Corps will engage young people in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras with “paid community service opportunities.”
Central America Forward aims to provide one million jobs in the region, as well as heighten access to the financial system, create a $75 million debt fund for small businesses, and facilitate $500 million in infrastructure deals. Federation for American Immigration Reform Head of Government Relations RJ Hauman said in a statement provided to The Daily Wire that “none of these investments serve as a deterrent for illegal immigration to the United States.”
“If the Biden administration wanted to truly end the crisis, they should start from the ground up at relevant agencies, not in corporate boardrooms,” he commented. “Sign asylum cooperative agreements, reform our asylum system, empower officers to enforce federal immigration law, and send the message to economic migrants and human smugglers that asylum fraud is not a pathway to get into the United States.”
As many as 5.5 million migrants have crossed into the United States under the Biden administration, according to <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fair-analysis-5-5-million-illegal-aliens-have-crossed-our-borders-since-biden-took-officehow-is-secretary-mayorkas-still-employed-301658734.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Some 113 known or suspected terrorists crossed the border in fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022, while migrant deaths surpassed 856 in fiscal year 2022, marking the deadliest period on record. Critics of the Biden administration’s immigration policies have asserted that lackluster emphasis on securing the border and increased resources for migrants who enter the country have worsened the illegal immigration crisis.
The efforts to spur investments outside of the United States come several months after the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-commits-to-fighting-food-shortages-in-latin-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> funds for food security and humanitarian aid for Latin American nations. The aid package amounted to $645 million and included support for “refugee and migrant populations,” as well as cooperative efforts on “climate smart economic reform.”
“This contribution will complement the United States’ existing commitment to providing life-saving humanitarian assistance, responding to acute food insecurity, and advancing capacity-building activities that bolster disaster preparedness and response” across Latin America and the Caribbean, a White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/06/09/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-announces-commitments-to-advance-food-security-in-the-western-hemisphere/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> said.
The move nevertheless occurred as inflation in the United States reached record levels. Food prices were increasing 9.1% year-over-year at the time, according to <a href="https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2022/prices-for-food-at-home-up-13-5-percent-for-year-ended-august-2022.htm'" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with prices for meat rising 11.7% and prices for dairy rising 13.5%.

