Kamala Harris is utterly flubbing her job as veep

Besides being bad at politics, she is bad at governing. In California, she pushed a policy to force nonprofit groups to turn over their donor lists to the state. She mishandled it so badly that the Supreme Court ruled against her after a vast array of her own political allies filed briefs saying that her policy had violated their First Amendment rights. Even the Biden administration’s legal brief threw her under the bus.

Everything Harris has touched in the vice presidency has been a fiasco. She scrambled to backtrack when Biden made her the face of the administration’s border policy, ­ensnaring her in weeks of ­embarrassing efforts to answer when she would visit the border. Her lame excuse to NBC’s Lester Holt: “I haven’t been to Europe,” either.

On a trip to Central America, she tried to talk tough on immigration — “Do not come,” she declared, in terms that she would have ­denounced as heartless and worse coming from Trump — while the president of Guatemala reminded her that people were coming because of her administration’s own messages.

Harris has faced a barrage of bad press even from outlets like CNN that typically lavish Democrats with praise. Those ­reports often deliver barbs from sources inside the administration who obviously loathe and disdain Harris. CNN reported that her team had been in a “panic” over the border assignment. A Politico report based on interviews with 22 current and former staffers detailed the dysfunctional and unhealthy ­atmosphere on Harris’s staff.
