News of the resignation is already making waves in the national press and on social media sites. It also comes amid the vice president giving an interview with ABC News. During this interview, Harris faced specific questions concerning CNN’s recent article about her experiences in the White House.
When the vice president met inquiries about whether she believes the Biden administration is underusing or otherwise mistreating her, she laughed and said this wasn’t the case.
Recent polls thus far have shown Harris with a 28% approval rating. This is worse than Biden, who just sunk to 36% in yet another poll to newly come out.
The White House on Harris’ role in the administration
After CNN’s recent story about the vice president, the White House immediately jumped to her public defense. Press secretary Jen Psaki declared Biden relies profoundly upon the feedback and counsel from the vice president.
Psaki also declared Harris as a valued partner to the president and his administration. On Monday, when Biden approved into law the $1.2 trillion infrastructure legislation, he and Harris beamed, hugged, and remained in close proximity throughout the signing ceremony.