When you&#8217;re as liberal as they get — not to mention a black woman of Asian descent — and The Washington Post doesn&#8217;t have your back, you got problems.
The Jeff Bezos-owned liberal paper — whose motto is &#8220;Democracy Dies In Drabness&#8221; — wrote yet another piece dissing Vice President Kamala Harris. The paper has already detailed her dysfunctional office and its disgruntled workers, along with her endless word salads, but this time it went further.
&#8220;Some Democrats are worried about Harris’s political prospects,&#8221; said a <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/some-democrats-are-worried-about-harris-s-political-prospects/ar-AA16U4BP?cvid=466ebe4e5aa84e7cbf874094026c59c4#image=1">headline</a> this week. Now mind you, it&#8217;s 641 days until Election Day 2024.
It&#8217;s not the first time a liberal news outlet has taken early aim at a Democrat. In 1999, many weren&#8217;t happy with the prospect of Vice President Al Gore becoming president, so they were kinda brutal to him (&#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; picked up on that and <a href="https://youtu.be/zDgRRVpemLo">mocked</a> him for his earth-tone wardrobe and his &#8220;lock-box&#8221; fixation).
The Post went to a top source, Jacquelyn Bettadapur, a &#8220;longtime leader of the Cobb County Democrats.&#8221; That&#8217;s right, the paper was able to reach her! So great. Let&#8217;s hear her insights.
&#8220;People are poised to pounce on anything — any misstep, any gaffe, anything she says — and so she’s probably not getting the benefit of the doubt,&#8221; Bettadapur said. Many Democrats, she said, &#8220;don’t know enough about what she’s doing” — adding, &#8220;it doesn’t help that she’s not [that] adept as a communicator.&#8221;
Man, you can only get that kind of expert political analysis from the top Cobb County, Georgia, Democrat.
Now, the Post wasn&#8217;t able to get the current chairman of the Charleston County Democratic Party in South Carolina. But they were, thank God, able to reach Brady Quirk-Garvan, a former chairman. He dropped this wisdom:
“I think many Democrats have changed from a 2008 sentiment, or even the feeling in 2012 and 2016, which were about voting for aspiration. Democrats at the moment — I don’t hear a lot of chatter about aspiration. I hear about what’s going to guarantee a win, what’s a certainty, what feels safe,&#8221; he said.
We&#8217;ll skip the insights offered by a former South Carolina state legislator and go straight to &#8220;one South Carolina Democratic strategist who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of damaging professional relationships.&#8221; This is gonna&#8217; be good &#8216;cuz it&#8217;s anonymous.
&#8220;Every fiber in my body wants her to be president; everything I’ve ever fought for is for someone like her to be president. I think she’s a good person with a good heart who can lead the country. But I don’t know that the people who have to make that happen feel that way right now. I don’t know that she has what it takes to get over the hump in our present environment.&#8221;
Huh. Now that&#8217;s one shrewd observation. A lot of powerful people don&#8217;t think Harris is the one so she likely won&#8217;t be president.
Even though the 2024 election is ages away, the onslaught of negative press on Harris will be a drag on her ambitions. The press may ease up on her should President Joe Biden decide to drop, but he appears ready to rumble again so that may not happen.
Harris, 58, could just coast — being vice president is about the easiest job in the world. She could wait around until 2028 and give it a go then. But anyone who knows her knows she thinks very highly of herself and has concluded that she — among the 320 million Americans — is the one to lead.
She may not even get that chance.
Over the last few months, Democrats have openly mused about her future, with some liberal news sites and party leaders saying she shouldn’t run in 2024. If Biden runs again, he should dump Harris, some stories say. Others say that if he doesn’t run, the party should bail on her and pick someone else.
Take the recent <a href="https://morningconsult.com/2022/09/28/democrats-believe-biden-should-run-2024-primary-harris/">survey</a> from Morning Consult: Just 28% of Democratic voters would vote for Harris in a Democratic presidential primary without Biden on the ballot, down from 33% in a poll last year. You don’t win the White House with those numbers.
The liberal site Slate laid a vicious <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/11/kamala-harris-joe-biden-new-vp-2024.html">slap</a> on Harris shortly after Election Day 2022.
“As Joe Biden weighs a run for re-election even as he becomes the first octogenarian U.S. president in history, he should think back on what it was like to watch the Harris campaign flame out,” Christina Cauterucci wrote. “Harris, a proven dud of a presidential candidate who has done little to distinguish herself since is not a good choice for the Democrats’ top billing. For his second term, should he seek one (he shouldn’t!), Biden should tap someone else.”
And Harris, it turns out, is surprisingly even more unpopular than her predecessors.
“As the country has become more partisan, vice presidents have been less likely to enjoy broad support among the public. [Mike] Pence, for example, had a net favorability of roughly zero for much of his four years in the White House. Joe Biden, Dick Cheney and Al Gore all began their tenures with higher ratings than Harris currently enjoys,” The Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/projects/kamala-harris-approval-rating-polls-vs-biden-other-vps/">wrote</a> last month.
The 2024 election, as we noted, is 641 days away. But that might not be enough time to bail out her sinking ship.

