Kamala Harris emphasizes that supporting Biden is supporting her path to the White House
The Biden campaign has made the decision to have Vice President Kamala Harris actively participate in campaign activities, rather than keeping her out of the spotlight. However, this move could potentially highlight the fact that she is next in line should President Biden become unable to fulfill his duties.
Recent polling data shows that Harris has a net favorability rating of -17.2, indicating that she is not as popular as President Biden. Her unfavorable ratings are largely due to personal factors, such as her tendency to make confusing statements and lack of firm principles.
Despite her past unsuccessful presidential bid, Harris has been chosen as the Vice President due to her historic background as a woman of African and Indian descent. While her campaign appearances may be seen as a way to engage with key demographic groups, they may not necessarily impact closely contested states in the upcoming election.
It is clear that concerns about Biden’s age are influencing voter perceptions, and the idea of Harris potentially taking over as President only adds to these uncertainties. Therefore, her campaign visits may be more about symbolic gestures than true battleground states.
If Vice President Harris visits your state in the coming months, it may indicate that the state is not heavily contested in the upcoming election. However, her presence could serve as a small trade-off for avoiding an inundation of campaign advertisements.
