The last four Vice Presidents have been strong enough to be seen as decent contributors to their administrations; Cheney and Biden have both been at the forefront in representing the Executive Branch in sensitive negotiations.
Harris hasn't seemed to be tapped by this administration to perform the same role. Worse, it feels like this administration has intentionally pulled Harris back while putting Buttigieg in roles that would otherwise go to Harris.
Her position will get her attacked, but it feels like she isn't being defended by the Biden Administration for reasons.
