Vice President Kamala Harris’ team has been discussing ways to differentiate her from President Joe Biden as the 2024 election approaches. Harris has been criticized for her responses to questions about how she would be different from Biden, including saying she couldn’t think of anything she would do differently. Polls show that Biden is dragging down Harris’ candidacy, and voters are eager for a new direction. Harris has proposed new policy ideas, such as a “Medicare at home” program, and has released her medical records to show she is young and energetic compared to Biden and former President Donald Trump. Harris is considering how to distance herself from Biden while still being loyal and has discussed areas where she could do this, such as the care economy and leadership style. She may give the White House a heads up before making any distinctions from Biden. Harris has tried to balance praising Biden’s record with outlining her own agenda for a “new way forward.” Critics have seized on her comments about not doing anything differently from Biden, calling her incompetent. Harris has promised to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet and establish a bipartisan council of policy advisers if elected. Despite Biden being stung by Harris’ comments during a debate with Trump, he has no major concerns about Harris drawing contrasts with him in the future. Ultimately, Harris is focused on doing whatever it takes to win the election.
