President Joe Biden’s health has been a concern for many, and those worries are escalating after the elderly president’s recent fall at an Air Force graduation ceremony. This situation has created an undeniably uncomfortable position for Democrats, who are now forced to push Kamala Harris as presidential material despite her notoriously bad poll numbers. The White House is making a concerted effort to bolster Harris’ image, even though most Americans do not approve of her, with her aggregate approval ratings at a measly 37.8%.
Behind the scenes, White House strategist Anita Dunn is working to elevate the vice president’s image and prominence. The White House is using their public engagement and political teams to schedule events with Harris and promote her on popular causes like abortion rights and infrastructure spending. This approach is already echoing Biden’s presidential campaign, where Harris can be seen more than a dozen times in the video trailer.

However, despite these efforts, Harris is still struggling to gain any popularity with the American people. Fox News contributor Tom Shillue pointed out the vice president’s notorious habit of using a word salad, which has only gotten worse since taking office. Harris’ inability to effectively communicate with adults is a growing concern, and it is unclear how her presidency would differ from Biden’s.

Overall, it is concerning that the current administration is attempting to push Harris forward despite the undeniable lack of support from the American people. With President Biden’s health in question, Americans deserve a leader that they can trust and believe in, instead of being forced to settle for someone who is not fit for the job.