Can Kamala Harris Survive Losing Lots Of Democrats AND Liberal Media? (Answer: No)

Can Kamala Harris Survive Losing Democrats, Liberal Media? (Answer: No)

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>, speaking at the funeral of a Memphis man allegedly killed by police, urged Congress on Wednesday to pass sweeping police reforms.
Harris issued the call as she delivered remarks at a service for Tyre Nichols, a black man who video allegedly shows was brutally beaten to death by police officers in the Tennessee city last month. Five black officers were fired and subsequently charged with second-degree murder. Harris spoke in favor of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-floyd-justice-in-policing-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Floyd Justice in Policing Act</a>, which passed the House in March 2021, but failed to clear the Senate.
&#8220;As vice president of the United States, we demand that Congress pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act,&#8221; Harris said, promising that President Joe Biden will sign the bill if it lands on his desk. &#8220;We should not delay and we will not be denied. It is nonnegotiable.&#8221;

The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act aims to ban chokeholds, restrict no-knock entries, and overhaul qualified immunity, among other things. It is named after George Floyd, who died in May 2020 after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his upper back for several minutes during an arrest.
While bystander video of Floyd&#8217;s arrest led to a summer of protests and riots across the country, it was body camera and surveillance video of Memphis officers punching and kicking Nichols that led to a fresh outcry over police brutality. The beating stemmed from an attempted arrest over what was initially described as a traffic stop for suspected reckless driving. Nichols was initially subdued, but then fled before being recaptured minutes later, then allegedly kicked and punched multiple times.
Although the officers charged in Nichols&#8217; death were all black, activists have taken to blaming &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tyre-nichols-bodycam-systemic-racism-non-white-people-black-activists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">systematic racism</a>.&#8221;

One high-profile Democratic lawmaker abstained from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for re-election less than two years out from the 2024 contest.
During a recent interview, Sen. Liz Warren (D-MA) said she wants to wait on President Joe Biden, who has not formally declared another campaign.
“I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team,” <a href="https://www.wgbh.org/news/politics/2023/01/27/warren-stops-short-of-backing-harris-for-vp-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warren told Boston Public Radio (BPR)</a>. “I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an attorney general and I was still teaching and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are.”
So far, Biden has only said he intends to run again. According to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-prepares-2024-re-election-launch-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple</a> <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-reelection-bid-announcement-after-state-of-the-union-address/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>, he is expected to make an announcement shortly after his State of the Union address on February 7. As for his plans for a running mate, a little more than one year ago, Biden said he was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/19/biden-commits-to-harris-as-his-running-mate-2024-527418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">committed to Harris</a> in 2024 if he sought a second term.
“She’s going to be my running mate, number one,” he said at the time, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/19/biden-commits-to-harris-as-his-running-mate-2024-527418" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to POLITICO</a>. “And number two, I did put her in charge. I think she’s doing a good job,&#8221; he added of Harris&#8217; role in voting rights policies.
Approval ratings tell a different story for Harris and her boss. Biden sits at 41.6% while Harris is at 38.4%, <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/kamala-harris/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to FiveThirtyEight</a>. During the past two years, Harris has dealt with constant negative headlines detailing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-kamala-harris-staffer-leaving-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high turnover in her office</a>. The vice president&#8217;s critics have also piled on for what they say is her failure to take her lead role in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/busloads-of-migrants-dropped-off-at-kamala-harris-home-on-christmas-eve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tackling the migration challenges at the U.S.-Mexico border</a> seriously.
Warren, like Harris, was a senator who competed for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2020 contest before rallying behind Biden. Warren says she is <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/08/warren-will-run-for-reelection-2024-486024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seeking re-election</a> as senator in 2024 and joined another leftist who previously ran for president, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/06/14/bernie-sanders-2024-primary-joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)</a>, in voicing support for Biden if he does vie for a second term in the White House.
&#8220;Yes. He should run again. And he is running again,&#8221; Warren told BPR. The senator insisted Biden has &#8220;gotten a tremendous amount done&#8221; and described some accomplishments during his administration, including the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and an increase in funding for science.
Questions posed to Warren about Biden stressed the president&#8217;s age, which has become a point of concern among critics and allies alike. At 80, Biden is already the oldest person to be president. He would be 82 for a second inauguration and 86 at the end of a second term.
If Biden does run again, he might find himself in a general election rematch against former President Donald Trump, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-launches-third-bid-for-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced another bid for the White House in November</a>.

