(RepublicanPress.org) – After President Joe Biden’s letter was posted on social media just two days ago, the American public started speculating about who would replace him on the ticket. It didn’t take long for the US leader to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the job, and many Democratic leaders fell in line to do the same. But what do Americans really know about the VP?
Before becoming the vice president in 2021, Harris served in several positions in public service, including California attorney general, San Francisco district attorney, and US senator. But her time in those positions didn’t come without some scandals and controversy, and her presumptive rise to the top of the presidential ticket brought those to the surface. Some of those date back to the ‘90s, while other criticisms stem from her current position as VP.
In 2016, former Division of Law Enforcement Director Larry Wallace, who worked under then-CA Attorney General Harris, was reportedly accused of “gender harassment” by a former executive assistant in 2016. She was transitioning to her senator position at the time of the accusation and had little to say on the matter. Her spokesperson said they were “unaware of the issue” but said they “take accusations of harassment extremely seriously.” The year before, Harris was reportedly slammed by a federal appeals judge after her office seemingly brushed off a case where prosecutors allegedly used a fake confession to get a conviction.
More recently, the vice president has faced harsh criticism about her work at as Border Czar — or her lack thereof. Former Commissioner of Customs Border Protection Mark Morgan told Just the News that she “fully supported the dismantling of the network of tools, authorities, and policies” from the previous administration.
The apparent turnover in her official office was also a point of concern, with a watchdog organization reporting that over 91% of her staff has left since she took office as VP.
