Video: Kamala Harris Tries To Desperately Shift Blame

As of Friday morning, President Joe Biden’s approval rating in the RealClearPolitics polling aggregate stands at 39.6 percent favorable and 55.3 percent unfavorable, resulting in a negative spread of 15.7 percent. Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, is faring even worse with a 36.2 percent favorable rating and 55.0 percent unfavorable rating, leading to a negative spread of 18.8 percent.

In comparison, former President Donald Trump, who has been portrayed by the current administration and its media allies as an insurrectionist, election-denier, and a threat to democracy, had a 41.6 percent favorable rating and 55.9 percent unfavorable rating, resulting in a negative spread of 12.3 percent.

While Trump’s ratings were not particularly high, considering the relentless demonization he faced from the administration and the mainstream media in the United States and the West, it is noteworthy that both President Biden and Vice President Harris have lower favorability ratings than him. This speaks volumes about their failures.

So, what is the underlying issue here, especially as we approach an election year? What can the Biden administration do differently to ensure that both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do not find themselves seeking new positions come next January? Interestingly, Harris recently discussed her perspective on this matter during an interview with Katie Couric. According to Harris, the key is for them to start taking “adequate credit” for their accomplishments. Yes, you heard it right. The vice president believes that their unpopularity stems from their modesty.

During the interview, Couric showered the Biden administration with praise for their supposed accomplishments and questioned why this had not translated into soaring popularity. It was undoubtedly the easiest interview, filled with softball questions, that Couric could have thrown.

However, the reality remains that the American people are not swayed by empty rhetoric and self-congratulatory statements. They are looking for tangible results and effective leadership. It is not a matter of inadequate credit; it is a matter of delivering on promises and addressing the concerns of the American people.

“An infrastructure bill, finally,” Couric said. “The CHIPS Act, the Safer Communities Act, addressing gun violence, to name three legislative accomplishments. Low unemployment. Millions of jobs created. Inflation down. The stock market up … and yet, you and President Biden’s approval ratings are at historic lows.”

“Why do you think that is, given what I just outlined?” she asked.

Maybe it was due to the fact that she was conversing with an interviewer who shared a similar perspective and appeared just as unaware as she was about the reasons behind their plummeting approval ratings, but she unintentionally revealed more than she intended.

Harris initiated the conversation by stating that if she had relied solely on polls, she would have never pursued her initial political position, and perhaps not even her subsequent ones. Therefore, she only places limited importance on poll results. Subsequently, she proceeded to enumerate the perceived “achievements” of the Biden administration in areas such as the economy, prescription drug expenses, student loan debt, and infrastructure.

“Historic work has happened, no question. It is incumbent on us to let people know who brung it to them, frankly,” the vice president said.

“So, you’re right, we have a lot of accomplishments, and I think what the American people want most in their leaders is that we actually get things done — and we have done it,” Harris said. “We haven’t taken adequate credit for it, frankly, and we’ve got to do a better job of getting the word out about what we have accomplished and who did it.”
