She's a lot more borderline on the issue than Biden. Her speech in December-ish was fairly critical of Israel's behavior up to that point and she called for a ceasefire pretty early on in comparison to others in the admin. She also normally would have presided over the speech Netanyahu gave this week, but chose not to. Is it enough? No, not really, but she's the VP and effectively a figurehead. I think it bodes well for at least a small shift in stance if she makes it in though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
