Things are not as they appear between President Biden and vice president harris. There appears to be tensions as the house oversight committee held a hearing on the administration’s Legacy of incompetence . The GOP lawmakers criticize detrimental policies and the weak leadership. Kamala Harris makes less media appearances than Joe Biden in his campaign.
Biden-Harris Administration Under Fire
The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability recently held a hearing that criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s record. The hearing, titled “A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Policy Failures,” highlighted a number of criticisms of the current leadership’s approach to governance.
Republicans were blunt in their assessment of the administration’s performance. They cited record-high inflation, an ongoing border crisis, and global instability as examples of poor leadership and detrimental policies. These accusations were not just rhetoric; they were supported by expert testimony and a detailed memorandum released by Chairman James Comer.
TENSIONS RISE BETWEEN BIDEN AND HARRIS
This is now a problem for Kamala, if Biden's folks are sabotaging her. It's not surprising, given how he was shoved aside for her. @BrianGlennTV @RealDrGina @DBrodyReports @TBatesNews pic.twitter.com/BMyyt072LT— Real America's Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) October 14, 2024
Policy Failures and Their Consequences
The hearing revealed several specific areas in which the Biden-Harris administration’s policies allegedly fell short. Expert witnesses testified that the administration’s approach has resulted in a border crisis, a waste of taxpayer dollars, a loss of international credibility, and a reduction in US energy production. One particularly striking example was the $42 billion internet expansion program’s failure, which was cited as evidence of fiscal mismanagement.
Republicans accused the administration of prioritizing a progressive agenda over effective governance. This focus, they argued, has led to increased costs for consumers and even contributed to a military recruitment crisis. Republicans have accused the administration of using environmental reviews to delay critical energy projects.
"Delivering a Harris loss would conveniently terminate the political career of the known airhead with no racial fallout."

Media Strategy Raises Eyebrows
Adding to the administration’s challenges is Vice President Kamala Harris’s media strategy, which appears to be following in the footsteps of President Biden’s previous campaign tactics. Harris has been notably absent from major media outlets, opting instead for targeted interviews and avoiding press interactions. This approach mirrors Biden’s strategy during his campaign, which was criticized for limiting public scrutiny and leaving key policy positions unclear.
The decision to limit media exposure is seen by some as an attempt to prevent negative coverage of minor issues. However, critics argue that this strategy may backfire by reinforcing negative narratives and leaving Harris’s stance on major issues shrouded in mystery. The Vice President has conducted only one nationally televised interview since becoming the nominee, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by political observers.
A Call for Transparency
As the Biden-Harris administration grapples with these challenges, there is an increasing call for greater transparency and media engagement.Despite the fragmented media landscape, major news outlets continue to have a significant influence, making engagement with these platforms critical for shaping public opinion.
As the administration moves forward, it will have to address policy criticisms while also reconsidering its media strategy.
