Vice President Harris Should 'Step Aside' For Good of The Country

The Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker argues that Vice President Kamala Harris should step aside from the Democratic ticket for the good of the country, as her performance has been disappointing and polls show she is unpopular with voters and a burden to President Biden. Parker contends that Harris' low approval ratings make her an unlikely asset if she had to assume the presidency, and for the seriousness of the situation, Harris should resign from the vice presidency.

Vice President Harris should "step aside," Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker
wrote on Friday, as she called the vice president's performance "disappointing," and
warned she's become a "burden to the Democratic ticket."

While she said she was pulling for Harris to succeed, Parker argued her performance "has
been disappointing."

"The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and
female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the
Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop. The
seriousness of this situation can’t be overstated. Biden’s diminishing faculties,
notwithstanding his relatively successful State of the Union address, and his increasing
physical frailty are concerning," Parker wrote .

‘WE’LL GET TO THAT AT SOME POINT'

"Whatever the reasons, it has seemed that Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she
embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts
from nowhere about nothing obvious to others," Parker wrote.

The headline to the column read, "For the country’s sake, Vice President Harris should step
aside."

Parker argued that her perspective was not partisan as she also called for Sarah Palin to
quit in 2008.

The Washington Post columnist noted Harris was unpopular with voters, and said her
popularity was unlikely to spike if she were to become president, should something
happen to President Biden.

"There’s no reason to think her ranking would spike were she suddenly promoted to the
Oval Office. Instead, most signs point to disaster. This is why I propose with all due
respect that Harris step away from the ticket," Parker continued.

AGE: REPORT

"Please, Madame Vice President, do it for your country," Parker concluded.

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll from early March found that Harris is more unpopular
than both President Biden and former President Trump.

The data from the national survey shows that approximately 52% of registered voters
disapprove of her performance as vice president.

Harris recently said during a media interview that she was "ready to serve," prior to the
release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's report on Biden's handling of classified
documents.

"Iam ready to serve. There’s no question about that," Harris told The Wall Street Journal,
adding that everyone who observes her work "walks away fully aware of my capacity to
lead."

Fox News Digital reached out to the Vice President's office for comment.
