Politics is a strange business. All the attention paid to Kabul and the coronavirus has taken some of the pressure off Vice President Kamala Harris, who spent the early part of the summer taking heat over the large increase of migrants heading to the U.S.-Mexico border.

David AxelrodThe same could be said for Harris, who also needs to tend to her political base in California if she wants to run for president again.Last week, I traveled with Harris to Hampton University, where she promoted STEM education and the importance of historically Black colleges and universities. Politicians love STEM education, even if the rest of us have trouble remembering the wonky acronym stands for “science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

It was one of the most enthusiastic receptions I’ve seen for Harris. Students oohed and aahed when she made an unscheduled visit into a classroom in the business school. An even bigger group cheered loudly as she walked to an outside rope line before leaving in the vice-presidential motorcade. Such events are not likely to boost Harris’ sagging approval numbers; controlled roundtable discussions and staged tours of scientific labs don’t tend to make it onto cable news. Harris also did not answer questions from the traveling reporters about the news of the day, which may have gotten her attention on cable news.

The comfort she displayed as Biden’s running mate has seemingly evaporated, and these quiet events may help her regain her political footing. She badly needs to find it — keeping a low profile is not a successful long-term strategy for a politician with presidential aspirations.Your support helps us deliver the news that matters most.— Harris pressed lawmakers on Wednesday to back legislation that she said would expand access to child care and raise the wages of day-care workers, reports Erin B.

But I haven't been to Europe.

Keeping her away from Washington let all of the administrations enemies to attack Biden . She has brains and can help empower women and minorities to get vaccinated.

What did she do to eliminate pressure

Eases for now or no media coverage about the outrage😆

Because no one could find her.

Gtfo with this headline. Blocking now.

And why was there political pressure in the first place? Ohhhhhh the filthy repubs wanted attention diverted away from other anti-US activities the GOP were conducting. She hasn't stopped doing what she was doing? Why no interest now?

Op, ya jinxed it

She’s a joke

slow news day?

That's because she has hidden herself so well people have forgotten her.

All I hear is negative spin from the major newspapers on the President and VP. This is so tiresome and obviously artificial.

So your story amounts to: the Dems hid Harris in a bunker and now criticism has stopped? Riiiiiiight.

Wow careful-you’re sounding backhandedly supportive? For now…

you guys should stick to movie reviews. You clearly have no fkn clue what's going on with Kamala Harris &/or you're determined to paint 1st black woman/Asian American VP as incompetent & useless when in fact she's 1 of the most intelligent, competent qualified women in the world

Hard to apply pressure when she stays out the spot light now isnt it?

She’s done exactly nothing, what pressure could there be?

Americans are very volatile, in fact they have no idea what they really want!

Says who? Where is THE BORDER SZAR? While 12,000 illegals are living under a bridge before infiltrating the US in the largest Super spreader event EVER! Only reason the scrutiny is easing is because your protect and serve the Dems Paper and the other MSM all provide her cover!

Republicans’ criticism of Black women never ends.If she found a cure for cancer, brokered world peace, solved the border crisis, eradicated our national debt and left the nation with a bazillion dollar surplus, she’d still face a barrage of negative commentary from Republicans.

She doesn’t matter

you guys are a joke.

'Politics makes for strange bedfellows'

.The criticism came from the right wing and was amplified by THE MEDIA. GMAFB

how about real journalism? Ask questions that affect us, we don't give a sht about a summer of criticism. That doesn't mean anything.

lol Noah, completely inaccurate, while it may seem quieter, that's only because she's been hiding out, and attempting to dodge every issue out there. Everyone knows exactly what she is doing, so it really doesn't deserve much vocal criticism.

Please check out my new video if you like nature and biking! Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Thanks!LOVE EACHOTHER! SHARE THE LOVE!

She is staying in the background on purpose to let joe do everything ,not going too great at the moment.

I thought she was the border czar? Wtf is going on there.

If Kamala Harris was a old white man, would we be having this conversation

What is wrong with journalism

wow
