Vice President Kamala Harris says that America’s global standing is on the verge of slipping if Congress fails to pass voting rights legislation. During an interview, Vice President Harris emphasized the issue of voting rights which she was instructed to spearhead over the summer.

Like much of Harris’s assigned duties she has done little to accomplish her goals and move her agenda forward.

Fox News reports:

“In the days and weeks ahead, I will engage the American people, and I will work with voting rights organizations, community organizations, and the private sector to help strengthen and uplift efforts on voting rights nationwide. And we will also work with members of Congress to help advance these bills,” the vice president said in June, claiming that voting rights were “under assault.”

In her latest comments on her voting rights mission, she warned Americans that if Congress doesn’t get it together on the bill, the country will be kicked down off its pedestal.

“We have been a role model saying, ‘You can see this and aspire to this and reject autocracies and autocratic leadership,'” Harris said in a pre-recorded interview with Brennan, which aired on Sunday. “Right now, we’re about to take ourselves off the map as a role model if we let people destroy one of the most important pillars of a democracy, which is free and fair elections.”

Harris added that while most Americans likely don’t see voting rights as an “urgent” matter, the more the administration spotlights it, the more people will realize that some are “suppressing the right of the American people to vote,” she predicted.

The interview comes as some have speculated if Harris was “set up to fail” by being given an array of difficult policy areas. Harris has been harshly criticized for making little headway to address the border crisis.
