President Biden is facing a tough reelection campaign and one of his biggest problems is his own vice president. Kamala Harris is hugely unpopular and even former White House employees say that she's not doing anything that helps the president. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins joins me to talk about this. As I look at the word salad queen, I think of Sarah Palin and John McCain. I think of Dan Quayle. You know, that's what you have here, right? And why don't you just call it what it is and say, I need somebody else to run. She's killing him.

Well, look, there's actually, there's a lot of people in this administration that are poison for President Biden's reelection campaign. But when you simply just look at the numbers and you see her unfavorables that are overwhelmingly, you know, majority of the country says, I don't like what she's doing. And then I think one of the most powerful things is the statements from the former White House employees themselves, the people that were there.

That is what's bothering me the most about it. They talk about her plan is incoherent. She's not smart. That came up, these are her ex-employees, you understand. This is staff that left her. They say that it's low morale. She causes low morale. It's a low trust factor. They don't trust her. They say she's lazy, she's abusive. And then they get mad and I think justifiably so when they say, when somebody accuses of it being racism, since it's coming from black staff members that are saying this. It's an exodus. So how do you ignore that and say, yeah, we're gonna stick with her. First of all, just look at her history. I mean, this is a woman who was Attorney General of California after she failed the bar exam. And I swear to God, I can't even listen to her. I can't even listen to that ridiculous laugh, when she's in a tense moment, she goes into this crazy, hysterical laugh. And you just wonder that mixed with the word salad, that's constant. What does the public think? The numbers are showing what the public thinks, right?

Yeah, absolutely. And to me it really does come back to what has she done in these, you know, two and a half years that she has been vice president? Well, first of all, like you pointed out, she wasn't great as Attorney General.

No.

She got hammered for that in the primaries. She performed pathetically in the Democratic primaries because voters didn't like her. And with Biden's age gonna be 82 at the time of the next election, I think maybe older than that.

Which is unheard of. You know, I went back and this is an article that appeared, I think in Politico, and they talk about how Eisenhower, it was a test for Eisenhower. And the fact is, when he was 66 years old moving into the White House, the big talk is, wow, he's too old. You know? And so now we got a guy who's 81, who's ready to tip over. The guy is tipping over all the time, but he's ready to tip over for good. And then you've got her and I gotta tell you, it's very smart what the Republicans are doing right now. They're running against her. They are saying, look, let's call it what it is. She's the next president if you go with Biden, that is your choice. And it's not helping the Democrats at all. What is it about this Democrat, about this whole Democratic structure, this nepotism where they can't bring in a fresh face and say, we're tired of the old, let's bring in the new? Why can't Democrats do it? Republicans are just as bad.
