Vice President Kamala Harris is facing pressure from progressive groups to actively support reparations for descendants of enslaved Africans, despite a significant portion of the American public opposing such measures. Harris has previously expressed her support for reparations, promising to sign a bill if elected president, but has remained silent on recent proposals in California. Amidst this, a recent Rasmussen survey indicates that many voters hold Harris accountable for the Biden administration's unpopular policies, with a substantial portion attributing blame to her. Additionally, establishment Democrats are concerned about Harris's ability to challenge former President Donald Trump, as polls show her trailing in key issues such as the economy. Pro-reparations activists warn that failure to advance these bills could negatively impact Harris's presidential campaign, emphasizing the need for immediate legislative action. California lawmakers have postponed the consideration of reparations bills, leading to backlash from activists who demand urgency in addressing racial injustices.
