Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris continues to dodge what should be easy questions during interviews with people and networks who should be considered friendly to her and liberals in general.
On Tuesday night, the vice president wouldn’t directly answer what “major changes” she’d bring to the White House versus the Biden administration.
During an appearance on the “Late Show,” host Stephen Colbert outlined that voters want this year’s election to bring about change. He said that Harris is a member of the current White House administration, and then asked what would stay the same and what would change if she were elected president.
In what would seemingly be an easy question to answer, Harris instead dodged, saying:
“Well, I’m obviously not Joe Biden. … So that would be one change in terms of — but also, I think it’s important to say with 28 days to go, I’m not Donald Trump.”
That much is obvious to anyone. It goes without saying and sounded as if it was a delay tactic to think of how she wanted to respond. Then, she added:
“So, when we think about the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like, were I to be elected president, it is about — frankly, I love the American people, and I believe in our country. I love that it is our character and nature to be an ambitious people.
“We have aspirations, we have dreams. We have incredible work ethic. And I just believe that we can create and build upon the success we’ve achieved in a way that we continue to grow opportunity and in that way, grow the strength of our nation.”
In all those words praising the American people, not once did Harris mention what she’d do differently than the Biden administration. It’s odd that she won’t mention anything, seeing as she doesn’t have to worry about what President Joe Biden thinks of her response.
Even if she doesn’t win the election next month, she only has to serve in the Biden administration for a few more months.
Earlier on Tuesday, Harris appeared on “The View” and was asked what she might have done differently than Biden.
She responded much more directly to this question, but in a strange way. She said:
“There is not a thing that comes to mind. I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”
In essence, then, Harris is rubber-stamping everything that the Biden administration has done during its four years in the White House — all of its failures and all.
Why, then, was it so important for Biden to step aside if nothing has gone wrong? Is it just because of his age and fleeting mental capacity?
Harris had an opportunity to respond in a gracious way, paying homage to Biden but also saying how she would improve upon what she believed their successes were.
Instead, she responded in a way that will surely become fodder for GOP nominee Donald Trump in upcoming ad blitzes.
