Vice President Harris should "step aside," Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker wrote on Friday, as she called the vice president's performance "disappointing," and warned she's become a "burden to the Democratic ticket." While she said she was pulling for Harris to succeed, Parker argued her performance "has been disappointing." "The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop. The seriousness of this situation can’t...

“Nobody” should go to jail for “smoking weed,” Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday, despite having prosecuted nearly 2,000 cases of marijuana possession, cultivation, or sale as California’s attorney general. Harris’s public flip-flop is likely due to the politics of a difficult reelection campaign in which the Biden-Harris ticket is losing to former President Donald Trump in 75 percent of 2024 swing states, polling shows. Harris condemned prosecuting those who smoke flowers while speaking at a roundtable event about cannabis reform with musician Fat Joe and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D).

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been sending mixed messages on their support for Israel in recent days, reflecting competing priorities within the administration, and boosting the confidence of Hamas terrorists. On Friday, Harris said Israel had the right to defend itself, while also suggesting the Biden administration is opposed to the Israeli government — a sentiment Biden echoed on Saturday, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “hurting Israel.”.

Bill Maher has suggested President Joe Biden consider replacing his current Vice President Kamala Harris with either Nikki Haley or Republican Senator Mitt Romney in a bid to bridge the divide between the political parties. Maher suggested that if Biden were to pursue such an unconventional idea, it would likely result in electoral victory for the Democrats as the GOP members would be running on a unity ticket. On the panel, journalist Tara Palmeri raised concerns about potentially alienating the core of the Democratic party, which includes black women. 'She's a woman of color,' Maher replied — referring to Haley....

Vice President Kamala Harris told CBS News on Friday that she distinguishes between the Israeli government and the Israeli people, as if Israel were not democratic, and as if Israelis disagreed with their government over the war in Gaza. Harris spoke to CBS News and responded to a question about whether the Biden administration would end military aid to Israel over the death of 30,000 Palestinians. (CBS did not distinguish between terrorists and civilians killed).

President Biden and Vice President Harris are set to travel to every battleground state in March as part of his reelection campaign’s effort to ramp up after Super Tuesday and the State of the Union, the campaign announced Friday. Biden will travel to New Hampshire on Monday, Wisconsin on Wednesday and Michigan on Thursday, according to the campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Madison Wednesday, in another visit by the highest-level politicians to Wisconsin during what is shaping up to be a key battleground for Campaign 2024 and the road to the White House. Harris visited the Metro Transit Satellite Bus Facility, where she and Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su touted Biden administration policies and successes. As part of her visit, Harris met with construction workers to talk about the importance of their work. She also introduced a new federal apprenticeship program. “When we invest in the American people, including the American worker, everyone benefits,” Harris...

Vice President Kamala Harris clarified remarks she made Sunday apparently demanding an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, adding that she was simply calling for a proposed six-week truce as part of a deal to release Israeli hostages. The Times of Israel reported: “Given the immense scale of suffering in Gaza, there must be an immediate ceasefire,” Harris begins, causing the crowd in Selma to erupt in applause, before she can finish her sentence, when the seemingly thrown off vice president adds: “for at least the next six weeks, which is what currently is on the table,” Harris continues, barely heard over...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz stated that he “never once met” with either President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris during his tenure running the agency from August 2021 to the end of June 2023 and “it’s long overdue that they sit down and roll up their sleeves and start coming up with some solutions.”

The Veep has the “Housewives” on the move! Vice President Kamala Harris will be a guest on Sherri Shepherd’s daytime show, “Sherri,” on Wednesday, and sources tell Page Six that the appearance is forcing Bravo to move up the production time for its “Real Housewives of Potomac” reunion, which is shooting at the same studio. “Their schedule now has to be rearranged and pushed up to 4:30 in the morning. All of their food deliveries have to come before the street is totally blocked off by the Secret Service,” a source exclusively tells Page Six. Shepherd’s show films in Manhattan’s...

The notion that Biden is less mentally fit for the presidency than Trump is extremely dubious. The president has been involved in public policy for more than half a century and Biden has almost certainly forgotten more about geopolitics and the federal bureaucracy than Trump has ever learned. Age notwithstanding, Biden remains far more cognitively qualified for the presidency than his 77-year-old rival... The president’s mental competence is similarly well established. Last year, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told allies that he “found the president sharp and substantive in their conversations,” as Politico put it. This comports with the assessment of...

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and Kamala Harris writhing with awkwardness every time she steps in front of a camera. Scratch that: life actually has four certainties. The fourth is that you will grow up to be an adult, and when you grow up to be an adult, there are some things you simply can’t do outside the obvious, like committing a heinous crime. You can’t skip off to Las Vegas for a week-long, coke-induced bender with your old high school buddies while your wife is at home with the week-old newborn.

Complaints of "bedwetting" are reportedly frustrating top Democrats who feel like their concerns are being brushed off by the Biden campaign as they demand the president and his team "need to be better." CNN reported on Sunday that Vice President Harris has been meeting with leading Democrats for some guidance on the Biden-Harris re-election effort as some members of the party who are concerned about their chances have been feeling "sloughed off" by the White House and the president's campaign. "The ‘bedwetting’ complaints are running thin with people," one person who attended a meeting with Harris told the media outlet,...

Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly working to fix the Biden campaign strategy — nine months from election day. Harris, whose favorability rating is worse than President Joe Biden’s, appears to be positioning herself as an alternative if he decides not to run for reelection before the Democratic National Convention (DNC). A majority of voters say there is no chance they would vote for Biden in 2024, a recent CNN poll found. The convention is the only feasible route Harris could take to replace Biden, 81. Politico reported a three-step process: Biden Must Voluntarily Step Aside Before Democratic National Convention...

Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that former President Donald Trump was bending a knee to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Harris said, “We need to do our part, and we have been very clear that the United States Congress must act. I will say that one point that gives me some level of optimism is we are clear in the knowledge that there is bipartisan support both in the Senate, which we have seen a demonstration of, and in the House. So let’s put this to a vote in the House. I am certain that...

On February 15, 2024, the day after the Kansas City Chiefs’ parade shooting, Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated the false claim that gun violence is the No. 1 killer of children. Harris used a post to X to say, “Gun violence is the number one cause of death for children of America—not some form of illness or car accidents.” She made this same claim in July 2023, and Breitbart News fact-checked the claim, noting numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show firearm-related deaths for children aged 0-17 were 2,281 in 2020, while the number of motor...

This needs no description and I don't think any description would do it justice.

The Biden-Harris campaign is launching a series of radio, print and digital ads targeting Black voters in battleground states. The ads, according to the reelection campaign, will highlight promises President Biden kept to Black Americans over the last four years.
