&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin claimed on Thursday that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> would risk losing the black vote if he chose to go into the 2024 presidential election with a running mate other than current Vice President Kamala Harris.
Hostin&#8217;s comments caused quite a stir on the ABC midday talk show, prompting a broad range of reactions from her co-hosts – even the liberal co-hosts who typically agreed with her.

“If Biden gets rid of Kamala Harris and inserts someone else, he will lose the Black vote.”
— In the wake of several pieces calling for Joe Biden to pick a new running mate, “The View“ co-host Sunny Hostin says Kamala Harris is necessary for Biden to win. <a href="https://t.co/thzmzQG8jj">pic.twitter.com/thzmzQG8jj</a>

Responding to Harris&#8217; consistently low poll numbers — which Hostin has repeatedly blamed on &#8220;racism&#8221; — and calls for Biden to choose another running mate for his re-election bid, Hostin declared that Biden would lose the black vote if he dropped her from the ticket.
&#8220;Can I say this very quickly? Over the past five elections, where you’ve had a Democrat win, they needed the black vote. Ninety-one percent of African Americans voted for Biden and will continue to vote for Biden if Kamala is his running mate,&#8221; Hostin declared. &#8220;I would be very careful, President Biden, about getting rid of Kamala Harris because we will not support you.&#8221;
Whoopi Goldberg was first to object, arguing that presidents did not typically make changes to the ticket between terms. &#8220;Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold up &#8230; your opinion is valid and beautiful and all of that, but when was the last time you saw anybody get rid of a vice president?&#8221; she asked.
Co-host Sarah Haines pressed Hostin on the practicality of her position, noting that if former President Donald Trump was the Republican nominee, it could change the calculus for some even if they didn&#8217;t necessarily want to support Biden.
&#8220;If it was Biden and Trump?&#8221; Haines asked.
&#8220;If Biden … if Biden gets rid of Kamala Harris and inserts someone else, he will lose the black vote,&#8221; Hostin said again.
&#8220;Even if it’s another black woman like Val [Demings] …&#8221; co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin posited.
&#8220;We’re not interchangeable,&#8221; Hostin shot back.
&#8220;And no one is saying you are, but you wouldn’t vote in an election against Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and black women wouldn’t vote?&#8221; Griffin asked.
&#8220;I think that you, I mean …&#8221; co-host Joy Behar interrupted.
&#8220;But I want to know the answer to that,&#8221; Griffin continued.
&#8220;I don’t want to whitesplain, but you might be underestimating the black community of voters,&#8221; Behar said.
Hostin disagreed, but her co-hosts continued to press her on the issue.
&#8220;You would really sit out an election – you said I was throwing my vote away if I wrote in another Republican,&#8221; Griffin reminded her cohost.
&#8220;I did,&#8221; Hostin agreed.
&#8220;Are you not throwing away your vote by not supporting Biden if he drops Harris?&#8221; Griffin asked, applying Hostin&#8217;s own logic to her position.
Goldberg interrupted then, saving Hostin from having to answer the question. &#8220;I’m sorry, y’all. She is not going anywhere. Let’s start with that. So, this is a lot of hypothetical B.S. meant to make your mind explode,&#8221; she said.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) repeatedly refused to say whether Vice President Kamala Harris was the best option as a running mate for President Joe Biden — should he continue to run for re-election.
Pelosi made the remarks during an interview on Wednesday night with Anderson Cooper on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Anderson Cooper 360°.&#8221;
&#8220;Is Vice President Kamala Harris the best running mate for this president?&#8221; Cooper asked.
&#8220;He thinks so, and that’s what matters,&#8221; Pelosi responded.
When asked again if Harris was the best running mate for Biden, Pelosi answered, &#8220;And by the way, she’s very politically astute. I don’t think people give her enough credit. She’s, of course, values-based, consistent with the president’s values and the rest.&#8221;
&#8220;And people don’t understand. She’s politically astute,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Why would she be vice president if she were not? But when she was running for attorney general in California, she had 6% in the polls – 6% in the polls. And she politically, astutely made her case about why she would be good, did her politics, and became attorney general. So, people shouldn’t underestimate what Kamala Harris brings to the table.&#8221;
Cooper again asked Pelosi, &#8220;But do you think she is the best running mate though?&#8221;
Pelosi answered, &#8220;She’s the vice president of the United States. People say to me, &#8216;Well, why isn’t she doing this or that?&#8217; I say, &#8216;Because she’s the vice president.&#8217; That’s the job description. You don’t do that much.&#8221;

