Vice President Kamala Harris denies people within the White House are trying to undermine her.
Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan asked Harris about gossip that she is being set up to fail. Harris responded: “No, I don’t believe I’m being set up to fail. I’m vice president of the United States. Anything that I handle is because it’s a tough issue, and it couldn’t be handled at some other level.”
A critic might suggest her statement means that what she has been assigned to do—most importantly, to fix the border problem—can’t be handled at the level of the president. That’s probably not what she meant, but how else to decode her statement?
A vice president is not independent of a president and must carry out his wishes. If the border isn’t being secured, if other projects assigned to her are failing (and what are they?), the buck stops with the president.
When asked her “biggest failure,” Harris said it has been not getting out of Washington enough. That’s easily fixed, since she has access to a government plane that can take her anywhere in the world.

Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan asked, "Was it wrong to consider inflation transitory? These price spikes seem like they’re going to be with us for a while."
Harris said: "We have to address the fact that we have got to deal with the fact that folks are paying for gas, paying for groceries, and… need solutions to it. So let's talk about that". Watch...

The barely coherent response and flubbed answer to a simple straightforward question comes, as Fox and others note, amid continued internal criticisms from her staff that she "repeatedly refuses to read briefing materials and prepare for meetings."
