Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre whether Vice President Kamala Harris would run for governor if the 2024 election “doesn’t go her way.” I asked please.
Harris reportedly “joked with friends” that she would run for governor of California when Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s final term expires in 2026. according to to the gazette. People close to Harris deny these reports.
“Did you hear Vice President Harris telling her friends that if the election doesn’t go well, she might go back to California and run for governor?” Doocy asked during a Thursday briefing. .
“That’s news to me. All I can say is that the vice president has been a great partner to the president. He appreciates all the work she’s done. I’m sure she’ll be happy to help with reproductive health on these tours. Rights, gun violence, combating gun violence across the country, obviously prevention, and leading her first historic office from the White House, she’s been a great partner, and the president has admired her leadership. I appreciate it and that’s all I have to say.”
“That never happened,” Harris spokeswoman Kirsten Allen told reporters. “This November, the vice president will prepare to take office for a second term in the Biden-Harris administration.” (Related: Kamala Harris point-blank asked why the Biden administration is so unpopular)
Harris has had dismal approval ratings throughout her term as vice president, currently at 38.2%. according to To FiveThirtyEight. Her disapproval rating is currently 51.3%. Many Americans are “frustrated” with Harris and are reflecting on what she has done during her tenure.
As of June 2023, the vice president has a net negative rating of -17, the lowest vice presidential favorability rating in the history of the NBC News poll. Of the 1,000 people surveyed, 32% had a positive view of Harris, while 49% had a negative view. Of these, 39% had a “very negative opinion.”
Mr. Doocy also told reporters that the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached 40,000 points for the first time on Thursday, even though Mr. Biden had previously said that it was not indicative of the state of the economy. I asked him about what he celebrated. Jean-Pierre said the president’s economic policies are effective and are bringing satisfaction to the American people.