Mourners were joined by current and former politicians Monday for a somber ceremony marking the 22nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. 
Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), with his wife Casey, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/11/nyregion/september-11-memorial-event.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attended</a> the commemoration, along with New York Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY), New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and former NYC Mayors Bill de Blasio, Michael Bloomberg, and Rudy Giuliani, who led the city through the attacks. The group of politicians attended the ceremony, not to speak, but to stand alongside some of the family members of the 2,977 people who lost their lives in the 9/11 attack as the names of those who died were read aloud, the Associated Press <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/harris-desantis-giuliani-politicians-marking-sept-11-terror-103088478" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
President Joe Biden was not present, making him the <a href="https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/09/10/biden-to-head-to-alaska--harris-to-nyc-to-mark-22nd-anniversary-of-9-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first president</a> since the terror attacks not to visit one of the three 9/11 memorial sites (Ground Zero, the Pentagon Memorial, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania) on September 11. Biden, returning from his trip to India and Vietnam, stopped in Anchorage, Alaska, to commemorate the 9/11 terror attacks with troops and their families at a military base.  
Former President Donald Trump, a former New Yorker, was also absent from the Ground Zero ceremony. Trump released a <a href="https://twitter.com/kimguilfoyle/status/1701229022389146027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> on social media honoring the lives lost and the heroic actions of first responders on 9/11.
Adams, who was a police lieutenant on the day Islamic terrorists flew two airplanes into the World Trade Center, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/cbs-new-york-one-one-one-mayor-eric-adams-says-images-of-911-never-left-and-influence-his-leadership-today/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CBS News that the country’s response to the attacks was a definitive moment in the history of New York and the U.S.  
“The greatest thing about New York City in America was not what happened on 9/11, but what happened on 9/12,” he said. “We got up, teachers taught, builders built and we continued to show that we were not going to bend or break.”
Many Americans across the country are commemorating the September 11 attacks by attending vigils or watching newsreels of the fateful day that changed their country forever, but for some Americans, the trauma of September 11, 2001, isn’t just a thing of the past.

Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly refused to say whether there should be any limits surrounding abortions during an interview over the weekend.
She discussed the issue with Margaret Brennan in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face The Nation.&#8221;
&#8220;What is it that you believe?&#8221; Brennan asked. &#8220;I mean, what week of pregnancy should abortion access be cut off?&#8221;
&#8220;We need to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade,&#8221; Harris responded. &#8220;We&#8217;re not trying to do something new&#8211;&#8221;
&#8220;Let me be very clear. From day one, the president has been clear, I have been clear,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;We need to put back the protections that are in Roe v. Wade into law. Since the Supreme Court took it, Congress has the power and ability to pass legislation to put those protections back in law and Joe Biden will sign that bill. So, that is what we want.&#8221;
Brennan again pressed Harris on the matter, asking if there needed to be specific &#8220;terms of defining where that guarantee goes up to and where it does not, at which week of pregnancy.&#8221;
&#8220;We need to put back in place the protections of Roe v. Wade,&#8221; Harris responded. &#8220;We&#8217;re not trying to-, we&#8217;re not trying to do anything that did not exist before June of last year. We are saying&#8211;&#8221;
Brennan then noted that Republicans have pointed out that Democrat policies allow for abortions up until the moment of birth.

