Will Kamala Harris at last make a difference?

Kamala Harris it is claimed is upping her game to make more of an impact on behalf of Joe Biden's reelection campaign. It is surely about time. So far she has made little difference to the Biden administration's good fortunes. She had and has so much potential it has always seemed bizarre that she has not come forward to let the American people know that as Biden's vice president she could if necessary take over the reigns of power. With Biden as old as he is, it has becme increasingly important for her to demonstrate her skills and powers of leadership. But it simply hasn't happened. Now, she has her chance and I think it would be entirely beneficial both for the Biden administration and for the country if she steps out from behind Biden and shows what she is made of. It is of course the curse of every vice president that their role is to support the president without making a lot of noise or fuss. But the US is in an election countdown and so far all the focus has been on Donald Trump and his so-called rivals for the Republican nomination. Kamala Harris needs to take on new responsibilities so that the public will take notice. Biden has the advantage of being the encumbent president, so he gets as much publicity as he needs every day. His vice president needs now to be hitting the headlines, though obviously for the right reasons. She is more than competent as a speechmaker and looks good. Biden will benefit from having a vice president with a higher profile. So let her be unleashed.
