Why come for the VP?

 This one is going to have a more of a personal touch to it, so lets begin..... Here are some of the claims against VICE PRESIDENT Kamala Harris: ***NYT- 10 months into her vice presidency and she has to really deliver to the administration.  ***Some lady who works for a think tank- she has been hiding this whole time and has been under the radar. ***CNN headline-  Headline Link After these outlets spoke, people in the white house moved to defend her. The press secretary stated that she is vital to the president and has addressed things such ass voting right to the causes of migration. The white house Chief of Staff said she is off the on one of the best starts of any vice president. He stated that she had mad an impact on vaccine equity and foreign policy.  Of course CNN said that the Chief of Staff is one of her biggest supporters so whatever he says is biased.

 Ever since Former President Trump lost the election back a year ago, there has been all this talk about elections being fraudulent. To this day that claim has been held up by large republican voices. To bring everything around the reason the January 6th riots happened was republicans were claiming fraud and the only way to change that is to threaten politicians. I*n the present day there are elections that are going happening in Atlanta and their are new restrictions happening in the state to see what is going to work. Minnesota's Secretary of State who is democratic compares this election cycle to a dress rehearsal. Which is fair because there are going to be many changes taking place and instead of them being a surprise they are going to be practiced and tweaked throughout the upcoming months.  From here I am going to break down the specifics.... ***New Jersey and Virginia are the two states that are being looked at the closest. The reason it is these two states because the...
