VP Harris has a REAL JOB and no time to jump through your hoops.

Yes she has to campaign, but at the same time she has to help the president to clean up the mess you made when you were in office. Her calendar is already full. You can go to the already scheduled debate, or keep whining. Either way, she doesn’t much care.

She should say, “ I still have a job to do and a campaign to run and I’ve planned everything out.” I don’t have time to negotiate with him and his weird demands

in the senate. It has always been, with a few exceptions, a no-show job.

to insure the release of the American hostages, after being involved in the negotiations. Biden pointedly thanked her for her part.

Also she has worked tirelessly to keep women’s reproductive rights in the foreground.

I have to disagree with your assessment. Perhaps Pence spent his time on a golf course or gazing lovingly at Rump’s face, but the first female vice president of the United States doesn’t get a do-nothing card.

I think you have tragically outdated information.

Kamala Harris Played Role In Prisoner Swap

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States

The role of the vice presidency has changed dramatically since the office was created during the 1787 Constitutional Convention.

The modern vice presidency is a position of significant power and is widely seen as an integral part of a president's administration. While the exact nature of the role varies in each administration, since the president does not truly possess authority over the vice president, most modern vice presidents serve as a key presidential advisor, governing partner, and representative of the president. The vice president is also a statutory member of the United States Cabinet and United States National Security Council[10] and thus plays a significant role in executive government and national security matters. As the vice president's role within the executive branch has expanded, the legislative branch role has contracted; for example, vice presidents now preside over the Senate only infrequently.[11]
