Isn't a vice president in the US just a backup incase the president croaks? Do vice presidents have any real power?
Traditionally they are pure PR and help the president look good. They have very little weight in terms of getting stuff done.
If a bill hits a 50/50 tie in the Senate, the VP casts the deciding vote.
Speaking on this, I believe Harris has done more tie breaker votes than any VP in our recent history as well.
