She Was an 85-Minute President, but Why Is History-Making Kamala Harris an Invisible VP?
The perception and optics of her near-one-year run have not done the controversial ex-prosecutor any favors
For 85 minutes on November 19, 2021, Kamala Harris was the President of the United States. See here for a CNN report, detailing the historic hour-plus when executive powers were officially transferred until Joe Biden was released from the hospital for a routine colonoscopy.
If the U.S. was attacked by an overseas enemy, Harris maintained all decision-making powers until Biden re-assumed his position. Such considerations punctuated the importance of transference.
I was personally overjoyed when the duo of Biden and Harris assumed the White House. I was a fan of Harris; though I did not agree with all of her decisions as a prosecutor, I found her consistently tough, generally bullish on issues important to me, and one who did not suffer fools.
My support of Kamala Harris, though, was unqualified.
Things changed along the way; however, I should note I continue to hold out hope.
