    The VP absolutely is an elected position, and is usually responsible for a significant portion of the President’s votes.

    They normally choose a VP candidate based on how many votes they will bring, and Kamala was chosen because she could deliver the black vote to an otherwise lily-white campaign, and that black vote was an important factor in Biden’s win. There is no denying this.

      Yes, there is. Black people hated Kamala only slightly less than Buttigieg(or however you spell his name), and Biden was already liked by older black people, though I’ve no idea why.
