Republican strategist Brad Todd criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’ Tuesday speech as “political malfeasance” and said it was difficult for her to speak in front of the White House amid President Joe Biden’s high disapproval ratings. He argued that it was not wise.
Mr. Harris gave his closing argument. speech At the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., she urged her supporters to vote for her and warned that a Trump presidency would bring “further” chaos and division. Todd said on “Anderson Cooper 360” that a majority of Americans blame Biden and Harris for the direction of the country, and that Harris should speak in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh instead. suggested that it was.
“I hate to be a skunk at garden parties here, but you know, I make a living organizing political events, and to have her in front of this White House… I think it was political malfeasance. 68% of Americans think this country is going in the wrong direction, and they blame Joe Biden and increasingly they blame Kamala Harris. “By standing in front of the White House tonight, she will take all of that disapproval with her,” Todd said.
“I think that’s the reason for the comfort. I think northwest Washington, D.C., is close to her best neighborhood in America. Everyone likes her there,” Todd added. She should have been at the Union Lodge in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh tonight – she would have been better off. ”

“Also, I don’t think she did much for Nikki Haley’s voters. They talked a lot this week about going after Haley’s voters.

We didn’t get anything either. I don’t think this is the last time she’ll move the ball,” Todd concluded.
Harris has reportedly tried to distance herself from Biden since becoming the party’s nominee. She faced backlash on Oct. 8 after she said on ABC’s “The View” when asked if she would change anything from the past four years, “I can’t think of anything.”
