Vice President Kamala Harris is poised to play a critical role in next year's election as President Joe Biden seeks a second term
“That is the vice president that America is going to get a chance to get to know for the first time,” said Laphonza Butler, a former adviser to Harris who leads EMILY’s List.
“If you vote for Joe Biden, you really are counting on a President Harris," Haley said."Because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old" — the age Biden would be at the end of a second term —"is not something that I think is likely.” Harris' appearance at her alma mater Howard University on Tuesday night, the same day that Biden announced his reelection bid, was a first look of how she'll approach the campaign. Her focus on abortion echoed her message, but was even more barbed than usual as she targeted"extremists" she accused of taking away people's rights.
Not everyone has felt that way, and she's faced chatter from the sidelines over whether Biden should replace her as vice president. She consistently polls worse than Biden, whose own numbers are underwater.
