Kamala Harris Names 3 Top Presidents, Leaving Biden Off Her List

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 3

Summary

  • At a National Urban League event on Friday, Kamala Harris ranked Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama as the three most effective U.S. presidents, omitting Joe Biden.
  • Harris said Roosevelt's Social Security-era activism, Kennedy's civil-rights groundwork later advanced by Lyndon Johnson, and Obama's Affordable Care Act drove her choices.
  • The omission stood out because Harris served as Biden's vice president and later wrote that his decision to seek a second term in 2024 was "recklessness."
  • At the same appearance, Harris also backed revisiting the Electoral College, expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices and considering Puerto Rico statehood, while saying she has not decided on a 2028 run.
