In a recent revelation that may leave both supporters and critics scratching their heads, President Joe Biden has boldly claimed that he has handed over “everything” related to his duties as commander-in-chief to Vice President Kamala Harris. This includes key areas like foreign and domestic policy. One has to wonder if this is the kind of teamwork everyone was promised during the 2020 campaign – though it seems more like a pass-the-buck scenario than a grand display of leadership.
Harris, in her attempts to distance herself from the less-than-stellar record of the Biden-Harris administration, has been busy crafting a narrative that implies she’s all about fresh ideas and forward-thinking policies. In a recent interview, she managed to paint herself as a beacon of new generation leadership while trying to transition away from the failures of the administration she is a part of. It’s quite the juggling act—one that can only be performed with a hefty amount of denial.

Polls reveal a stark reality: a staggering 57% of registered voters feel they are worse off now than they were during the Trump presidency. Additionally, only a measly 25% of Americans think the current economic conditions are anything to cheer about. This could give a person whiplash trying to keep up with the upbeat rhetoric coming from the White House when reality paints a picture that is anything but rosy.
Biden’s comments during a recent appearance on The View have raised more than a few eyebrows. While attempting to rally support for Harris, he laid some blame on her for the administration’s failure to tackle crime, curb inflation, secure the southern border, or manage the withdrawal from Afghanistan with any semblance of competence. His message seemed less like an endorsement and more like an attempt to share the blame—just in case voters come looking for answers.
Simply put, Harris finds herself in a dilemma of epic proportions. She’s stuck in a situation where she cannot openly campaign on her policies for addressing crime, inflation, or border security without underlining the shortcomings of the Biden-Harris administration. Yet, if she touts any of their policies, she faces the risk of looking like a cheerleader for a game that her team is decidedly losing. It’s a tricky balancing act that could lead to quite the spectacle as the campaign heats up, showcasing just how much of a mess the Democratic leadership really is.
