The Vice President's only constitutional power is to break ties in the Senate, which is not a very relevant power.

Not defending the person you replied to, but the VP still has behind-closed-doors influence on the sitting president. Pretty sure Biden influenced Obama to support gay marriage, when the latter was iffy because much of the public was still homophobic in the '00s to early '10s.

She's already been doing that. But it's not magic. The only other option for her would be to resign her position but that's political suicide in the US.
