Summary

She is looking to benefit from an extensive schedule of midterm campaigning that aides hope will revive Democrats’ faith in her political skills and popular appeal.And after a year during which Biden often seemed to put Harris in charge of intractable, no-win issues, she is suddenly at the center of what, for the moment at least, is the administration’s top priority — voting rights. Simmons, her new communications director, had to apologize last week for years-old tweets in which he asked why immigration officials did not detain “undocumented folks.”Harris’s supporters have been frustrated for months that Biden has handed her politically fraught issues — including immigration and voting rights — without giving the vice president enough tools to be successful. Deputy White House press secretary Sabrina Singh said in a statement that the vice president has been involved in almost all the biggest issues facing the Biden administration.“Over the last year, the vice president worked closely with the president to further the administration’s goals of protecting the freedom to vote, combating covid-19, rebuilding our economy, investing in our nation’s infrastructure, strengthening America’s leadership and rebuilding America’s relationships with our allies,” Singh said.If that involvement has not always been apparent, Harris is now enjoying a rare moment when one of her big issues, voting rights, is at the top of the agenda for the president and the Democratic Party.Biden and Harris have showed a united front on voting rights in recent days, appearing side by side at major events on Capitol Hill and in Atlanta, projecting an image of partnership and unity.
