"Well, there are polls that also say I have great approval ratings," Harris told ABC in an interview that aired Monday. "I think the point that has to be made is that there are attempts to create distractions away from the accomplishments of our administration."

Harris did not point to a specific poll, though no recent surveys show her higher than 44%.

The vice president similarly downplayed concerns about Biden's reelection campaign, from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Democratic primary challenge to third-party bids from the Green Party's Cornel West and possibly No Labels.

"Our focus has been on strengthening America and doing the work every day that is about seeing through what we are doing to bring down the cost of healthcare, what we are fighting for in terms of strengthening the economy and America's families," she said.

"I don't really have much to say about, again, the kind of the — the cinema and the grand gestures that are political games," she said.