Elizabeth Warren Says She Will ‘Defer’ On Supporting Kamala Harris For Re-Election

Elizabeth Warren Says She Will 'Defer' On Supporting Kamala Harris For Re-Election

With Republicans taking over the House, investigations into President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration are set to take off — as they should. After all, oversight is one of the key jobs of lawmakers as laid out in the Constitution.
While there have been murmurs that Republicans might go so far as to impeach Biden, top party leaders have seemed to eschew the notion. But that was before a cache of classified documents was found in Biden&#8217;s garage — and then kept hidden until after the midterm elections.
But one GOP lawmaker says Biden has the perfect insurance policy to prevent his impeachment: Vice President Kamala Harris.
&#8220;Joe Biden has failed the American people and he’s keeping some members from calling for impeachment by having a historically unpopular vice president,&#8221; Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-is-bidens-shrewd-insurance-policy-against-impeachment-boebert-says/ar-AA16uXY2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Fox News.
&#8220;Both have failed to faithfully uphold and execute the law, and both should be held fully accountable,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Kamala Harris is Biden’s shrewd insurance policy.&#8221;
In the last couple of months, Obama administration-era classified documents have been found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., and at Biden&#8217;s Wilmington, Delaware, home.
But while there have been whispers that Republicans might seek to impeach Biden, Democrats and liberal news outlets are openly talking about dropping Harris from the 2024 ticket.
Harris is just 58 and is the first female vice president — the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history. And she just happens to be the first black and first Asian American vice president. That checks a lot of boxes for identity-conscious Democrats.
And still the talk persists. If Biden runs again, he should dump Harris, some stories say. Others say that if he doesn&#8217;t run, the party should bail on her and pick someone else.
The stories aren&#8217;t wrong, per se. They do contain facts, like this from a September <a href="https://morningconsult.com/2022/09/28/democrats-believe-biden-should-run-2024-primary-harris/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey </a>from Morning Consult: Just 28% of Democratic voters would vote for Harris in a Democratic presidential primary without Biden on the ballot, down from 33% in a poll last year. You don&#8217;t win the White House with those numbers.
Slate was one of the latest liberal sites to come out against Harris.
&#8220;As Joe Biden weighs a run for re-election even as he becomes the first octogenarian U.S. president in history, he should think back on what it was like to watch the Harris campaign flame out,&#8221; Christina Cauterucci <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/11/kamala-harris-joe-biden-new-vp-2024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;Harris, a proven dud of a presidential candidate who has done little to distinguish herself since is not a good choice for the Democrats’ top billing.

&#8220;As the country has become more partisan, vice presidents have been less likely to enjoy broad support among the public. [Mike] Pence, for example, had a net favorability of roughly zero for much of his four years in the White House. Joe Biden, Dick Cheney, and Al Gore all began their tenures with higher ratings than Harris currently enjoys,&#8221; the Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/projects/kamala-harris-approval-rating-polls-vs-biden-other-vps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> last month.
And Capitol Weekly openly derided Harris in an October <a href="https://capitolweekly.net/memo-to-democrats-beware-of-kamala-harris-in-2024-or-beyond/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> headlined, &#8220;Memo to Democrats: Beware of Kamala Harris, in 2024 or beyond.&#8221;
&#8220;Despite her obvious intelligence, Harris just isn’t very good, I’m sorry to say, either as a candidate or communicator,&#8221; Democrat strategist Garry South wrote. &#8220;When it comes to Harris and 2024 – or beyond — Democrats would be wise to bear in mind the old time-honored caution, caveat emptor.&#8221;

House GOP Leadership Hold News Conference To Discuss Situation At Southern Border

Boebert: Kamala Harris Is Biden’s ‘Shrewd Insurance Policy’ Against Impeachment

Rep. Lauren Boebert: Kamala Harris Is President Joe Biden's 'Shrewd Insurance Policy' Against Impeachment

