Kamala Harris to get $10M campaign boost in 'unprecedented' move
Fox News' Bret Baier discusses the perceived 'vulnerability' of Biden's VP in the 2024 campaign, Gov. Gavin Newsom's political future and the latest installment of Fox Nation's 'Senate Project' debate series with Sens. Joni Ernst and Jeanne Shaheen.
NBC News reported on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has the dubious distinction of having the lowest net-negative rating of modern vice presidents in the history of their polling.
According to a new NBC News poll, only 32% of registered voters have a positive view of Harris, compared to 49% with a negative view, including 39% with a "very negative view." This leaves Harris with a net -17 rating, which NBC News noted is "the lowest for any vice president in the poll’s history."
Harris' -17 net rating lined up against the last four vice presidents during their tenures, with Mike Pence -4 in Oct. 2019, Joe Biden +1 in Dec. 2010, Dick Cheney +23 in May 2003, and Al Gore +15 in March 1995.

"Racism clearly," commentator Ian Miles Cheong wrote.
