Biden + Harris together at big announcements

Clearly there's a strategy to involve Harris in announcements to increase her exposure and project closeness/teamwork with the President (like yesterday at the State Department, EO signings, COVID initiatives, etc.). They're making good on their promise to showcase Harris as an active VP closely aligned with Biden.

Do you think they'll keep this up for first 100 days only and scale back? Or will they stick with this all the way through midterms or longer? Don't get me wrong. I'm not dogging it. In fact, I think it's brilliant for succession planning. It's just the right amount of expsoure for Harris without overshadowing the President and makes for good optics. This just "feels" buttoned-up and on point. Kudos to all who make this happen.

It's smart optics. Will ultimately be limited by the need for her to preside in the Senate. lagomorph777 Feb 2021 #3

own agenda to pursue. At this point it’s all about stabilizing the economy and combating covid.

Kamala will be treated just the way Barack treated Joe. An invaluable right hand person who will always be the last person in the room on important decisions and in the loop on everything.These are natural leaders we are so lucky to have to straighten out the mess left by that profoundly incompetent evil national disgrace.

Joe wants Kamala to be ready to step in at any second. BTW,Kamala is a Information Sponge,and looking at what the Opposition has,they are no match for her Skill Set.
