‘Look at the Record’: White House Says Kamala Harris Has Been a ‘Critical Partner’ on Policy DecisionsWendell Husebø 10 Sep 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris “has been a critical partner” in the administration’s policy decisions, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Monday.
The statement ties Harris to the administration’s failures. Under the Biden-Harris administration, costs soared about 20 percent across the board, migrant crime spiked, illegal immigrants invaded the southern border, Russia invaded Ukraine, and 13 U.S. troops died during the Afghan withdrawal.
The statement also puts pressure on Harris’s debate performance set for Tuesday, as she will likely try to present herself as the agent of change. Democrats believe Harris must admit to the failures of the administration to survive being exposed as the status quo candidate of the past three and a half years.
Harris must “praise Biden and talk about the accomplishments, but also acknowledge that the work is not done,” Bakari Sellers, an ally of Harris and a Democrat political commentator, told the New York Times.
Harris has vulnerabilities as the vice president: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.
“The vice president has been a critical partner — a critical partner to this president,” Jean-Pierre said. “All you’ve got to do is look at the record and what we have been able to do in the past three and a half years — the Biden-Harris administration has been able to do.”
