Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday called on Democrat party leadership to remind voters of everything that President Joe Biden’s administration has accomplished.
Harris, during a speech at the winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said she believes Democrats can “meet the moment again” as the nation gears up for a combative midterm election season.
However, protecting Democratic majorities in the U.S. House and Senate “is not going to be easy” as the party faces a challenge in communicating the accomplishments of the Biden administration to voters, she said.
“Our task is to show people that, in many ways, they got what they ordered,” Harris said. ‘”They said this is what they wanted. They stood in line, they took time from work. It was difficult. And a lot of what they demanded, they got. And so let’s get out there, as we do, and remind them of that.”
In her speech, Harris cited accomplishments including the COVID-19 recovery, a $1.2 trillion infrastructure investment bill and shrinking unemployment rates. She also pointed to the recent nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who if confirmed would be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
“We are, as Democrats, continuing to own the responsibility that comes with being a role model, which is, as a democracy, to take care of its people – to see them, to hear them, and to be reflective of their priorities and their needs,” Harris said.
“So, DNC, we will keep working the phones, and we will keep registering the voters, and we will keep getting the souls to the polls.”
Harris delivered her remarks two days after Biden delivered his own address to the DNC, which gathered in person in Washington, D.C., for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
In his Thursday speech, Biden said he was optimistic about the party’s prospects in the midterms, despite predictions that Democrats will struggle to hang onto their slim majorities in the House and the Senate in November.
But Biden’s approval rating has ticked upward recently — according to a March 8 poll conducted by POLITICO and Morning Consult, 45% of Americans now approve of his performance, up 4% compared to the week prior. Pollsters link the so-called “Biden Bounce” to his response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and to his State of the Union speech.
“We are in the strongest position we’ve been in in months. We have a record – a record to be proud of, an agenda that addresses the biggest concerns here in America, in people’s lives. The message that resonates,” Biden told the DNC. “Now what we have to do is we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction, and repetition.”
Across the aisle, Republicans are seeking to place the blame for soaring cost-of-living increases squarely on Biden’s shoulders. Countering inflation, which has hit a 40-year high of 7.9 percent, is a key campaign message for Republicans looking to unseat Democratic incumbents in Congress.
“Elections come down to kitchen-table issues,” Matt Gorman, a GOP strategist and former communications director of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told The Hill this week.

What accomplishments?? Like taking the USA from energy independence and cheap gas to total shortages and inflated crippling economic price increases? From taking our peaceful Capital City of tourist attractions and turning it into an armed camp with National Guardsmen sleeping in Parking garages underground like Ukrainian refugees? Like economically empowering Russians, Iranians, with trillions in oil revenues to buy weapons to kill innocent civilians overseas, soon to be joined by American military personnel? Like locking down American workers in fake COVID masked pronouncement of social deception bent on manipulating and stealing the next election.
The very minute we take over the House we should complete a 2 week impeachment of BOTH Joe and Kamala and replace them with the Republican Speaker of the House and best fighting General in the country as Veep.
Anyone who would try to sell their long list of governing failures to an American public with confidence, conviction and repetition, should be declared enemy confidence men worthy of repetitive judicial convictions and jail time.
His accomplishments
Making our border WIDE THE HELL OPEN
Killing our energy industry
COVID!
Mandates
Russia invasion of Ukraine.
China’s soon to be invasion and take over of Taiwan..
MASSIVE inflation
HOW many of them, are POSITIVE for we americans?!
“Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday called on Democrat party leadership to remind voters of everything that President Joe Biden’s administration has accomplished.”
I commented on an article about her one day last week and I said she should resign and get a job with BET. She would be the biggest joke of all. What bragging rights does this woman think that either of them have?? The only things Biden has “accomplished” are all negative—the biggest of which is the stolen election in November of 2020 and he didn’t do that on his own.
“Our task is to show people that, in many ways, they got what they ordered,” Harris said. ‘”They said this is what they wanted. They stood in line, they took time from work. It was difficult. And a lot of what they demanded, they got. And so let’s get out there, as we do, and remind them of that.”
Only on the Democrat side, Kamala. Nobody else in their right mind wanted what we are having to deal with right now. You, Biden, and the entire administration are mammoth failures. This country is seriously crippled by the insane actions of this administration and you want to stage a pep rally.
They certainly got what they voted for.. UNFORTUNATELY WE ALL SUFFER because of it.
The less said on that subject the better!
joe23006:
No, No, the treasonous puppet Moe Biden and his socialist Democrat Party’s treasonous, deliberately destructive and damaging policies and agendas need to be brought to EVERYONE attention over ands over.
This treasonous, dishonest, destructive, corrupt, immoral, socialist Democrat Party has become our country’s most destructive and deadliest ENEMY!
37% of Democrats believe that the complete idiot in office, that abject failure, dunce Biden, is doing a good job. These low IQ Democrats are saying, ‘yeah, we want more of that!’ Good Lord, Democrats, for the love of humanity, WAKE UP!
IF they have not ‘woken up’, TO THE DISASTER That is Biden, unfortunately i CANNOT SEE ANYTHING waking them up..
Harris is a Worthless Pile of Gutter TRASH has done nothing her whole LIFE. Unless it was on her Back with HEELS in the Air Or on her Knee Pad’s.
Remind everyone that voters were shafted and undermined in the “Steal of the Century”…you know, that taboo topic about the 2020 election while it is okay for JP to state theft on the 2016 election. Remind everyone that the truth is coming out and the majority of voters did not get what they wanted.
I completely agree with Kamala Harris that it is extremely important the DNC remind voters of the Biden-Harris Administration’s accomplishments. Those accomplishments include seriously damaging our national sovereignty by allowing unlimited, illegal immigration across our southern border, enabling the Mexican drug cartels’ highly profitable human sex trafficking and deadly drug smuggling operations, humiliating America on the world stage and emboldening our enemies with its precipitous and chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, abruptly ending America’s energy independence by declaring war on fossil fuel on its first day in office, failing to address the worst inflation we have had in 40 years, and ignoring the serious rise in crime that is the result of the Democrat party’s defund the police campaign. However, we can expect the dishonest Biden-Harris Administration to blame its many failures on Putin, Trump, congressional Republicans, racists, greedy business executives, or domestic terrorists. The administration has demonstrated that its greatest strength is its ability to blame others for its failures.
DEMS have always been great, about blaming EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING else, for their failures.. ANd unfortunately all too often, THEY GET AWAY with it.
The world’s thinnest book- Great accomplishments of the Biden Presidency.
Ha! That’s rich. Remind voters of Biden’s accomplishments? ! That’s so ridiculous it’s almost funny. This president is a clueless actor requiring geriatric care.
“…the party faces a challenge in communicating the accomplishments of the Biden administration to voters, she said.”
Translation: Lie
“Now what we have to do is we have to sell it with confidence, clarity, conviction, and repetition.”
Translation: Lie and keep lying until people believe the lies.
Joe Biden has many accomplishments, unfortunately they are ALL BAD for the citizens of the United States of America! Joe has always done the wrong thing for the citizens of the United States of America, all while lining his pockets with HUGE amounts of cash. Actually all the Bidens reap the rewards of corrupt Joe. IMHO. If any democrat can prove that to be incorrect, please enlighten me. Joe is a disgusting moron, who has not only f’ed up the USA but the entire World!
AND everyone who voted for biden (OR against trump) SHARES the blame for that!
That should about 1/10 of one second.
That had to make the Guinness book record for histories shortest phone call.
Please list the great accomplishments this lame-a$$ President and VP have done….I’m waiting!
