Harris has done so little I had to think for a second to remember what her name was. Other VP have really gotten coverage, like Pence or Gore. But Harris has really stayed mostly on the sidelines.
I’m not in the US, so I might not always be aware of every political thing happening… but Harris feels completely invisible to me.
Biden was very visible as VP, and I actually have memories of Cheney, Gore, even Pence had some notable things.
Gun to my head, I couldn’t tell you one notable or controversial thing Harris did. So I’m reallllllly hoping US voters have a more positive mental picture in regards to her VP tenure. Being ‘not Biden’ only gets you so far…
Nothing from being VP… But before she was VP she was the worst kind of cop… So not a lot of love there from the left, and of course the right hates her just because… Technically she was the first woman to ever hold the power of the presidency though… For like an hour when Joe had a colonoscopy or something.
When you say cop… i see she worked as District Attorney, and the Wikipedia doesn’t really list anything that seems wildly objectionable? Of course, some will hate everything even remotely cop-adjacent…
Cheney was an outlier as he basically ran things from the VP office. Dude claimed (successfully I believe) that the office of the Vice President is a separate branch of government that was independent of the other three. And somehow it allowed him to do whatever he wanted? Shit was weird.

I bet that was strategic, to be honest. VPs are designed to mostly stay out of the limelight.
