“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”

“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

      … The VP can’t overrule the president. They also cannot write laws. They do have a lot of things they can do though. Not sure what you think she was supposed to do that she hasn’t though, if it was about overruling past legislature, She can’t. You have to vote for Congress/senators for such.

      That’s on purpose… We were taught such in elementary school, middle school, and high school, but so many people seem to not remember anything.

      You don’t ask a judge to write a law, he’s in the wrong branch. Same with a VP.

        The VP can’t overrule the president.

        She can differ from him on the campaign trail. She has chosen not to.

          Good, she needs to win the election. Biden Beat Trump last time, trying to differentiate herself too much from him could tank her chances this time.

          Let’s see what happens once she’s in office. Or, I guess we can watch as Trump funnels infinite firepower to Israel so that they can “finish the job”. The voters will decide that, so maybe consider what’s actually at stake.

            Don’t see you whining when she moves to Biden’s right. Biden didn’t promise to appoint a Republican to his cabinet. You’re all in on that because it’s not the left you hate because the left opposes genocide.

        In biden’s one and only press conference, he said that Harris agreed with every single policy of the administration and her input was crucial to him supporting anything.

        She’s also had a chance on the campaign trail to stray from his policies and she has not
