The Democratic National Committee (DNC) slashed their price for a photo with Vice President Kamala Harris at a women’s forum amid the veep’s cratering approval rating.
Harris was slated to appear at the DNC’s Women’s Leadership Forum this year as a headliner with a reported $15,000 price tag for a photo with the vice president.
The event ended up not selling enough tickets and was postponed along with the five-figure price tag for donors to have their picture taken with a sitting public servant.
However, those who want a picture with Harris and have $5,000 to burn, amid soaring inflation and rising gas prices, have another shot at getting their picture taken with Harris after the DNC reportedly slashed the price ahead of Harris’ June fundraiser in her home state of California, according to Puck News.
DNC deputy communications director Daniel Wessel told Fox News Digital that the leading Democratic body works with their "hosts and fundraisers to set specific ticket prices for each event."
"As has always been the case, there are a variety of ticket levels for every event as is pretty standard for finance events," Wessel said. "We’ve raised record amounts of money with help from both Vice President Harris and President Biden, so we’re going to continue to do what clearly works well for the party and our donors."
Conversely, Will O'Grady, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee (RNC), told Fox News Digital that if "Democrats focused on fighting skyrocketing costs facing Americans like they do cutting prices on a photo with Kamala Harris, inflation wouldn't be a problem."
Additionally, RNC deputy national press secretary Nicole Morales tweeted that "Americans may not be able to afford gas or groceries anymore, but at least taking a picture with Kamala is on clearance!"
The clearance price on a photo with Harris comes as she faces an abysmal 39 percent approval rating, three points lower than her boss’ approval rating.
Harris has faced political fires since her rocky start in the West Wing — fires that have seen her alienated from the rest of the White House as President Joe Biden tries to convince voters to support Democrats over Republicans ahead of a GOP-favored primary.
5 REASONS WHY KAMALA HARRIS’ PRESIDENTIAL DREAMS PROBABLY WON’T COME TRUE
Harris’ tumultuous start to her term has been racked with controversies and relative inaction on issues she has been placed in charge of, such as with the southern border that is still in crisis.
Additionally, Harris’ habit of laughing when addressing critical issues, such as the border, appears to have alienated her with voters who take these issues seriously.

Still, media pundits have been quick to jump to Harris' defense, with MSNBC's Joy Reid claiming Harris has been treated unfairly by the "white" and "male" media.
