I'm confused what bill are you two talking about that a vice president with sign?

Honestly I have no idea what they're referring to either. It was Congress that handled the bill, not something that ever crossed the desk of the president or VP. I think Trumpers are just desperate to accuse Harris of something, anything, so they've been making up a lot of crap to see what sticks. I mean yeah, Harris has a sketchy record when it comes to Palestine and it's difficult to know how that situation is going to play out. I even had one of them accuse me of cherry-picking my data because I dared to link a Palestinian newspaper which made the case that under Harris things would be bad, but under Trump they would be dead. It's pretty obvious how desperate they're getting though when they're arguing that Harris must have made up her childhood because she claimed to have grown up in a town that neighbored where she was born... apparently they've never heard of this weird concept where people actually move.

Just guessing but the VP is the head of the Senate and casts any tie breaking votes there. Not sure if that happened here but it's how the VP can get involved with "signing" stuff in the Senate.
