It’s no secret that practically every reporter in the White House press pool voted for Joe Biden, so it’s not so shocking to hear a Univision reporter tell Vice President Kamala Harris that she had the honor of voting for her in 2020.
Univision reporter prefaces her question to Vice President Harris by saying "for me, it's an honor because I actually got to vote for the first time as a nationalized citizen, and I voted for you."

Not sure I’ve ever seen a reporter tell a politician that she voted for her, as a Univision reporter just did during the Kamala Harris news conference before asking a question.

They don't need to speak the actual words. Everyone can see it in their "happy face" questions and fawning.

Journalism has continued its downward slide.

Not a shock they spent all 2020 trying to get them elected they might as well own up to it

Not sure anyone in the media needs to say this. We already know. They spent 4 years trying to elect them.

Damn sure didn't hear it for the prior four years

Might as well. There’s no illusion of being impartial anymore so why even pretend?

No longer a secret they're all groupies and propagandists. At least one reporter is honest about it.

This, following @brianstelter groveling at @PressSec Psaki's feet. Ugh.

between this and Stelter's leg-humping Psaki, the press has clowned themselves even more than I could have imagined.

You shouldn't have to say this to U.S. reporters but:
Don't preface your question with who you voted for.

What was her question? How the press could better cover the Biden-Harris administration?

Update:
Well, that was quick. A Univision anchor has tweeted, “The person who asked the question does not work for Univision.”
This is the co-lead anchor at Univision saying Maria Fernando — who somehow duped the @SecretService, @SymoneDSanders, and the rest of @VP Harris's comms team — doesn't work at the network. https://t.co/ITfzVXuzvM
