Current Events > What's up with VP Harris?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's cool there's at least no drama from her but she's so out of the spotlight.
What has she been up to? Campaigning? Pushing certain bills?

I mean this seriously. I'm not like trying to troll or say she's useless or something.

Feels like Michelle Obama as first lady made more news but she was quite an active lady.

She was pretty forward facing for the first quarter of Biden's presidency until the admin realized that she was a super unlikable person and any exposure to her will ruin her future presidential aspirations.

Shes doing what shes supposed to do.

Presiding over the Senate, and not getting in the way.

VPs are never in the spotlight

People dont like her so they dont want her talking.

Its not a personal attack, Dems dont like her because shes not a liberal and the right doesnt like her for the obvious reasons.

She's a useless figurehead until Joe ends up in a hospital or something.

VP's never really do anything. Biden was almost never in the news from 2008-2016 and Pence was only ever in the news when he'd say some weird religious thing.

But yeah with that being said, VP's are often sort of groomed to be the successor president. And it does kinda seem like the Democratic party recently isn't envisioning her as the future.

Ah. You all are saying what i kinda figured. Since she isn't loved, they're not quite pushing her.

Dark Brandon wanted a vp that was somehow even less memorable than he was before he became president.

He found the perfect person for the job.

(I forgot she even existed before this topic. Weird she hasn't done anything for the coming election)

Because almost every single time she does anything but those two things people hate the shit out of her.

Ironically, Teddie was coerced into being VP because his party was basically trying to get rid of him. He was uncontrollable as New York governor, and so people wanted him to be VP because it's a completely pointless position. But then obviously McKinley died and that backfired.

This. Sitting in meetings, the occasional overseas trip, like she just completed but otherwise that's all a VP's really supposed to do.

FOX, et al. have created this false narrative of her as a "do nothing" VP (kneecapping for any future run), but after Cheney's involvement in Dubya's administration, does the US really want an "activist" VP again?

My local conservative talk radio station plays new gaffes from her pretty regularly.

The less that woman says the better.

She has that Clinton charm. Hillary Clinton.

Whatever shes up to would be behind the scenes. Like another VP, Dick Cheney whos pretty controversial.

Biden was just as invisible when Obama was president