&#8220;Which is ridiculous&#8211;,&#8221; Harris claimed. &#8220;And it&#8217;s a mischaracterization of the point.&#8221;
&#8220;I am being precise,&#8221; Harris later added. &#8220;We need to put into law the protections of Roe v. Wade.&#8221;

Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview over the weekend that Republican criticism of her stems from her opponents being &#8220;scared&#8221; of her and the &#8220;merit of the work&#8221; that she has done.
Harris, who according to polling is the worst-rated vice president in modern American history, made the remarks during an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face The Nation.&#8221;
Brennan noted that the criticism has come from Republican presidential candidates warning that Harris would take over the presidency if something happens to President Joe Biden, who would be 86 at the end of a second term.
Brennan highlighted some of the following quotes from Republicans:
<ul>
<li>NIKKI HALEY: &#8220;A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for a President Kamala Harris.&#8221;</li>
<li>CHRIS CHRISTIE: &#8220;I want to be clear that I pray every night for Joe Biden&#8217;s good health, not only because he&#8217;s our president, but because of who our vice president is.&#8221;</li>
<li>RON DESANTIS: &#8220;Harris is his impeachment insurance &#8230; people know if she were president – Katy bar the door. As bad as Biden did, it would get worse.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
When asked how she responded to that criticism, Harris said those making the remarks do not &#8220;actually have a plan for America.&#8221;

&#8220;Listen, this is not new. There&#8217;s nothing new about that,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They feel the need to attack because they&#8217;re scared that we will win based on the merit of the work that Joe Biden and I, and our administration, has done.&#8221;
When Brennan added that even Democrats appear worried about Biden&#8217;s age, Harris responded: &#8220;Joe Biden is going to be fine.&#8221;

Kamala Harris On Attacks Against Her: GOP ‘Scared’ Of ‘Merit Of The Work’ I’ve Done

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris">Kamala Harris</a> insisted she is ready to take over as president if President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> is unable to perform his duties amid concerns about his age and health.
Associated Press reporter Chris Megerian asked Harris about that prospect on Wednesday <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QPsx2kUtx4">during an interview</a> in Jakarta, Indonesia, where the vice president is attending a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/kamala-harris-indonesia-summit-34ad8477fc9b0afb1f17adf807dda475">summit</a> with the leaders of Southeast Asian countries.
“Questions about the president’s age often go hand-in-hand with questions about how you would step in the role if necessary,&#8221; Megerian said. &#8220;Do you feel prepared for that possibility? Has serving as vice president prepared you for that job?&#8221;
Harris responded with a &#8220;yes&#8221; and expounded on the answer when Megerian pressed her to describe the process.
“Well, first of all, I’m answering your hypothetical. But Joe Biden is going to be fine. So that is not going to come to fruition,” she said. “But let us also understand that every vice president — every vice president — understands that when they take the oath, that they must be very clear about the responsibility they may have to take over the job of being president. I am no different.”

Harris Pressed On Whether She Is Ready To Become President

It would appear that not even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a> cares about the WNBA. The commander-in-chief invited the 2022 reigning champions, the Las Vegas Aces, to a White House ceremony hosted by him and his wife, only to ditch the event altogether in order to stay on an extended vacation.
On July 17, the president and first lady Jill Biden extended an invitation to the WNBA team. At the time, team president Nikki Fargas told a <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1695146431412404699?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local ABC affiliate</a> that her team was &#8220;excited and honored&#8221; to attend.
&#8220;I know that all of our players and front office staff who worked so hard to help build that championship team and elevate this franchise will enjoy taking part in the festivities,&#8221; Fargas stated.
As previous players have attested, meeting the leader of the free world is the icing on the cake for their hard work. Well, bad news for Fargas and the gals from Vegas — they got stuck with Vice President Kamala Harris and second husband Doug Emhoff.
Fox News&#8217; Peter Doocy reported that the podium was instead displaying the vice president&#8217;s seal rather than the president&#8217;s seal as expected.
&#8220;When they initially announced this event, it said the president and the first lady were going to host the Aces today, but then they extended their vacation, they were supposed to get back yesterday,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Now they don&#8217;t get back until tomorrow, so that is how you wind up getting feted at the White House by the vice president, instead of by the president. We don&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s doing today, but his motorcade is on the move somewhere in the South Lake Tahoe area.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Biden&#8217;s vacation, of course, was interrupted by the Hawaiian wildfire that killed nearly 200 people with hundreds more missing. He ventured to Maui, only to compare the tragedy to a time he almost lost his Corvette in a small kitchen fire. He also joked about how hot the ground was. And that was after he ignored the situation altogether for nearly 14 days.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
So, because he had to actually do his job for one day, it seems Biden felt the need to take an extra day of PTO.
It is unclear how the Aces really felt about Biden&#8217;s diss, but one has to imagine they are a little disappointed. As horrible as Biden is, nobody ever likes being stood up for an event.
Sending Harris in his place is only adding insult to injury. She isn&#8217;t exactly the most dignified elected official in American history.
In the words of former President Donald J. Trump, &#8220;she speaks in rhyme.&#8221;
&#8220;She has bad moments,&#8221; he recently told Tucker Carlson. &#8220;The way she talks. &#8216;The bus will go here and then the bus will go there because that&#8217;s what buses do.&#8217; It&#8217;s weird. The whole thing is weird.&#8221;

