Kamala Harris frustrated: "Used by Biden to win, but to rule he keeps me on the bench"

Kamala Harris is "frustrated" by a role, that of vice president, which is increasingly narrow.

Also because Joe Biden, in this way she confided in her allies, “he used me to win, but now he keeps me on the bench to govern”.

First deputy woman and Afro-Asian, Kamala Harris's balance sheet for this 2021 which is about to end is not the best, on the contrary ... Confiding with allies on the difficulties in managing a particularly difficult portfolio of tasks, from the right to vote to immigration, she also vented for the media coverage she received: "Not enough," she argues, and in any case different from her 48 predecessors, all men and whites.

Even among Democrats, according to the New York Times, there is a lot of frustration about the role in which the vice president has been placed. The complexity of the dossiers entrusted to her should have prompted the White House to defend her more aggressively, says Congresswoman Karen Bass.

Harris since arriving in Washington has sought advice from other women, including Hillary Clinton: "There is a double standard used in judging her, it was the same for me," Clinton pointed out speaking with the NYT.

Harris's popularity has waned since he took over as vice president. To date, according to polls, 40% are in favor, despite 52% who do not like it.
