Why, America? with Leeja Miller

Throughout history, the United States Vice President has often played a pretty insignificant role, but the power of the VP grew in the 20th century, culminating with Dick Cheney. Lately, VPs have once again felt rather insignificant, but with Trump's latest announcement of his VP pick in JD Vance, someone who has said he would have done what Mike Pence wouldn't on January 6th, who touts much of the same talking points as Project 2025, and who is seen by many as the next generation to carry the MAGA legacy, the question is warranted: how much power does the Vice President even have?

We've been fighting the War on Drugs for over 50 years now, and it's only gotten worse. Even with Obama officially retiring the phrase "War On Drugs" that was just symbolic, we're still fighting the same fight we always have, but not against an even more formidable enemy: the opioid epidemic. And we're losing. 👑 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/leejamiller 👕 Get your Reagan Ruined Everything t-shirt right here: https://leejamillermerch.com/ 📃Learn the US Constitution the EASY way, with Smartass Civics from Leeja Miller ➡️ http://smartasscivics.com
