Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson contended that Vice President Kamala Harris has more potential than her office allows her to demonstrate during a Q and A with readers on Tuesday.
Robinson's remarks came in response to a Washington Post reader named Sharon who participated in the question and answer session. Sharon asked, "Assuming Biden runs again, wouldn’t it make sense for him to drop VP Harris and find another running partner?"
She added, "She strikes me as having little impact, she is not an inspiring leader, and there are numerous other high profile Dems who would create more enthusiasm for the ticket."
Robinson responded unequivocally and argued that Harris is an elite politician.
"I don't think so," he answered.
"If VP Harris is not having impact, it is mostly -- perhaps entirely -- because she is in the gilded prison known as the vice presidency. It is her job to be second fiddle. She is a much better and more effective politician than her current position allows her to demonstrate," he continued.
"And whether President Biden decides to step away in 2024 0r 2028, she will be a formidable contender for the Democratic presidential nomination," Robinson wrote.
