The ONLY thing notable that Kamala Harris did as Vice President was make History as the first and only female and Minority Vice President. She didn't REALLY do anything special as Vice President however. Would have been beyond remarkable if Kamala were the one REALLY in charge of the United States and Joe was just the acting President. I would have loved for her to have signed bills that would have REALLY curbed inflation such as putting food, gas, and basic living expenses back to say 1990 with 2024 pay rate. 💡
Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts.

Vice Presidents aren't in a position to do anything terribly remarkable. Very few ever have while in office. As an aside, Charles Curtis, a Native American, was the first minority VP.

It would have been a Constitutional Crisis if Joe was President but Kamala signed the bills. As they say in some parts of the country, that dog don't hunt.

Hmm. Kamala still made History as the first and only Female Vice President. 💡

She also went down in history as the worst vice president. I'm sure when there are other female vice presidents she will be the worst female vice president ever, that's the history she made. The fact that she thinks she can run again in 2028 and stand any kind of a chance of being nominated shows just how plain stupid she is.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

And I proudly voted for her in the 2020 and the 2024 general!

Um, Spiro Agnew resigned in disgrace for graft. Aaron Burr shot a guy in a duel. Andrew Jackson regretted not executing John Calhoun for treason. Harris the worst? She doesn't make the first cut.

No matter what Democrats had done instead, if we lost, none on the other side would be saying we made the best move possible. Because the winning side never says that. You lose, you don't get complimented for strategy. At least, I've never heard it yet.

She was actually the only VP in history to exercise power time and time again
Most VP's never get to break a tie in the Senate
Joe Biden was VP 8 years and never voted once
She has voted more times in the Senate then any VP in the history of the United States of America
33 times

That may be true, but nothing is LESS relevant to her performance. It’s not like she thought even once. She just did what Schumer told her to do. The only thing I recall her being ‘appointed’ to do was be the ‘border czar’. Her abject failure at that one task is the main reason we are getting Trump 2.

If I’m a Democrat I PRAY she doesn’t run again. The few votes she’d get in a primary would do her nor the party any good.

I could be wrong, but it is likely the only time a VP possibly voted against the wishes of the president was before the 12th Amendment changed the process of the Vice Presidential election rules. Perhaps it could have happened for procedural reasons since then; that would seem to be the only reason for it to happen.

She voted more times because of a tie vote...literally rode up to the Capitol, went in and voted, and then headed back to wherever she needed to be. No real role in the debate of any of that.

Not really impressive in any way other than the fact that the Senate was tied for a good while. She did not control the Senate agenda or the President's agenda.

What could have been easier to do than listen to the Majority Leader about when to show up and vote the way the Boss says to vote?

Please present something she really did as VP.
