Senate Democrats Offer Tepid Support For Kamala Harris Amid Critical Media Reports

Amid media reports questioning her political acumen and base competence, Democrats in the Senate are offering tepid support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
President Joe Biden has assigned Harris — who dropped out of the 2020 presidential primaries before the Iowa caucuses — a policy portfolio that includes election law and immigration. However, critics charge that the vice president does not prepare for meetings and is out of her depth politically. Others worry that she would lose the 2024 presidential election in the event that Biden could not seek a second term in office.
