Former Democratic Senator Gloria Romero blasted Vice President Kamala Harris for using President Joe Biden as a “meal ticket” to a potential presidency.
During an interview on Monday’s “Fox & Friends First,” Romero shared her disappointment over the Biden-Harris administration.

“Let’s face it, Joe Biden is Kamala Harris’s meal ticket to potentially the presidency,” Romero told co-host Todd Piro. “She needs to go ahead and to keep putting out there for the public and especially potential other opponents that Joe Biden is running because the longer that people can believe that myth, the greater the opportunity is that no other contender like Newsom or Buttigieg change or even Hillary Clinton might step into the fray.”
This comes after Harris told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that she would “proudly” run with Biden in 2024 if he seeks re-election.
“The president has been very clear that he intends to run again,” Harris told host Chuck Todd. “And if he does, I will be running with him proudly.”
Biden, who at 79 became the oldest individual ever elected to serve as president, is planning to run again in 2024, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre last June.
The vice president also mentioned Americans “demand justice” on Trump despite looming questions surrounding the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago last month.
“I think many of us, probably most of us, are appalled, whatever we think of Donald Trump, of what happened to the president, the former president of the United States, so I am disenchanted with that,” she said. “And I think that’s potentially going to always be the case in our country that people are going to demand justice and they rightly do.”
In response to Harris’ remarks, Romero said that the vice president’s comments are a political ploy to distract from the Biden administration’s various crises.
“Once again, it’s politi-speak,” Romero said. “It’s a way to try to reshape and to try to encourage the electorate to not look at inflation, to not look at the supply chain, to not look at the crisis of a very unsecured border, and to try to focus on these so-called divisive issues such as an activist court. It is a disappointment.”
