There is serious tension between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as rumors continue to spread.
The media reports say Biden has already started blaming Harris for his sinking approval ratings and as well as the mood of American voters being at the worst as it has been in any midterm election since the 1974 Watergate scandal.
Even though his son Hunter Biden and daughter Ashley Biden have openly admitted to having drug and sex addictions, Joe Biden suspects Kamala Harris of disclosing “private concerns” of the Biden family members to the media, which has once again caused severe humiliation to Biden and his family.
As a result of the Biden-Harris administration’s appalling performance, the Democratic Party is expected to lose significantly in both the House and the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections in November. If Joe Biden decides not to put his acceptability to the test, Kamala Harris still intends to run for president in 2024.
However, many Americans have said they will not support Kamala Harris to take Joe Biden’s place at the head of the Democratic ticket.
Voters in Virginia were recently surveyed by Fox News regarding their opinions of Kamala Harris, one of the most unpopular vice presidents in American history.
Fox found that few Virginians, including left-wing voters, are unfavorable to Harris if she were to run for President in 2024.
The poll shows a startling 56 percent of Americans have a negative opinion of Harris, while only 39 percent have a positive opinion.
“I would support her, but I’d be open to other candidates as well in the Democratic Party,” Rosa, a mother from Virginia, told Fox News.
“No, I wouldn’t support any Democrat,” said Lisa from Ashburn, Virginia
“I don’t think she deserves the position she is in now,” another man said, who was identified as Daniel. “I think she’s a joke, to be honest.”
“She’s just been an embarrassment to everyone,” Daniel added.
In a recent poll conducted by Yahoo News, 40% of Biden’s 2020 supporters said he shouldn’t run for office again in 2024. But that is not to say that they all have confidence in the electoral prospects of the person he selected as his number-two.
New York Magazine Author Gabriel Debenedetti discussed how Democrats are facing a reckoning, noting how there seems to be a major divide between Biden and his allies on one side and Harris and her loyalists on the other. In a scathing piece, titled, “There Has to Be a Backup Plan. There’s a Backup Plan, Right? Inside the 2024 soul-searching that’s happening in every corner of the Democratic Party,” earlier this month.
According to the piece:
With Trumpism re-ascendant, ambivalence about Biden’s age and political standing is fueling skepticism just as the image of his understudy, Vice-President Kamala Harris, dips even further than his. The most recent analysis from the Los Angeles Times has her net approval rating at negative 11. The result is a bizarre disconnect within the Democratic Party, with two factions talking past each other.
One group consists of Biden and his loyalists, who are convinced that while the ticket’s numbers are undeniably bleak, they’re historically unsurprising for a president and VP facing their first midterm and will surely bounce back. The second group comprises a broad swath of the Democratic elite and rank and file alike, who suspect that vectors of age, succession, and strategy have created a dynamic with no obvious parallel in recent history.
Debenedetti notes that Harris expects Biden to run again in 2024, but if he did step aside, would he endorse Harris as the Democratic nominee?
Most think Harris would win the nomination if Biden backed her, and no one thinks he would ever actively endorse anyone else. But to her doubters, that itself is reason to think that “Biden has to run again because he desperately has to keep Trump out of the White House and defend our democracy,” as one Capitol Hill supporter puts it. “And I have no doubts Kamala Harris can’t win.”
The inside-baseball gripes and anonymous knifing would be easier to shrug off if not for the flurry of sub-rosa activity elsewhere in the party, which suggests a potential Harris candidacy may not be intimidating enough to keep others away from 2024.
And this isn’t just some spurious rumor being spread. White House insiders are painting a picture of total chaos and discontent between Biden and Harris, in a CNN report from late last year.
Biden’s administration allies have avoided Harris because they see “entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus” from her, the CNN reports claimed.
Meanwhile, members of Biden’s inner circle have essentially been charged with racism by Harris’ allies for failing to stand up for her.