Texas Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greg-abbott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greg Abbott</a> hit back at President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> on Monday over criticism of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a> program voluntarily relocating migrants at the U.S. southern border to sanctuary cities.
Three buses filled with about 130 immigrants stopped and let their passengers off outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ official residence in Washington, D.C., on Christmas Eve evening. The buses were originally destined for New York, but rerouted to D.C. because of road closures and low temperatures, an aid worker told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/25/us/politics/migrants-kamala-harris-christmas-eve.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>.
“The White House is full of a bunch of hypocrites, led by the Hypocrite-in-Chief,” Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze said in a statement, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/greg-abbott-pushes-back-criticism-after-busing-migrants/story?id=95848289" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>. “Instead of their hypocritical complaints about Texas providing much-needed relief to our overrun and overwhelmed border communities, President Biden and Border Czar Harris need to step up and do their jobs to secure the border — something they continue failing to do.”
The migrants “were processed and released by the federal government,” Eze said. Relocating the migrants from the Texas border to sanctuary cities is “providing much-needed relief to our overrun and overwhelmed border communities.”
El Paso, Texas, is one of the hardest hit communities of the border crisis. Dozens of homeless migrants have slept in the city’s streets in recent weeks because government and nonprofit facilities set up for migrant care are overcrowded. The city, which is operating its own bussing program to relocate migrants, <a href="https://wtov9.com/news/nation-world/migrants-brace-cold-night-el-pasoans-show-up-to-help-them-stay-warm-christian-values-jesus-christ-manger-mary-joseph-no-room-at-the-inn-texas-southern-border-public-safety-charity-christmas-holidays-december-winter-weather-blizzard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paid</a> for several buses to idle on the city’s streets over the holiday weekend for migrants to warm up during nights of freezing temperatures.
The White House had lashed out at Abbott on Christmas after the migrants were dropped off in front of the Naval Observatory.
“Governor Abbott abandoned children on the side of the road in below-freezing temperatures on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any federal or local authorities,” White House spokesman Abdullah Hasan said, according to the Times. “This was a cruel, dangerous and shameful stunt.”
“These political games accomplish nothing and only put lives in danger,” he added.
The Supreme Court is expected to make a ruling on Title 42 in the coming days, potentially allowing the Trump-era pandemic policy to end and spark a flood of migrants over the U.S. border.
Tens of thousands of migrants are currently staying in shelters on the Mexico side of the border. At least 22,000 migrants are staying in shelters in the Mexican border cities of Tijuana, Reynosa, and Matamoros, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/27/us/el-paso-border-fencing-title-42/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> reports.

A flurry of buses dropped off dozens of migrants at the Washington, D.C., residence of Vice President Kamala Harris on a frigid Christmas Eve.

U.S. authorities reported more than 2 million migrant encounters at the border in fiscal year 2022, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/22/politics/border-encounters-migrants-2022/index.html#:~:text=The%20new%20data%20shows%20a,Venezuela%2C%20Cuba%2C%20and%20Nicaragua." target="_blank" rel="noopener">a marked increase from the prior year</a>. When that figure was reported in October, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus said &#8220;failing regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua&#8221; were driving a new wave of migrants across the western hemisphere.
In announcing buses traveling to outside of Harris&#8217; home in the Naval Observatory in September, Abbott noted the vice president was President Joe Biden&#8217;s pick to lead his administration&#8217;s efforts to tackle the migration challenge at the U.S.-Mexico border — a job which critics say she has failed to take seriously.
&#8220;The Biden-Harris Administration continues ignoring and denying the historic crisis at our southern border, which has endangered and overwhelmed Texas communities for almost two years,&#8221; Abbott <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-migrant-bus-arrivals-at-border-czar-harris-residence-in-washington-d.c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a statement at the time</a>. &#8220;Our supposed Border Czar, Vice President Kamala Harris, has yet to even visit the border to see firsthand the impact of the open border policies she has helped implement, even going so far as to claim the border is ‘secure.’ Texas will continue sending migrants to sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C. until President Biden and Border Czar Harris step up and do their jobs to secure the border.&#8221;
In October, Harris <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/border-czar-kamala-harris-accuses-abbott-of-dereliction-of-duty-for-busing-migrants-out-of-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took a swipe at Abbott</a>, saying his actions were &#8220;an absolute dereliction of duty&#8221; during an appearance on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Late Night with Seth Meyers.&#8221;
&#8220;If you see a problem and we agree that we need to address it, then if you’re a leader, participate in a solution, right?” Harris added. “They’ve fled great harm and they are coming here seeking refuge. Talk about political theater.”

