01/15/2022 10:51 AM ESTMore than six months ago, Vice President Kamala Harris embraced a new mission: to lead the administration’s push for federal voting rights legislation.
Harris’ aides and advisers say she’s unbowed by the setback. They view her more aggressive posture and increasingly public persona as an implicit sign that she’s solidified her standing in the White House. Allies argue she's finally getting a chance to succeed after prior misuse. The expectation going forward is that Harris and the administration will keep pushing for legislative progress in addition to meeting with key stakeholders. A White House official said Harris’ team is formulating plans on what next steps look like and that both public and private engagements for Harris are being discussed.
“I have been very clear about making the distinction. I don't have anything negative to say about VP Harris, I think this has to fall on Biden's lap, he's the president. All my conversations with her: I think she's been very clear [that] she saw this as a core and important issue,” said LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, who, despite being based in Atlanta, chose not to attend the Biden-Harris speech there earlier this week.
