    How is this her first political test? Has she not been VP for the past 3.5 years?

      Because the VP doesn’t generally realistically differ from the president’s stance on things, until the president is either term-limited or isn’t running as the incumbent. Harris has the actual agency to define her own policies now, and we are seeing her publicize those as they become relevant to current and active situations.

        That’s a really good point which I hadn’t considered.

        Still, I’d call Israel her first political test. That was in the news for the past few days.

          She’s pretty clearly beginning to distance herself publicly from Biden. That was in the news just yesterday. It was one of the bigger stories.