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-scott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Scott</a> (R-SC) doubled down on his attacks on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis this week ahead of the Republican Party&#8217;s first presidential primary debate, saying that DeSantis is aligned with Vice President Kamala Harris when it comes to what is taught in Florida&#8217;s black history curriculum.
Harris flew down to Florida on a last minute trip in July to seize on one sentence from the 216-page <a href="https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/20653/urlt/6-4.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">curriculum</a> that clarified how freed slaves used skills they learned and developed during slavery to help themselves later in their lives: “Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
Harris used that line to claim, “In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.”
Scott <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/tim-scott-doubles-down-criticism-fl-black-history-curriculum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in an interview with Fox News this week that DeSantis and Harris &#8220;both signed off&#8221; on the &#8220;same curriculum.&#8221;
&#8220;All I&#8217;ve suggested is take the sentence out,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;Anyone who suggests that the nation founded on freedom — talking about the one industry, slavery, that deprives African Americans of their freedom, is somehow going to defend any aspect of it whatsoever, it&#8217;s just wrong.&#8221;
He continued, &#8220;There was not a redeeming quality in slavery. For us to have that conversation at all in 2023 is the wrong direction for this nation, and it&#8217;s just an immoral, undeniably unethical industry that devastated black families, mutilated black people, and raped black women.&#8221;
The College Board included a similar item in its course <a href="https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap-african-american-studies-course-framework.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">framework</a> for AP African American Studies for 2023-2024. The curriculum identifies as “essential knowledge”: “In addition to agricultural work, enslaved people learned specialized trades and worked as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians, and healers in the North and South. Once free, African Americans used these skills to provide for themselves and others.”
Harris&#8217; remarks generated strong pushback from a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-black-academic-who-co-created-floridas-african-american-history-curriculum-shreds-democrat-lies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top black academic</a> who helped create the curriculum.

However, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-fires-back-after-some-republicans-promote-kamala-harris-lies-about-florida-curriculum">some Republicans</a>, including Scott and some black U.S. lawmakers who have endorsed former President Donald Trump for president, echoed Harris&#8217; remarks last month to attack DeSantis.
&#8220;What slavery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans, and even raping their wives. It was just devastating,&#8221; Scott said at the time. &#8220;So I would hope that every person in our country — and certainly running for president — would appreciate that.&#8221;
DeSantis responded to Scott: “Part of the reason our country has struggled is because D.C. Republicans all too often accept false narratives, accept lies that are perpetrated by the Left. And to accept the lie that Kamala Harris has been perpetrating even when that has been debunked, that’s not the way you do it. The way you lead is to fight back against the lies, is to speak the truth. So I’m here defending my state of Florida against false accusations and against lies. And we’re going to continue to speak the truth.”

