Vice President Kamala Harris has struggled with likability throughout her political career, and the issue does not seem to have gone away during her first year and a half with the Biden administration.
According to Breitbart, Harris was scheduled to attend a Woman’s Leadership Forum fundraiser in May, where she would have been available to pose with fans for a photo for $15,000.
However, the event was postponed until the fall because the Democratic National Committee did not sell enough tickets.
Now, the DNC has reportedly slashed prices for a photo with Harris at an upcoming fundraiser in California.
According to Puck News reporter Tara Palmeri, the DNC will charge $5,000 for a picture with the vice president. That is a decrease of 66 percent from the price it planned to charge in May.
According to an average of approval polls from FiveThirtyEight, Harris had a net approval rating of -13.1 percentage points as of Friday. This was only slightly above President Joe Biden, whose approval rating was -15.1 percentage points as of Tuesday.
As the midterms approach, Harris’ inability to raise money and her abysmal approval rating are a serious concern for Democrats. Yet possibly even more concerning for Democrats is the 2024 presidential election.
In May, Intelligencer reported that many Democrats were hoping to find a replacement for Biden, whose age figures to be a big question with regard to a potential second term.
While Harris was originally assumed to be the heir apparent, her widespread unpopularity has put Democrats in a tough position.
