Staff Reports
Many Americans believe President Joe Biden is too old and not mentally or physically suitable to be President for another term, without even mentioning running for election again. The Biden campaign uses many surrogates to support him, with Vice President Kamala Harris being one of the top ones. She is heading to Washington State for fundraising events, with tickets ranging from $500 to a whopping $50,000, emphasizing how desperately the Biden camp needs money and support.
The fundraising events were reported by the media last week, with all funds raised going to the Biden Victory Fund, shared among the Biden-Harris campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and state-level Democratic Party organizations. This fundraising effort shows the campaign’s struggles to gather resources and backing for the President.

President Biden’s campaign has faced numerous challenges, as observed in a TIME magazine article. The plan to use surrogates to speak on his behalf suggests his incapability to handle the demands of the campaign. The Pew Research Center found that most voters lack confidence in Biden’s mental and physical abilities, raising concerns about his effectiveness in office.
Vice President Harris has taken a lead role as Biden’s surrogate, attacking former President Trump and championing controversial Democratic issues. Despite her low approval ratings, Harris has become the face of the campaign, often overshadowing President Biden in public appearances. Her polarizing personality and rhetoric have made her a target for criticism, but some prefer hearing from her rather than Biden.
In conclusion, the reliance on surrogates like Harris highlights Biden’s shortcomings and his inability to connect with the American people. Harris’s aggressive campaign style may appeal to some, but her divisive approach and low approval ratings raise questions about the Biden administration’s strategy moving forward.
