I’ve often assumed Harris didn’t want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?

    Your boss can still fire you or make your life miserable if you openly trash the job (s)he’s doing.

    Yeah, but her boss is Biden…

    The worst that would happen is some journalist reports he mumbled something under his breathe.

    If he wouldn’t do more about Bibi and Republicans, why would he do more if he didn’t like what Kamala said?

        You’re getting downvoted because your understanding of the government is just made up. The vice president is an elected position, not an employee of Biden and not under some legal obligation to not contradict him. Until the Twelfth Amendment the vice president was just the person who got the second-most votes, often an actual opponent of the president.
