Senate Passes Bill to End Wasteful Penny Production, Fix Cash Transactions – Page 6

Rasmussen conducted the survey to gauge whether the former California senator’s influence is beneficial or detrimental to his prospects, and the results indicate that by a margin of 33 percent to 22 percent, voters perceive her impact as more negative than positive. Importantly, and potentially more damaging to her image, 41 percent of respondents expressed the view that Harris had no discernible impact whatsoever.

Earlier this week, George Skelton, a longtime political columnist for the Los Angeles Times, wrote that Biden should replace Harris now so she can return to California and take lame-duck Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s seat.

“Biden’s problem is Harris. She’s a burden — a drag on his reelection prospects,” he wrote.

“A reader emailed me with the remedy: Feinstein could resign from the Senate and Gov. Gavin Newsom could appoint Harris to replace her. Biden then could find a more popular running mate, one more acceptable to voters as a potential successor,” Skelton added.

It’s not the first time the suggestion has been made.

John Zogby, a Democratic pollster who likes Biden for some reason, said the same thing in a recent podcast, according to the Examiner.

But Biden appears to have no plans to replace her. In fact, recently, in a memo he wrote — or that someone wrote for him — he said that picking Harris as his running mate “was one of the best decisions I made” and that she remains “the perfect choice.”

A shift in roles could potentially alter the way voters perceive Harris. Rasmussen’s data indicates that her favorability ratings are underwater: According to the recent survey, 42 percent hold a favorable opinion of the vice president, whereas 53 percent view her unfavorably.

Rasmussen discussed the bottom line regarding Harris: “Most voters continue to have a low opinion of Vice President Kamala Harris, and don’t see her as a helpful running mate for President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign.”

WASHINGTON — Cameron Hamilton, the acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has been removed from his position after publicly defending FEMA during congressional testimony and expressing opposition to proposals that would significantly reduce or eliminate the federal disaster-response agency.

Hamilton’s dismissal comes as the Trump administration considers major changes to the federal government’s role in emergency management. The administration has argued that states should assume greater responsibility for preparing for and responding to disasters, potentially reducing FEMA’s role and limiting federal involvement.

During testimony before Congress, Hamilton emphasized the importance of FEMA’s ability to coordinate national disaster responses and provide assistance when emergencies overwhelm state and local resources. His comments reportedly conflicted with the administration’s broader effort to restructure the agency.

The leadership change underscores the political tensions surrounding FEMA’s future and highlights the administration’s determination to advance its proposed reforms.
