(Daily Caller) For the second time in just a month, President Joe Biden (accidentally?) threw Kamala Harris under the bus and undermined her campaign to the benefit of Republicans.
Biden first said on “The View” in late September that he “was able to delegate [Harris’s] responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy,” undercutting her campaign message — and the media’s narrative — that she was only a bystander in his administration and that his failures would’ve been successes had she been in charge.
BIDEN: “As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.”

The president did it again Monday night when he spoke with Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis about inbound Hurricane Milton, all while Harris was accusing the governor of playing political games by allegedly “refusing” to answer her own phone call. DeSantis denied “refusing” her call, saying at a press conference the same day that he wasn’t even aware she had reached out.

Biden also praised DeSantis’s response to the hurricane during a press conference Tuesday afternoon, saying he’s doing a “great job” despite the vice president’s attack.

Suffice it to say, this is not a good look for Harris, who has faced criticism recently for recording an interview on the risqué podcast “Call Her Daddy” as Americans across the Southeast are still suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. As to whether Biden is doing this on purpose, it is doubtful.
Frankly, it’s doubtful the president even knew he was talking to DeSantis and that they were talking about a storm. But it will certainly give Republicans ammunition as they cast Harris as a callous candidate who’s too busy engaging in petty hurricane politics and spreading lies about abortion with an e-harlot to lead and assist fellow Americans in a time of crisis.
