On Friday, Kathleen Parker, a columnist with the Washington Post, issued a surprising message to Vice President Kamala Harris, urging her to “step aside,” as she called the vice president’s performance “disappointing,” and warned she’s become a “burden to the Democratic ticket.”
In her opinion piece, entitled, “For the country’s sake, Vice President Harris should step aside,” Parker claimed that she was pulling for Harris’ success, but argued that her performance in the first 3 years of the Biden Administration “has been disappointing.”
“The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop. The seriousness of this situation can’t be overstated. Biden’s diminishing faculties, notwithstanding his relatively successful State of the Union address, and his increasing physical frailty are concerning,” Parker wrote.
“Whatever the reasons, it has seemed that Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others,” Parker wrote.
Parker also argued that her perspective was non-partisan, as she also called for Sarah Palin to quit in 2008.
She noted that Harris was unpopular with voters, and said that her popularity was unlikely to spike if she were to become president, should something happen to President Biden.
“There’s no reason to think her ranking would spike were she suddenly promoted to the Oval Office. Instead, most signs point to disaster. This is why I propose with all due respect that Harris step away from the ticket,” Parker continued.
“Please, Madame Vice President, do it for your country,” Parker concluded.
In Early March, USA Today and Suffolk University released a joint poll, which found that Harris is more unpopular than both President Biden and former President Trump.
The data from the survey, which was conducted at a national level, shows that approximately 52% of registered voters disapprove of her performance as vice president.
Harris recently said during a media interview that she was “ready to serve,” prior to the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents.
“I am ready to serve. There’s no question about that,” Harris told The Wall Street Journal, adding that everyone who observes her work “walks away fully aware of my capacity to lead.”
