I’ve never run for government office, but as a Black woman who has spent my life working in politics - including as manager of Vice President Al Gore’s unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2000 - I know what it’s like to be underestimated, over-scrutinized and unfairly criticized, just as Ms. The only duties of the vice president spelled out in the Constitution are to cast tiebreaking votes in the Senate and to become president if the office becomes vacant. Vice President Kamala Harris occupies an office that can be the butt of jokes and criticism.