After months of keeping a relatively low profile, Vice President Kamala Harris has once again drawn attention to herself with a series of very public attacks on Florida Governor and Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis.
Despite the fact that Harris is apparently unwilling to debate DeSantis publicly over the new Florida education standards – as he has challenged her to do – The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/kamala-harris-desantis-2024-florida-slavery-curriculum-a65491ac25da79747b72edaa51f340a5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lauded</a> the vice president&#8217;s &#8220;aggressive posture&#8221; in the face of things she believed to be wrong.
&#8220;Her newfound aggressive posture is a natural one, Harris allies say, considering her background as a prosecutor who thrives on zeroing in on an opponent and hammering their faults,&#8221; AP White House Reporter Seung Min Kim wrote with Will Weissert and Steve Peoples.

While they expounded on Harris&#8217; ability to &#8220;hammer&#8221; the faults of her opponents, they neglected to report the fact that her attacks on DeSantis and the Florida education standards were predicated on a fundamental misreading of the curriculum in question — and her refusal to debate on the subject belied more of a passive-aggressive posture than the &#8220;aggressive&#8221; one for which they were praising her.
The one line in question in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-black-academic-who-co-created-floridas-african-american-history-curriculum-shreds-democrat-lies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida standards</a>, cherry-picked and presented without context, stated that slaves had &#8220;developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.&#8221;
Dr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harris-suggests-top-black-academic-behind-floridas-curriculum-is-lying-about-african-american-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Allen</a>, Florida&#8217;s African American History Standards Workgroup member, explained that Harris was actively promoting a fundamental misunderstanding of the statement.

&#8220;As I stated in my response to the Vice President, it was categorically false. It was never said that slavery was beneficial to Africans,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What was said, and anyone who reads this will see this with clarity: It is the case that Africans proved resourceful, resilient and adaptive. And were able to develop skills and aptitudes which serve to their benefit, both while enslaved and after enslavement.&#8221;
But Harris went to Florida — her second trip in the space of a week – and continued to promote that misreading of the curriculum.
&#8220;I’m here in Florida,&#8221; Harris said Tuesday at a convention of black women missionaries. &#8220;And I will tell you there is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact: There were no redeeming qualities of slavery.&#8221;
She even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harris-suggests-top-black-academic-behind-floridas-curriculum-is-lying-about-african-american-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded directly</a> to Allen, using the same cherry-picked statement to suggest that he was lying about the content of the curriculum he helped to write.

Media Fawns Over Kamala Harris And Her 'Aggressive Posture' Toward DeSantis

Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Tuesday that she refused to debate Florida&#8217;s new African American history curriculum with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and a top black academic who created the study program.
DeSantis, one of the top two GOP presidential candidates, had issued a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-shreds-harris-in-letter-inviting-her-to-florida-this-week-to-discuss-curriculum">challenge</a> to Harris on Monday night after she ignited a week full of false narratives about the curriculum following an emergency trip to Jacksonville to protest the materials.
&#8220;I am officially inviting you back down to Florida to discuss our African American History standards,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;We will be happy to host you here in Tallahassee. I will ask Dr. William Allen — instrumental in the development of our impressive new standards — to join. We welcome you, of course, to bring Randi Weingarten or someone else who shares your view about the standards.”
The governor said he was prepared to meet with Harris as soon as Wednesday, but Harris declined.
“They attempt to legitimize these unnecessary debates with a proposal that most recently came in of a politically motivated roundtable,” Harris <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/01/kamala-harris-ron-desantis-black-history-00109170">said</a> in Orlando. “Well, I’m here in Florida, and I will tell you there is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact. There were no redeeming qualities of slavery.”

