Kamala Harris is expected to model her vice presidency after Joe Biden’s during President Barack Obama’s administration, according to her aides

first woman to be sworn in as vice presidentMs. Harris, the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, is also the first Black vice president and first of Indian descent. In her role, she will serve as a counselor to President Biden and asAt the Lincoln Memorial Wednesday night, Ms. Harris praised the women and civil rights leaders who came before her and said she sees the “American aspiration” they shared across the country today.

“In many ways, this moment embodies our character as a nation,” she said. “It demonstrates who we are. Even in dark times, we not only dream, we do. We not only see what has been, we see what can be. We shoot for the moon. And then we plant our flag on it. We are bold, fearless and ambitious.” Ms. Harris, 56 years old, was sworn in on two Bibles: one that belonged to Regina Shelton, whom Ms. Harris considers a second mother, and one that belonged to Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court justice, who inspired Ms. Harris to pursue law. Ms. Harris also used Ms. Shelton’s Bible when she was sworn in as California’s attorney general and U.S. senator. Ms. Shelton helped take care of Ms. Harris and her sister while their mother worked when they were growing up.

Glad she is not modeling it after her first job in California where she was down on her knees.

Makes sense since Obama will likely be pulling the puppet strings for Biden.

Clown 🤡 news

Omg stop

She is going to line her pockets with foreign money?

How? By selling access to the white house to crooked foreigners via her rotten kids?

Make money

I love to please a man..

So in other words she is going to have shady illegal dealings with foreign powers 🤔

Haha. She’s barley in office and she already gets the worst VP award.

Can they go a single sentence without bringing up her race? Why is it that so much emphasis is put on it, and not her personal achievements? Really makes you think...

Let the grift begin. Joe will detail the importance of arms length relationships and plausible deniability with your family members about their strange new board positions and investment “opportunities”.

Get rich whilw in office?

🪅🍭

Oh won't this just be exciting...snore.

So she'll oppose killing dangerous Muslim jihad terrorists? Sounds about right.
