[Just The News] It's no secret that the past few weeks have not been President Joe Biden's best. But what about the costar of the "Biden-Harris administration?"
The vice president has been conspicuously absent lately from coverage and appearances pertaining to the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan — after having proudly claimed just four months ago to have been the "last person in the room" with Biden as he decided to fully withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
Kamala Harris' absence is especially puzzling given the recent drop-off of confidence in the president. The generally even-keeled Mike Pence was often trotted out to take questions as head of the coronavirus task force, especially after days of the more combative commander-in-chief duking it out with the press corps. The same, however, cannot be said of this vice president.
Speculation that the VP has been benched due to her performance in recent months is beginning to bubble up. "They had a minority, they had a woman, and now that they don't need her, they have her shelved," said Fox News' Will Cain
Harris' approval numbers appear to be plummeting even faster than Biden's, which are now underwater. Harris, however, according to the Real Clear Politics average, is now looking at a favorability rating of just 41.8%, with an unfavorability rating of 48.8%. |
