VPOTUS is notorious as a figurehead position, in some administrations more than others. I HOPE this admin uses VP Harris to best advantage, because this is a singular moment in modern history.

With a 50-50 split in the Senate, she will be the most transformative VP in history due to her tie-breaking vote.

Good catch. This makes it an even more singular moment in history. When has a VP been needed, at least potentially, as badly and as often as Ms. Harris is likely to be.

However, Kamala has a good setup to become the most powerful.

The link takes you to the image of Kamala. Hope you can see it.

Don’t ever tell me representation is meaningless.

Coming face-to-face with the most powerful woman in the world, and she looks like you?

Priceless.
