MSNBC star Al Sharpton faced backlash Wednesday for urging President Biden to use Vice President Kamala Harris "more effectively," saying in an interview that he thinks the president should widen the scope of her responsibilities and offer her "more positions of power."

Sharpton, in an interview with "The Root," detailed a plan to meet with the president to discuss Harris' "assignments."

"We want her to have a strong position, not marginal positions," Sharpton said. "I think that he did the right thing giving her voting, but I think he should continue to give her more positions of power."
