Vice President Kamala Harris said she and President Joe Biden‘s approval ratings would increase if they took more credit for their administration‘s accomplishments.

“I think what the American people want most in their leaders is that we actually get things done,” Harris said in an interview with Katie Couric on Next Question. “And we have done it. We haven’t taken adequate credit for it, frankly.”

Biden holds a 38% approval rating and Harris has a 37% approval rating, historic lows for a president and a vice president. However, Harris dismissed the value of popularity ratings.

“Well, first of all, if I listened to polls, I would have never run for my first office, or probably my second or third for that matter,” Harris said. “So, I only put so much stock in polls.

“We have to earn the reelect,” she added. “That is, without any question, the right place to be in a democracy. You got to earn the reelect.”

The vice president admitted that the Biden-Harris campaign needs to do a better job of getting the word out about the accomplishments of their administration, such as the CHIPS Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, low unemployment rates, student debt relief, capping insulin, and an increase in the stock market.

Couric also raised concerns to Harris about Biden’s slip in approval among young voters, noting that he won young people in 2020 by 20 percentage points but now is tied with former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee.

Harris said part of the plan to woo young voters back to Biden’s campaign is to “get the heck out of D.C.”

“In fact, after the Dobbs decision came down, I decided to get on the road ahead of the midterms, and going to purple, red, and blue states in almost equal measure, talking to folks and listening to folks,” Harris said, touting her “Fight for our Freedoms” college tour.

Harris said she thinks Generation Z voters are a “terrific generation.”

“It’s a lived experience for them,” Harris said. “They’ve only known the climate crisis. Most of them have endured active shooter drills between Kindergarten and 12th grade. During the height of their reproductive years, they saw the court take away an essential right for them. And so traveling the country makes a difference to one, listen, but to remind people that they are being seen and that what they do matters, including that they vote.”
