Some 39 percent of Americans approve of Ms. Harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of Democrats in the White House, on Capitol Hill and around the nation — including some who helped put her on the party’s 2020 ticket — said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country. And her critics and detractors alike acknowledge that the vice presidency is intended to be a supporting role, and many of her predecessors have labored to make themselves relevant, as well. The teachers she was about to address were on the front lines of the nation’s culture wars, Ms. She has already made history as the first woman, the first African American and the first Asian American ever to serve as vice president, but she has still struggled to define her role much beyond that legacy.

Border Patrol agents made a record-breaking 2.3 million immigrant encounters during the 2022 fiscal year, according to Customs Border and Protection. However, now that Democrats hold a 51-49 majority, that could open the vice president up to getting more face time with voters ahead of the 2024 cycle. However, record-high immigration numbers and a rise in drug smuggling over the last two years have hurt Harris’s reputation on the matter. Harris has been weighed down by other similar gaffes, typically resulting in the vice president giving a long-winded answer that critics attack as not being substantive. Although she has kept a lower profile during the first two years of the Biden administration, Harris has had her fair share of challenges dealing with negative headlines, gaffes, and staff turnover. Biden has not yet declared his intent to run for reelection in 2024, but the president has hinted at doing so in the past few months.
