Love VP Harris, but Angela Merkel probably has more power at the moment. tblue37 Mar 2021 #3

I agree, but it's the symbolism. BobTheSubgenius Mar 2021 #4

You are correct in the "figurehead" view, however... AZ8theist Mar 2021 #6

Yup! And Biden knows how to use a VP, not just let them sit around. lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #15

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.

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.
