needs the VP to govern, and every President picks a VP who will help him win. It's the nature of the job.

Just this Monday, she announced over $1.2 billion in U.S. investments in Central America, made in response to her call last spring for U.S. companies to help stimulate economic growth there as a way of helping to stem the tide of migration at its sources. Said one senior Mexican foreign ministry official, “Her result-oriented focus has made a big difference.”

Kamala’s Conundrum: She’s Doing a Great Job But Her Story’s Not Getting Out

Shoulda been done 20 years ago IMO. Just hope the corrupt politicians and gangs down there don't get their hands on that money.
