"Given that they’ve worked so closely together in that time, what does the president see as the vice president’s biggest achievement during their time in office together?" one reporter asked.

When asked during Monday’s White House press conference what Joe Biden sees as Kamala Harris’ accomplishments while serving as vice president, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre could not name a specific policy achievement.

"Given that they’ve worked so closely together in that time, what does the president see as the vice president’s biggest achievement during their time in office together?" one reporter asked.



"So, look, because they’ve been partners, those achievements have been done — certainly, those historic, unprecedented achievements have been done together," she began. "I’ll say this, the president believes in the vice president's leadership, her temperament, her experience. And he is — and he has said this himself: One of the proudest decisions that he made in 2020 was selecting her as vice president because he believed that she can go on day one. And you’ve seen that — you’ve seen them do that together on day one of this administration. That doesn’t change."

Joe Biden dropped out of the race in late July with Kamala Harris taking his place in the race, despite no voters casting their ballots in the primary for her. As of Tuesday, over three weeks after she took Biden’s place, her campaign website still does not have any policy goals listed for a possible Harris term in the White House.

Jean-Pierre continued, "I’m not going to parse out anything from here. They have been partners. She’s been a critical partner for this president, for — for — during this term and will continue to do so. You will see them together on Thursday in Maryland where they will talk about their next announcement on lowering costs for the American people."

"So, there’s not a specific policy achievement? It’s a comprehensive whole," the reporter pressed.

Jean-Pierre responded, "I would say it’s a comprehensive whole. Her — our accomplishments here, the Biden-Harris accomplishments are the Biden-Harris accomplishments. She’s played a role, whether it is being on the floor of the Senate, right, getting really important legislations to come – to pass through, right? Or being in the room with the president on trying to figure out how to move forward strategically with a policy or how to make tough decisions on behalf of the American people. She’s been there. She has been there."

Jean-Pierre added that Harris has been a "critical partner," saying that there have been "historic" moments throughout Biden’s term in the White House.

Harris has come under fire for her position as "border czar" under Biden administration, which has seen record numbers of illegal immigrants since Biden was put into office in 2021. After Harris became the presumptive Democratic Party candidate, Axios claimed that Harris was never the border czar for the administration. Instead of addressing concerns at the southern border, Harris instead visited Guatemala in an attempt to address the "root cause" of illegal immigration. In an August rally, Harris said, "We know our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it."

Harris has also come under fire for copying Trump's No Tax on Tips policy, announcing she would work to "eliminate taxes on tips for hospitality and service utility workers" if elected in an August rally. Trump had announced that plan months prior.
