Kamala Harris's competence has been thrown into question as America First Policy Institute senior fellow Steve Yates has pointed out that now is "not the time for on-the-job training".
The Vice President is most likely going to be the next Democrat leader after Joe Biden offered his "full support" to Harris shortly after announcing his decision not to run for a second term as US President.

The senator added that he feels that the chaos in US politics could have disastrous consequences.
