Which is scarier: that they will somehow prop him up long enough to get through 2024, or that that they can't, and Kampallawalla is placed in charge of the country?
/The Biden administration keeps trying to give Vice President Kamala Harris something to do, but she keeps balking at the opportunity. She complains about being "sidelined" by the White House and complains when they give her a job she doesn't want to do, such as handling the border crisis. It's as if the only thing she is really passionate about is using the power of her office to destroy the careers of her political rivals
Harris was not enthusiastic about being tapped to lead the administration's response to the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The Washington Post reportedThursday that the vice president "had initial reservations about becoming the face of the administration's response, worried she could be pigeonholed on the issue because of her gender, according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose a sensitive dynamic."

Martin and Burns report that after holding a series of initial meetings with activists, Harris failed to marshal a significant push for voting rights on Capitol Hill. Months after taking the assignment, they note, she had not even spoken about the issue with Sens. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) and Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), whose votes were crucial to passing legislation in the Senate.
Voting rights soon became "another dead end" for the vice president, who "continued to resist the exhortation to pick some signature issues, partly out of concern that she would be restricted to handling subjects closely linked to her personal identity." Harris preferred to take ownership of "broad-spectrum issues" that wouldn't be "mainly associated with women and Black Americans."
