Kamala Harris has admitted on television what we have all been saying for years now: she’s aligned with Biden on everything and responsible for pretty much everything he’s done while in office.
So why would we elect her for another term?
At a Glance
- In a media appearance, Harris couldn’t specify major policy changes from Biden’s presidency.
- She distanced herself from both Biden and Trump, emphasizing her distinct identity.
- Harris pledged a Republican Cabinet member, distinguishing from Biden.
- Critics suggest her alignment could be used against her in political ads.
Harris on “The Late Show”
During her appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Vice President Kamala Harris was tasked with a challenging question: What would she do differently from President Joe Biden if she were to become president? Her response was not distinguished by innovative policy shifts but rather stayed closely aligned with the current administration’s objectives. Harris emphasized not being either Joe Biden or Donald Trump, a comment met with audience applause. Her lack of deviation invites scrutiny over her potential to lead independently.
Critics interpreted Harris’s answers as a confirmation of her commitment to uphold Biden’s strategies without significant diversification. This stance might appeal to voters satisfied with the current administration. However, it raises questions about her ability to draw independent support. Harris further highlighted plans for an “opportunity economy,” showcasing continuity rather than contrast, further confirmed by her statements on “The View,” endorsing Biden’s actions wholeheartedly.

She just basically gave the country another reason not to vote for her.
A Promise of Consistency
Alluding to plans for her potential administration, Harris did manage to articulate one distinct difference: the inclusion of a Republican member in her Cabinet.
“You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me, well I am going to have a Republican,” she noted, suggesting her openness to ideas across party lines. However, this alone might not be substantial enough to diminish observation of her adherence to Biden’s legacy, which critics might leverage in opposition campaigns, linking her closely to the President’s record.
Harris’s emphasis on individual values added personal touchpoints during her media tour, including sharing light-hearted anecdotes and personal stories. Yet, these personal insights, while potentially relatable, do little to outline a varied political roadmap. Polls still show that many voters seek further clarity on Harris’s distinct policy vision, highlighting the importance of upcoming campaign narratives in capturing undecided voters.
She’s toast.
