KAMI, KAMI, NOT SO FAST, KAMI. YOU JUST GOT THERE – AT 10:54 P.M. ET: Look, I mean, really, we knew that Joe Biden was just a cutout run by the Dem establishment because they needed a guy who could get elected and hold the Oval Office for someone more woke.
And we knew that Kami, who went nowhere in her own run for the White House, was hot for the job and would slide behind the desk as soon as Joe developed a cough.
But, appearances, Kami, appearances. Did you have to push in this fast? From Fox:
Vice President Kamala Harris is proving that she will play an important role in the White House as she hosts calls with foreign leaders without President Biden.
A readout from the White House published on Monday showed that Harris took a call with French President Emannuel Macron, where she "expressed her commitment to strengthening bilateral ties."
"Vice President Harris and President Macron agreed on the need for close bilateral and multilateral cooperation to address COVID-19, climate change, and support democracy at home and around the world," the statement read. "They also discussed numerous regional challenges, including those in theMiddle East and Africa, and the need to confront them together."
The president himself did put a call into Macron last month, on Jan. 24.
Though Biden knows many of the world leaders he will be dealing with from his tenure as vice president in the Obama administration, he likely has not dealt extensively with Macron since he was elected in 2017.
A spokesperson for the White House did not return Fox News’ request for comment.
As noted by the Council on Foreign Relations, the vice president’s role in foreign policy has grown since the mid-20th century. Dick Cheney is credited for shaping President George W. Bush’s foreign policy priorities and Biden managed relations under President Barack Obama with several key countries.
However, conservatives have repeated concerns about Biden’s ability to carry out his four years in office as the oldest president ever elected at the age of 78.
COMMENT: Oh please. It is such baloney. Calls like that are always made by the president, never the vice president. It's considered insulting for a vice president to take the place of the president in calling a foreign head of state. I wonder what the French government thinks about this. The president was off playing a video game with his grandchild. I guess the game featured an international crisis.
Look for Kamala to be rushing into the Oval Office each morning to take Biden's temperature. She just can't wait.
