Sen.
Elizabeth Warren
(D-MA) wants to see President Joe Biden seek reelection. However, Warren was noncommittal when asked if Biden should stick with Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate in his reelection bid.

“I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team,” Warren recently
told GBH News
. “I’ve known Kamala for a long time. I like Kamala. I knew her back when she was an attorney general, and I was still teaching, and we worked on the housing crisis together, so we go way back. But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems. I think they are.”


WHITE HOUSE ASKS OF KAMALA HARRIS: ‘WHAT’S SHE DOING? WHERE IS SHE?’

The hesitancy about pairing Biden and Harris on a presidential ticket again is understandable. Given
the poor state
of the Biden presidency, and Harris’s performance in it, he should explore other vice presidential options in his reelection bid.

During Harris’s reign as
border czar
, the country is seeing its worst border crisis ever, with
250,000 migrant encounters
at the U.S.-Mexico border per month. This makes sense because Harris’s messaging on immigration has been terrible. She supported
decriminalizing illegal border crossings
and
providing illegal immigrants free healthcare
when running for president in the 2020 Democratic primary. Like Biden, she opposes necessary actions to deter illegal immigration, such as
more physical barriers
along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Economically, Harris is also a disaster. She is yet another economically illiterate Democrat who thinks the government should spend with virtually no limits. For example, she has supported the ridiculously expensive ”
Medicare for all
” and
Green New Deal
proposals, the latter of which is a socialist Trojan horse disguised as an environmental bill. This big government mentality from liberal politicians has
caused inflation
to skyrocket over the past few years.

Harris’s poor messaging has also caused some embarrassing moments for the Biden administration. On top of her recent
omission
of the right to “life” from the Declaration of Independence at an event in Michigan last month focused on climate change, Harris bizarrely professed her admiration for Venn diagrams.

“I love Venn diagrams. I do. I love Venn diagrams. So, the three circles — and you can do more! Nobody says a Venn diagram has to only be three circles, right?” Harris
said at the event

Plus, Harris
ranted
about the “passage of time” while she was supposed to be touting broadband expansion in Louisiana last March.

“We were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time,” she told the crowd. “Right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs,” Harris went on. “And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children and what that means to the future of our nation, depending on whether or not they have the resources they need to achieve their God-given talent.”

Harris also
laughs off
serious questions from reporters, which comes across as callous when asked questions about serious problems faced by the public.

Biden should consider picking a more centrist and rhetorically effective politician as his running mate in his reelection bid. If he wins again, we should hope he has a better Cabinet than he does now, and ousting Harris would be one of the easiest ways to make that happen.
