The other day Kamala Harris claimed that she’ll implement her economic plans once she’s in the Oval Office.
Ben Shapiro responded to that statement like this:
YOU ARE THE SITTING VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW https://t.co/Dote7n2bvs

A very unintelligent MSNBC contributor mocked Shapiro, suggesting that Kamala is only the vice president and has no real authority:

Shapiro responded this morning with something Joe Biden said two days ago when he was on The View:
“As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.”
No, Joe Biden does.

BOOM! This proves that Joe Biden gave her authority over both foreign policy and domestic policy, like the economy and the border.
And if you all recall, both Joe and Kamala have claimed repeatedly that she was the last one in the room advising Joe on his big Afghanistan withdrawal disaster.
When I was searching for Joe Biden’s quote above, I found this article from former CNN hack Chris Cillizza:
President Joe Biden, as part of his farewell-from-politics tour, stopped by “The View” on Wednesday. And, in the process, he said something dumb.
Here’s Biden on Vice President Kamala Harris:
As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.
I get what he was going for. The criticism of the Biden-Harris relationship — before he bowed out of the race over the summer — was that they weren’t terribly close and that the president (and his inner circle) didn’t trust the vice president with the really big jobs and decisions.
Fair or unfair, I think Biden is reacting to that criticism here. He’s bending over backwards to send a message that Harris was his partner in all things in the White House.
Again, I get it!
Democrats know that Biden just proved that Kamala has far more authority than she’s willing to admit and that’s the last thing she needs right now in this election if she wants to win.
