It's been just over a year since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the US Presidential election, and seized power from a very disgruntled Donald Trump, bringing to an end one of America's most contentious political terms.

But 12 months on from the shift from Republican to Democratic leadership, many people are asking why we have seen and heard so little from the pair?

The Quicky speaks to an American political analyst to find out if Biden and Harris have just been quietly working away in the background, or if they have failed to live up to the hope and promise they offered in 2020.
