People are, with good reason, afraid to let Joe Biden continue in office, given some of the things that come out of his mouth when he goes off script. But here are a couple of recent quotations from his vice president, Kamala Harris.
1) “Culture is — it is a reflection of our moment in our time, right? And in present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment. And we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy, because as you know, it comes in the morning. We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way too.”
2) “So, I think it’s very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders, for us at every moment in time — and certainly this one — to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.”
It’s possible that we’ve been thinking about the vice presidency in the wrong way. Maybe the main job of the Vice President is simply to make the President look good by comparison. In which case, Ms. Harris is perhaps the best Vice President ever.
