106 House Republicans attempted to strip funding from Vice President Kamala Harris’ office due to her perceived incompetence, particularly in handling border security.
The amendment did not pass, but it reflects a change in attitudes in Congress.

While these actions faced criticism and little chance of implementation, they represent efforts to hold government officials accountable.
Rep. Collins posted, “I’m sure you’ll be shocked, but I just had to debate a Republican on the House floor who was defending funding the Office of the Vice President.”
“I argued Kamala Harris sucks at securing our border and, therefore, shouldn’t be paid,” he continued.
Adding, “If my amendment passes, her office will be defunded.”
According to Insider, Rep. Collins’ amendment stated, ““None of the funds made available by this Act may be used for the salary or expenses of any officer or employee of the Office of the Vice President.”
The Republicans behind the amendments are seen as representing the will of their constituents, reflecting dissatisfaction with Harris and the Biden administration.
