Allies to Vice President Kamala Harris are hoping her new assignment on gun safety legislation will lift her low job approval rating and positively affect her political image as the 2024 race looms.
President Joe Biden established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention on Sept. 22, and named Harris to oversee it.
“Every time I’ve met with families impacted by gun violence as they mourn their loved ones, and I’ve met with so many throughout the country, they all have the same message for their elected officials: ‘Do something,’” Biden said announcing the office in a White House statement. “That’s why I’m announcing additional steps forward, with the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, overseen by Vice President Harris, to build upon these measures and keep Americans safe.”
