Most Vice-Presidents tend to be "fairly anonymous" in order to not rock the boat with the Prez!

Its one extreme or the other.

If unlikely they will compete for Presidency they are sent out as attack dogs, like Spiro Agnew or Dick Cheney.

Otherwise dont rock the boat, dont outshine the Prez and dont ruffle feathers that could cost you your own shot at the Presidency.

Biden is of a different nature to Trump. One can only hope that Trump sticks to his nature and manner of addressing people, leaving her with an easier task.

Were that to happen, I cant imagine much better happening to assist Harris's campaign except Trump having a blazing break-up row with Vance. He's been going on about the way Biden has been replaced by Harris, how it has affected his campaign, making complaints about the switch having costs his campaign money.

If he goes after them on a cost-cutting exercise while ignoring their campaign advice, a walkout could happen which would lead to him relying on his family even more or bringing in another agency 5 months from the electoral vote date. They don't grow on trees. That'd get another "YIPPEE" from the Dems/Harris campaign.

It's been reported by several media sources [MSN and Newsweek] that JD Vance is the author of the foreword for the Heritage Foundation leader Kevin Roberts new book "Dawns Early Light" about how the citizens should take Washington back from the people in charge there.

I have not been able to find the wording he used in his foreword and must assume it'll only be available to the buyer in Sept when the book is on sale.

The Ohio Senator has also left an editorial review of the book in which he praises its ideas as “an essential weapon” in “the fights that lie ahead.” “Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism…,” Vance’s review states. “ “We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lie ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”
