Harris gets personal in media blitz, balks at breaking with Biden on policy
Kamala Harris says she can't think of anything she would do differently than President Joe Biden did over the last four years
NEW YORK (AP) — Kamala Harris wanted to help voters get to know her better with a cascade of media appearances Tuesday, but the most lasting impression might have been her unwillingness to break with Joe Biden.
Asked on ABC’s “The View” how she would be different from the president she’s served under for four years, Harris said “we’re obviously two different people” and “I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead.”
However, she was not able to identify a decision where she would have gone another way. “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Harris said.
The exchange encapsulated Harris’ struggle to portray herself as a candidate who can deliver the change voters crave while also remaining loyal to the current administration. Some Harris aides privately winced as gleeful Republicans swiftly circulated clips of her response and Donald Trump swiped at her in a social media post, calling it “her dumbest answer so far.”
