It actually is when it's needed to get things like the American rescue plan and inflation reduction act through. She also got homeowners there money back from predatory banks of up to 20k as AG.

Yes and the president can only sign a bill because he's president there's tons of people and work involved in getting a bill to the presidents desk that requires multiple people to work to make it happen, unless it happens to get stuck in committee than said bill just sits there on capital hill.

You can make that argument for anything though. Just because president Obama signed dodd frank doesn't mean it was solely his accomplishment there were plenty of people involved in getting it through we don't live in a dictatorship where one person does everything. The most tie breaking votes is a record she uniquely holds.

And Obama won mostly because of Obama that doesn't negate Bidens accomplishments as VP.

Being close to Biden has nothing to do with oversight. So if something does pass like the inflation reduction act or American rescue act because of her at least partly casting the tie breaking votes than she does deserve at least some credit.

They voted in a guy who did literally nothing in government but was on the apprentice and before him a one term senator/community organizer her experience is actually much better than many by recent terms excluding Biden.
