Vice President Kamala Harris may turn out to be the most consequential vice president in modern history in the upcoming 2024 election, as Republicans seek to pair Harris’ unpopularity with President Biden’s old age in their pitch to voters.
Harris is an unpopular vice president. Like her running mate, President Biden, has ridden the low 40s in most approval polls as of late. In fact, across approval rating polls, Harris hasn’t gone out of the 40s in her approval rating since her first year in office in 2021.
Democrats are afraid to express concern over Biden’s age ahead of the 2024 election publicly because they fear the vice president as the alternative.
