Just dropped by to state some opinions. May have already been stated, not going back to look.
I believe Joe is day-to-day, at best. My brother pointed out to me that anywhere substantive Joe goes, so does Harris. She's trying to learn as much as she can as fast as possible. Tells me the probability of Joe becoming totally unfit for office is high, if not imminent.
Would have expected her to have read all the briefing books prepared for Joe before being inaugurated. She's also reading/getting the same morning intelligence briefing Joe gets. Fully expect her to get a copy of ANY critical 3:00 a.m. news, if you will. Expect Harris is either sitting with Joe in the Oval Office or very nearby during non-public occasions. Also expect Harris is running non-public Cabinet/National Security Council meetings, while Joe presides. It would be crazy if she wasn't. I sure as hell would be doing it if I was Harris. She carves out time to preside over the Senate when needed.
Also believe while Joe officially has his finger on "the button", nothing's going unless Harris says so. And nothing serious is coming out of the Oval Office that Harris doesn't see and informally sign off on. Undoubtedly there's an arrangement with Pelosi, Schumer, and the minority leaders to allow Harris to get ready to take over. Harris is working a lot of late nights to prepare, least we should hope so. And if she is smart she should be having backchannel discussions with President Trump on certain issues he knows a lot about. Could save her a lot of effort and grief later.
My guess...six months max at this rate. Could be sooner if a major crisis hits and Joe can't rise to the challenge.
