    Harris seems to be a really overrated political figure. The threads about the Trump administration did not put Pence in the title.
    Honestly?

    Trump didn't need for every Republican politician like Pence to step aside so that he could win the nomination.

    While Biden might have been able to do what Trump did?

    We are never going to know.

    Biden/Harris administration's performance has been less satisfactory than I had hoped. The covid pandemic, the border crisis, the undocumented immigrant influx, etc.

    But they've been in office for only 150 days, so I am still willing to give them a chance. I hope they'll have accomplished much at the year's end.

    How can you not like how they handled COVID? especially after the last guy.
    Just look at the States were people want to be vaccinated, everyone can get one and we are reopening.

    Trump was the guy every Republican candidate should have united against.

    Biden did have most of the party uniting behind him, although that's because he was the main alternative to Sanders after his blowout win in the South Carolina primary.

    The running mates served different purposes.

    Once Harris dropped out, she was seen as a potential running mate for either Sanders or Biden (or Bloomberg, for that matter.)

    Pence showed that the establishment and the religious right could work with Trump, which was necessary for his win.
    Sincerely,
    Thomas Mets

    LOVE IT! So, so, SO happy. Thrilled we have our first female VP, thrilled we have our first openly gay Secretary (Mayor Pete), thrilled that the President once again conducts himself with respect and inspires hope, rather than embarrassment. It's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
