That’s where the latest allegations of sexual assault may hurt him too.
As a woman, I cannot imagine working closely with/for someone who has credible allegation of sexual assault against him. It’d be very weird don’t you think? Even if you’re used to the normal political backstabbing in DC, I’d be watching my back (and front) a few more ways than the VP usually has to, no? 
Still I’d bet good money that she’s gonna stick to her guns and not get swayed by people trying to sell this to her. She seemed all too happy to keep politics at arm’s length, and she’s having it pretty good right now (book, tour, Netflix film series). Why give that all up to get back into what is sure to be an ugly hyper-polarized campaign and then signup for 4 more years in the WH?
