Where have you been the last 3 years Kamala? It seems to me that you are in a unique position to advocate for reforms that could prevent this profound threat from becoming more materially dangerous and yet this is like the 4th time I've heard your name since 2020.
You just made me realize this. I NEVER hear anything, at most I'll see her in back of Biden videos smirking or whatever.
What does she do?
She's primarily a representative of the executive branch in the absence of the president, advisor to the president, and president of the Senate. She has very little power outside of this speech to do anything about the issues she's talking about.
It's not about power she's just a ghost. Biden was all over the place when Obama was President and you definitely heard more about what Mike Pence was up to than Kamala Harris, and I got the impression that Pence was trying his best to fly under the radar most of the time. It's to the point that I wonder if she's even around.
Honestly though, what can vice presidents do?
Get enough name recognition and cred in their position to go up the ranks in their party, so they could run for president
Not much, especially in matters like this.
