"Can you name one thing Kamala Harris accomplished as vice president?"?

[ManInChains]

Yes, I can

No, I cannot

[DrPepper12]

Glad you asked!

Kamala Harris has achieved numerous significant accomplishments throughout her political career:

As District Attorney of San Francisco (2004-2011), Harris established a program to give first-time drug offenders the chance to earn a high school diploma and find employment, which became a national model.

As California Attorney General (2011-2017), she won a $20 billion settlement for Californians whose homes had been foreclosed on and a $1.1 billion settlement for students and veterans taken advantage of by a for-profit education company. She also defended the Affordable Care Act in court.

In the U. S. Senate (2017-2021), Harris championed legislation to fight hunger, provide rent relief, improve maternal healthcare, expand access to capital for small businesses, and combat climate change. She questioned two Supreme Court nominees while on the Judiciary Committee.

As Vice President (2021-present), Harris has led efforts to protect voting rights, women's reproductive freedoms, and gun safety. She set a new record for most tie-breaking votes cast by a Vice President, including the decisive vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act. Harris also presided over the confirmation of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.

In SF as DA:
Harris initiated an anti-truancy program in 2008 that threatened to prosecute parents whose children chronically missed school. This was controversial, as it could potentially lead to jail time for parents.

She declined to pursue the death penalty for a gang member who shot a San Francisco police officer, showing her opposition to capital punishment as DA

Harris advocated for youth diversion initiatives and bias training for law enforcement.

She positioned herself as a "get-it-done" progressive, focusing on bringing law and order to the streets while emphasizing personal responsibility.

Under her tenure, property crime in San Francisco decreased from 39,384 reported crimes in 2003 to 33,200 in 2010.

Harris pushed for programs that helped people find jobs instead of putting them in prison, reflecting her "smart on crime" approach.

But wait! there's more!!!

As CA AG:
California Homeowner Bill of Rights: Harris championed this legislation, which provided homeowners with protections against unfair foreclosure practices
Criminal Justice Reforms: She launched initiatives to reduce recidivism, including programs focused on implicit bias training for law enforcement and a statewide body camera program
Environmental Initiatives: Harris defended California's environmental laws, including the state's cap-and-trade program and Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and reached settlements with major oil companies over violations of state laws
Death Penalty: Although personally opposed to the death penalty, she defended its constitutionality in court, arguing for its legal review.

Come back if you need more!

So a whole bunch of nothin

Like Billy from Avon said, "As You Like It"

[NaultD]

Breaking the 50/50 split back in 2022 to democratic party. It's supposed to be an advisor role with the logic of stepping up if anything happens and intentionally more hands off.

Dick cheney under bush jr fucked it up getting hands on with the war on terror for personal gain. With military knowledge to flatten an area then use his personal corporation to rebuild. In the same way general kelly created child separation mandate to be default policy in the white house then immediately left to be a board member of the holding facility contracted to do follow that order.

So it's better for all the advisor rolls around the president not to have ulterior motivation. Their job is to help the president.

[RebelinSteel]

Nope, mainly as not an American, what is the role of a vice president? Also did the last president have one, or are their optional a bit like it’s optional for a deputy PM?

[kmg9150]

Lie to the American people. Denounced the oath she took when she signed up as VP. Specifically about Joes condition.

[KostasKouvalis]

She went to Vietnam to witness Communism at work and to learn how she can apply it in American society

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope. Vice presidents are just figure heads there in case the president dies.

[Staximus]

Yes, giving idiotic speeches

[noohair]

She does a good word salad.
