Fox News host Jesse Watters said Tuesday that President Joe Biden may be considering removing Kamala Harris, who has been flagging in the polls, as vice president, saying his network has heard “whispers” that confirmation hearings are coming up in Congress.
“Our Capitol Hill Correspondent Chad Pergram tells us he’s been hearing whispers suggesting there could be some new high-profile confirmation hearings on the horizon in the House of Representatives,” Watters said on Fox. “Why is this a big deal? Because the house does not confirm normal nominees. But it does confirm vice-presidential nominees. Does this have something to do with Kamala Harris? It’s been no secret she’s been running out of favor with the Biden team.”
“There is a lot of conjecture right now about the future of Vice President Harris and her lagging poll numbers,” Pergram said. “So I got a message recently from someone who knows Capitol Hill very well and they suggested I should familiarize myself with the process to confirm a vacancy for the vice president in the Senate and in the House.”
