    I’m not talking about hosting a lunch, and you know it.

    I’m talking about national media presence.

    It’s not her fault, but she’s significantly less visible than past VPs in both online media coverage and her own party’s preferred TV news segments.

    I’m saying that it would be wise to have the party prioritize changing that quickly given the odds around how things might play out over the next twelve months.

    Especially given things like the recent NBC News poll where she had the lowest approval rating since the poll began in 1989, articles like this NY Mag piece, or this WP piece, etc.

    This is a PR issue, and it really seems like the party/administration is just pretending it doesn’t exist and focusing 100% on Biden rather than investing into improving her national image when there’s a real chance she’s going to need to carry a victory against Trump home unless they replace her (which Biden won’t do).
