    Kamala has notoriously been one of the most invisible VPs in recent memory. I actually think that could work in her favor. What in her record from the last 4 years is even attackable? She can campaign on all of Biden’s wins as his VP, but all of her negatives are from before she was VP and are well known by now. She won’t lose voters over those things at this point.

      Her bad stints as VP are mostly thing Democrats might complain about but pretty much knew were impossible. She got saddled with voting rights and the border, but without any power to even try to do anything. It was just to keep Biden away from the no-win issues.

        She could say, they got a bipartisan bill across the finish line and Trump killed it because he wanted to run on it. There’s her border counter.

      I agree. Biden had downward momentum. Harris does not. Him leaving the race disrupts what Republicans were doing.

      There was this thing where Biden put her in charge of some border stuff, she flew to South America to tell people not to come. I’m sure they’ll attack her using that, but nobody really cares.

        But…unlike Biden, she would have the presence of mind to remind people that there was a border solution, negotiated by James Lankford of Oklahoma, who’s as hard right as they come, THAT TRUMP CAUSED TO BE KILLED BEFORE IT GOT TO THE HOUSE!

        It’s literally Trumps fault that the border isn’t secured right now. That bill had everything needed and was a literal wish list for Republicans on border security!

        They killed it so they would have something to hammer on about. Fucking shameless fucks.
