Kamala says she "has spoken with elected Republicans and Republican leadership" about the voting rights bill. But does not recall who they were. Named Lisa Murkowski and then Murkoski said they just talked about infrastructure. When kneepads are all you got to work with, I guess. Harris struggles to name GOP senators she’s spoken to on voting rights https://nypost.com/2021/07/21/harris-struggles-to-name-gop-senators-shes-spoken-to-on-voting-rights/
Skankala running her life and strategies the same way that she did in the campaign. Totally disorganized and looking for direction. She flopped on the border role. Yeh, I get that she is Miss Root Cause, not just the Border Queen but even if we were to accept that, well then, what's going on there? Oh I see a quick hit and run trip to some shit hole countries who then reported that their meetings were worthless and that she didn't get it. So now she has tried to align herself with this voting rights thing- thinking that that is more woke and has more support from the progressives and is a more zippy area to carve out some kind of role. Except she is at high risk of just ending out being aligned with a voting rights bill that does not pass. womp....womp. Kamala Harris......have kneepads, will travel. Kamala Harris looks to turn the page as she zeroes-in on voting rights CNN)Vice President Kamala Harris is making voting rights her top public focus, elevating a long-shot battle as she seeks to more clearly define her role and stake out high-value territory within the Biden administration. A little more than six months into her time in office, Harris is also hiring new staff to replace those who announced their departures earlier this summer. One source says they're even considering additions to her communications team, citing heightened interest in her vice presidency, which at times has seen some missteps and intense scrutiny. The vice president's carefully crafted push to put voting rights center stage in the past two weeks includes speeches, meetings with activists and local leaders across the country, and calls to lawmakers on Capitol Hill to find a way forward on the issue even as legislation remains at a standstill. "It's given people something to really sort of focus on, that is so important to the country, and so foundational to what all of those in her office believe is critically important," said a source familiar with the dynamics in Harris' office, who contended that her team would have taken on the issue regardless. "It's a good way for them to sort of turn the page and really begin to potentially create some better dynamics within the office." But the assignment also presents another political challenge for Harris as voting rights legislation currently has little hope of advancing on Capitol Hill. The question now is whether Harris can build confidence in her ability to lead one of the administration's top priorities, an issue that has no quick solution but could galvanize Democratic activists across the country ahead of the 2022 midterm campaign. "The fact that we are continuing to have conversations, that the issue of voting rights is so present and prevalent in the media, is a direct result of the work that just the administration has been doing to elevate that issue," said Symone Sanders, Harris' chief spokesperson and senior adviser, told reporters this week. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/23/politics/kamala-harris-voting-rights/index.html

As I said recently, there seems to be some effort/strategy to rehabilitate Kamala's image and track record by moving her Root Cause Queen over to allegedly spearheading the "voter rights" campaign. Allegedly, this is more woke and progressive and an area where she can perform better because all she has to do is bloviate and repeat the Jim Crow mantra. But also as I said, and shamelessly repeat, I think that that strategy is a train wreck if the goal is to rehab her image. People are already on her arse for the border failure and her lack of not only effectiveness but just lack off work of any kind. Now the dems are sharpening their knives about the problems related to lack of progress on voting rights (progress as they define it) and many/most are already underwhelmed or flat-out dislike Kamala already. Quite likely she is on the verge or adding another catastrophic failure to her short tenure in office, on top of the border dsaster.
