Some Americans are feeling “unsatisfied” with Vice President Kamala Harris going into the 2024 election, while others wonder what the elected official has been up to during her time in office, according to USA Today.

Throughout 2023, Harris headed the White House’s anti-Islamophobia task force and embarked on a tour of America’s colleges to tout different initiatives such as climate change, all while facing low favorability rankings. Despite Harris’ work in 2023, some Americans told USA Today they want the elected official to do more and have been left feeling unhappy with the initiatives she has taken on so far.

“I’m always wondering, why am I not hearing about her?” Julie Raino, a 66-year-old grief counselor in South Carolina, told the outlet. “The fact that I have to look for her is really strange.”

Harris and President Joe Biden have both struggled to gain popularity with Americans in the polls during 2023. The vice president recorded the lowest vice-presidential favorability rating in NBC News poll history, earning a net-negative rating of -17. In June, 49 percent of Americans said they had a negative view of Harris, while 39 percent took it a step further and said they had a “very negative view.”

Biden has seen his approval rating slip to the lowest it has been since he took office, falling to 34 percent, according to a Monmouth University poll. While some worry about the president’s fitness for office, some Americans are also worried about who Biden’s successor will be, USA Today reported.

“How is Biden preparing her for the role?” Anne Moncure, a 67-year-old from South Carolina, told USA Today, adding she doesn’t think Harris is up for the role of president.

In addition to trying to address the root causes of migration, Harris announced she would be visiting colleges across the nation in an effort to mobilize students to take action on issues such as climate change, the right to abortion and “book bans.” During that tour, Harris stopped at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, where a sophomore at the institution, Andrew Baxley, asked what actions the administration was doing for the right to abortion, USA Today reported.

Baxley also wanted to ask questions about the border crisis, but the White House instead asked students around campus to submit questions that circled around abortion, gun violence, climate change, voting and LGBTQ rights, according to USA Today. The students asking questions reportedly had to participate in a rehearsal of the event, and Baxley left feeling “unsatisfied” to see the vice president respond to alleged “scripted” questions, the outlet reported.

Baxley tried to talk to the vice president backstage but was turned away by a Harris aide, USA Today reported.

“And I feel as though, had I been able to really have a more personal connection with her, and possibly speak more in depth with her, that could have been possible,” Baxley said, saying he left without having a positive feeling about the vice president.

With 2023 coming to an end, the vice president has set her sights on 2024, announcing another tour of the country, this time to advocate for the right to abortion. The vice president will kick off the tour with a trip to Wisconsin, targeting the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to reverse Roe V. Wade and give the authority to regulate abortions back to the states.

“In the new year, I will be traveling the country to organize, build community, and fight back. Because when we fight, we win,” Harris said to close out her 2023 initiatives.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
