Just curious - where is VP Harris standing in you guys opinion on how much she was involved. Where would you put VP Pence?
from my limited knowledge,
On one side is VP Truman, who my understanding was completely out of the "loop"
On another side, I heard the VP Cheney was quite involved.

Truman didn't know about the atomic bomb until after Roosevelt had died. Talk about "out of the loop."
And, yeah...Cheney.
But, the problem is that Harris is trying to disavow and embrace her status as VPOTUS at the same time.
It's hard to say, "Prices are too high!" when your boss was part of the administration that oversaw that event. Note, I'm not (necessarily) saying Biden's is wholly responsible, but it was on his watch.
Distancing yourself from the guy you worked for/with is...odd. Even if you were the last person out of the room.

I am going to reply with my new favorite quote from this forum board:

I am not surprised

Until she was nominated, the story (by republicans and even the media) was that Harris was basically a DEI figurehead who didn't do jack shit as VP.
Now that she's the nominee, republicans are literally calling it the "Harris-Biden" administration as if she was in charge the whole time.
Typical politics, some people can see the tomfoolery, others can't.

Yeah I think there's like an 12 to 18-month delay on policy vs inflation. Inflation began to skyrocket in Jan 2021. Let's be honest, it happened because of COVID and monetary policy, and yes it started because of what happened during Trump's last 2 years, although not his fault. I know you're not saying this, but to imply Biden on day 1 went into the Oval Office and pressed a button that immediately caused inflation to soar means you (the general you) need to maybe take an economics 101 class.

Well, there is this one little thing...
With Biden's rapidly declining mental health over the last year or so, who was making the decisions?
