That was my question, though. What is he doing? He's not having any public events over the next two weeks - at a time when he really should be having public events.

Maybe. Bear in mind that Trump has to reorient his campaign machinery to attack Harris now.

Not really. As we've discussed before, the Vice President isn't in charge of every agency of the government. And even though as a political matter the Veep can get tagged with everything the Administration is doing, when the Veep starts running as their own candidate they're going to be formulating policies and making choices that might differ from the Administration. When they're the Veep, the President picks the policy - as a nominee, they get to pick their own policy.

Both you and Goofy are doing two things:
1. This is a version of the Obama Effect: When anything bad happened in his administration, he was merely a bystander. Zero accountability.
2. You both are forgetting the ego part of this *and* what the Biden/Harris regime has been saying for the last 4 years.

First, they've been telling everyone what an awesome job they're doing. The border? Secure! The economy? Best we've ever had, Jack! Foreign affairs? America is back, baby!

You both are saying Harris...isn't responsible for any of that. Okay, sure. So she's going to run away from all the "Successes" of the Biden admin? After Biden made her The Border Czar and claims she's been with him for every. single. decision.?

You guys are now saying, "Nope. That wasn't Kamala!"

Can't have it both ways. And your point about "the veep isn't in charge..." is irrelevant. She's the public face of this administration now that the people that I told you who really run the democrat party have told YOU whom you will vote for.

So she owns it. All of it. And BTW she's already on an AWESOME video saying "That's BIDENONOMICS, folks! Ha Ha Ha!" That little segment immediately spawned dozens of internet memes and will be featured in every. Single. Ad. On. Inflation.

Can't wait :)
