    The American vice president has only two important constitutional roles: to break tie votes in the Senate, and to sit on presidential death watch. This latter task will be more important under a second Biden presidency than it has been at any time since FDR’s fourth term. Should Biden be re-elected, there is a one in three chance of his vice president taking his job before January 2029. And roughly half the electorate thinks that Harris is not up to the demands of that job.

      if trump has taught us anything, its that any idiot can technically function as president. i dont see harris being some terrible temporary president. i see a lot of racists kinda freakin out at the possibility though.
