    The job of the VP is to be invisible. They are an understudy who steps in when the main event has a colonoscopy for a few hours, and the rest of the time just wait for the President to keel over. The job was so lame that the Founders had to give them the extra job of breaking up fights in the Senate just to give them something to do.

    Harris could never have been this visible while Biden was leading the ticket, otherwise people would have wondered why she’s not leading it.
