Kamala Harris pressed on youth dissatisfaction with Biden's performance
In the course of the interview, Bill Whitaker of CBS addressed concerns regarding the approval ratings of the Biden-Harris ticket.
He specifically highlighted the findings of a recent CBS poll, which revealed that fewer than 50% of young people believe President Biden is performing well, marking a 20% decline from the beginning of his term.
In response to this, Harris highlighted the importance of addressing issues that matter to young people, such as climate change and student loan debt.
She also suggested that a lack of media coverage may contribute to the perception problem, asserting, "The work we are doing is very popular with a lot of people."

Harris was questioned about why the Biden-Harris ticket was not enjoying a more significant lead in the polls, given former President Trump's legal challenges, including facing 91 criminal counts in multiple jurisdictions.
In her response, Harris refrained from making political predictions but expressed confidence in the choice the American people would make at election time, stating, "We're gonna win. And I'm not saying it's gonna be easy. But we will win. I have no doubt."
She also emphasized the need for hard work and active participation to achieve this victory.

In the midst of these reactions, another user thanked the source of amusement, saying, "Thanks. Always great to start a new week with a laugh."