Busloads Of Migrants Dropped Off At Kamala Harris’ Home On Christmas Eve

Migrants

During the race to be the Democrats&#8217; nominee in 2020, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden engaged in several acrimonious exchanges before Harris&#8217; campaign went down in flames.
But she is a black woman of Asian descent, and Biden — being the craven politician he is — picked her as his running mate.
Still, he has regularly expressed his displeasure with the spotlight-seeking Harris, and a new book says he dismissively calls her a &#8220;work in progress.&#8221;
In &#8220;The Fight of His Life,&#8221; a new book by author Chris Whipple that comes out January 17, Whipple says Biden was miffed when he heard that Harris&#8217; husband, Douglas Emhoff, complained about some of the tasks assigned to the vice president, Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2022/12/20/the-juicy-new-biden-book-00074849">reports</a>.
“Biden was annoyed,” the book says. “He hadn’t asked Harris to do anything he hadn’t done as vice president — and she’d begged him for the voting rights assignment.”
Early in his presidency, Biden named Harris the &#8220;Border Czar&#8221; and charged her with taking care of the mess at the U.S.-Mexico border. She was also tasked with pushing election reform and voting rights through Congress, but she failed miserably.
Others in the White House were also annoyed. One senior Biden adviser allegedly vented that “[Harris’] inner circle didn’t serve her well in the presidential campaign — and they are ill-serving her now.”
The White House gave only the most perfunctory pushback on the book.
&#8220;There will be no shortage of books written about the administration containing a wide variety of claims,&#8221; White House spokeswoman Robyn Patterson told Politico. &#8220;We don’t plan to engage in confirmations or denials when it comes to the specifics of those claims. The author did not give us a chance to verify the materials that are attributed here.&#8221;
The book is coming out just as a buzz is sweeping the capital city. For the last few weeks, Democrats have been openly musing about Harris&#8217; future, with some liberal news sites and party leaders saying she <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/581248-kamala-harris-a-2024-problem-for-biden-and-the-democrats/">shouldn&#8217;t run</a> in 2024.
If President Joe Biden runs again, he should dump Harris, some <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/11/kamala-harris-joe-biden-new-vp-2024.html">stories</a> say. If he doesn&#8217;t run, the party should bail on her and pick someone else, others say.
The stories aren&#8217;t wrong, per se. They do contain facts, like this from a recent <a href="https://morningconsult.com/2022/09/28/democrats-believe-biden-should-run-2024-primary-harris/">survey</a> from Morning Consult: Just 28% of Democratic voters would vote for Harris in a Democratic presidential primary without Biden on the ballot, down from 33% in a poll last year.
Slate was the latest liberal site to come out against Harris.
&#8220;As Joe Biden weighs a run for re-election even as he becomes the first octogenarian U.S. president in history, he should think back on what it was like to watch the Harris campaign flame out,&#8221; Christina Cauterucci <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/11/kamala-harris-joe-biden-new-vp-2024.html">wrote</a>.
&#8220;Harris, a proven dud of a presidential candidate who has done little to distinguish herself since is not a good choice for the Democrats’ top billing. For his second term, should he seek one (he shouldn’t!), Biden should tap someone else.”
