Vice President Kamala Harris and her media allies have been in a mad scramble to hide her key role in the administration’s border crisis.
And now we know why.
Likely voters in the latest Rasmussen Reports survey not only give her effort a failing grade but plan to consider the disaster in their vote for president in November.
According to the latest results shared with Secrets, 63% rate Harris “poor” to “fair” on the issue. Most, 48%, call her “poor.”
Worse possibly is that among those who rate her job poorly are 53% of Hispanics, 50% of black voters, and 70% of independents.
And when asked if Harris’s role on the issue will be important to their vote for president, 60% said it would.
The illegal immigrant crisis has hung around the neck of President Joe Biden and Harris ever since the administration entered the White House and immediately wiped away all the border-closing initiatives put in place by former President Donald Trump.
The surge in illegal crossings got so bad that Biden put Harris in charge of finding an answer. The media at the time said she was named the “border czar.”
Biden, in announcing his move in 2021, said, “I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.”
