President Biden and VP Harris will occupy the all important bully pulpit. I expect them, from day

one on, to use it.

Especially in Prime Time speeches.
Especially to inform the American people of GOP hijinks. Like refusing to confirm Cabinet, judges, etc.

Maybe we get ready to storm McConnell’s residence/office demanding he stop obstructing.

If the Senate doesn’t go Democratic, Biden will give McConnell one chance to vote on something reasonable. If McConnell balks or stonewalls, all bets are off. Use every maneuver available to render Senate inconsequential. I’m all for bipartisanship to break gridlock, but it will be clear the Republicans won’t give an inch. The frog and the scorpion!

A glass ceiling is on the cusp of being shattered. And shattered by someone who is amazing.

When Biden became the nominee, I wanted him to choose Harris as VP. And he did!

Harris to be VP because I expect her to be Pres after Biden leaves office 4 years from now. Should all this pan out in our favor I hope Biden stays healthy for his 4-year term because if Harris has to take over anytime in the next 4 years it will prevent her from having an 8-year presidential term under the Constitution, and that would suck.

I wonder how much Kamala's race and gender have to do with the R (racist) voter turn out????? I read that more women have voted for trump this election that did the last time.
