Hold the phone, Leeroy.

Harris has also been abroad as Biden's stand-in, thus being already familiar on the world stage. Hillary worked her arse off as Sec. of State, but the world wasn't in a state back then like it is now, so Harris has been double-teaming with Blinken.

As someone here pointed out, and it bears repeated by multiple people that #VicePresidentHarris hasn't done a lot outside of DC that most VPs do because she had to spend all of her time in Washington breaking tie votes. She's broken more tie votes that any other VP in US history. The last VP to do even close to this much was John C Calhoun. The #vicepresident is supposed to be a boring ass job where tie breaking is rare so they go out and do stuff the president asks them to do. Instead she's had to essentially keep her senator role, and ONLY because republicans refuse to compromise on ANYTHING. Don't let people tell you she hasn't been doing anything, she's worked harder than any other VP in history. She'd love to enjoy her fun VP side projects but she's literally too busy for that. Haven't heard much from her in the past 4 years? Blame the #republicans

Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard

NYTimes:

Defense and administration officials said it was Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, who approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard. It was unclear why the president, who incited his supporters to storm the Capitol and who is still the commander in chief, did not give the order.

President Trump initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard, according to a person with knowledge of the events. It required intervention from the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, among other officials, the person familiar with the events said.

The Vice President of the United States is not in the military chain of command.

Possible reports are that the DoD refused Trump's order to deploy.
