Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has voiced concerns over Vice President Kamala Harris’ approach to campaigning, suggesting that her efforts lack strategic focus at a critical time for the Democratic Party. Psaki’s comments come as Harris has been increasingly active in political engagements, including recent support for former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney.
Psaki, now a political analyst, pointed out that Harris’ involvement in Cheney’s efforts to oppose far-right influence within the GOP could be diverting attention from more pressing Democratic priorities. Some party strategists argue that the vice president should be concentrating on solidifying Democratic voter bases rather than aligning with a Republican figure, even one known for standing against former President Donald Trump.
Harris’ recent public appearances have drawn mixed reactions, with some Democrats applauding her bipartisan outreach, while others question whether her efforts are effectively energizing core Democratic supporters.
The Biden administration has faced internal discussions about Harris’ role heading into the 2026 midterms and beyond. While she remains a key figure in the party, concerns persist about whether her messaging and campaign strategy will resonate with voters amid shifting political dynamics.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Harris’ approach is expected to be a topic of debate within Democratic circles, with party leaders weighing the best path forward for future elections.