CNN reported this week that Harris wanted to boost her national profile ahead of the 2024 presidential election, so she decided to copy a page out of California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s playbook and attack DeSantis.
Harris’ team has reportedly “marveled” over the fact that her critique of the curriculum has led to DeSantis&#8217; “opponents” using her claims “as ongoing fodder for attacks.”
“Harris has been quietly noting how other Democrats, including her friend and sometimes rival for attention California Gov. Gavin Newsom, have grabbed the national spotlight by swinging at Republicans aggressively,” the report said. “Aides say she has also been watching the news out of the Republican presidential race and telling Biden aides she wants to be seen as fighting against extremism.”
The report said that “Biden aides lapped up the response and the series of events it set off,” which included attacks by Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott and three black U.S. lawmakers — all of whom have endorsed Trump — on DeSantis and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-fires-back-after-some-republicans-promote-kamala-harris-lies-about-florida-curriculum">DeSantis’ responses hitting back</a>.

Kamala Harris Runs Away From Debating Florida Leaders Over Curriculum: ‘No Invitation We Will Accept’

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly wanted to boost her national profile ahead of the 2024 presidential election, so she decided to copy a page out of California Governor Gavin Newsom&#8217;s playbook and attack Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/30/politics/kamala-harris-biden-reelection-republicans-2024/index.html">reported</a> that Harris&#8217; team decided to &#8220;quickly arrange&#8221; a last minute political event in Jacksonville, Florida upon learning that the state&#8217;s new African American history curriculum had passed.
Harris&#8217; team has reportedly &#8220;marveled&#8221; over the fact that her attacks on the curriculum have led to his &#8220;opponents&#8221; using her attacks &#8220;as ongoing fodder for attacks.&#8221;
The report comes after Dr. William Allen, former chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and Florida’s African American History Standards Workgroup member, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-black-academic-who-co-created-floridas-african-american-history-curriculum-shreds-democrat-lies">slammed</a> Harris last week over her “lies” about the curriculum after she seized on one sentence from the 216-page outline to make her false claims.
Harris&#8217; team decided to launch the attack because they have &#8220;often complained of her being left out of the spotlight and without support by many in the president’s inner circle,&#8221; the report said.
&#8220;Harris has been quietly noting how other Democrats, including her friend and sometimes rival for attention California Gov. Gavin Newsom, have grabbed the national spotlight by swinging at Republicans aggressively,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;Aides say she has also been watching the news out of the Republican presidential race and telling Biden aides she wants to be seen as fighting against extremism.&#8221;
The report said that &#8220;Biden aides lapped up the response and the series of events it set off&#8221;, which included attacks by Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott and three black U.S. lawmakers — all of whom have endorsed Trump — on DeSantis and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-fires-back-after-some-republicans-promote-kamala-harris-lies-about-florida-curriculum">DeSantis&#8217; responses hitting back</a>.
California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has repeatedly attacked DeSantis and has gone as far as to call for investigations into the Florida governor over him sending illegal aliens to blue states and cities.
DeSantis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-on-newsom-urging-doj-probe-over-migrants-his-hair-gel-is-interfering-with-his-brain-function">responded</a> to Newsom&#8217;s call for a federal investigation by saying that the over-the-top amount of hair gel that Newsom uses was “interfering with his brain function.”

CNN: Kamala Harris Wanted To Boost Her National Profile So She Copied Gavin Newsom And Attacked Florida

Gavin Newsom

Vice President Kamala Harris downplayed reports that she is the worst-rated vice president in American history by claiming that there are polls that show she has &#8220;great&#8221; approval ratings.
Harris made the remarks during an ABC News interview when asked by left-wing ABC News reporter Linsey Davis about her dismal approval ratings.
&#8220;There are reports that say you have the lowest approval rating of any vice president,&#8221; Davis said. &#8220;I&#8217;m curious — how much of a role, if any, that you feel race and gender play in that?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, there are polls that also say I have great approval ratings,&#8221; Harris claimed with a smile on her face. &#8220;I think the point that has to be made is that there are attempts to create distractions away from the accomplishments of our administration.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;ve created over 13 million jobs since we&#8217;ve been in office,&#8221; Harris added — while not mentioning that many of those jobs were people going back to work after the pandemic. &#8220;Joe Biden and I have been responsible for 800,000 new manufacturing jobs in the United States, not to mention what we have done to restore America&#8217;s integrity on the international stage.&#8221;
