Fox News Politics Newsletter: Vice President Kamala Harris Under Fire, Biden Avoids Public, and Cori Bush Loses Democratic Primary

Republican Senator Rick Scott releases a scathing ad targeting Vice President Kamala Harris, while President Biden remains secluded at the White House with no public events on his schedule. In the Democratic primary for Missouri's First Congressional District, Squad member Cori Bush concedes defeat.

Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has launched a seven-figure TV ad criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for her role in ongoing issues facing the United States, including inflation, the border crisis, and "death to America" protests.

The ad, titled "She Did That," features footage of Harris' congratulatory call to President Biden in November 2020, where she stated, "We did it, Joe. You're going to be the next President of the United States."

Scott's ad argues that Harris is responsible for these problems because she has not been actively involved in addressing them. "The Biden-Harris administration has failed America," the ad states. "They have ignored the border crisis, allowed inflation to soar, and stood by as anti-American protests have spread."

The ad is part of a larger campaign by Republicans to blame Harris for the Biden administration's perceived failures. Harris has been a frequent target of criticism from Republicans, who have accused her of being unqualified for the vice presidency and ineffective in her role.

The White House has defended Harris, saying that she is a valuable member of the administration and that she is working hard to address the country's challenges. However, her approval ratings have remained low throughout her tenure.

President Biden has once again cleared his public schedule, avoiding any events where he might face questions from reporters or the public. The president has been increasingly criticized for his seclusion, which some critics say is a sign of his declining mental and physical health.

Biden has not held a press conference since January and has rarely given interviews in recent months. His public appearances have been limited to carefully controlled events, such as the State of the Union address and the NATO summit.

The White House has defended Biden's schedule, saying that he is working hard behind the scenes to address the country's challenges. However, his absence from public view has fueled speculation that he is unable to handle the demands of the presidency.

Cori Bush, a member of the Squad, has conceded defeat in the Democratic primary for Missouri's First Congressional District. Bush lost to Emmanuel Cleaver II, a longtime congressman and former mayor of Kansas City.

Bush was a rising star in the Democratic Party and had the support of progressive groups. She campaigned on a platform of "Medicare for All," a Green New Deal, and defunding the police.

However, Cleaver proved to be a formidable opponent. He ran a campaign that focused on his experience and his record of delivering for his constituents. Cleaver also had the support of the Democratic establishment.

Bush's defeat is a setback for the progressive movement within the Democratic Party. It also raises questions about the future of the Squad, which has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration.
