Vice President Kamala Harris, who once campaigned as an agent of change, shattered that image on Tuesday, without mentioning specific policy changes she would make from the past four years.
After Democrats eliminated Harris in July, President Joe Biden made bizarre and repeated attempts to link her to their own failures, as if he were blatantly trying to undermine her candidacy. The whiplash injury made it even stronger.
Look — the ad says Kamala Harris “once was a radical, always a radical.”

Biden previously said he would delegate “everything” to Harris as commander in chief, including foreign and domestic policy. “We're singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the legislation. She's had a major role in everything we've done,” Biden said last week. He spoke to reporters in the White House press briefing room.
Biden's comments at the time were at odds with Harris' position, which sought to distance itself from their records. Under his administration, costs increased by about 20% overall, Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal immigrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered a deadly Afghanistan withdrawal.
A September RMG Research poll found that 57% of registered voters think life would be worse under a Biden-Harris administration than it was under former President Donald Trump four years ago. Ta. Only 25% of Americans rate the economic situation under the Biden-Harris administration as “good or good,” a Pew survey found.
Harris, meanwhile, campaigned on a “new generation of leadership,” speaking to Brian Tough of Philadelphia's Action News 6ABC on Sept. 13. “My approach is about new ideas, new policies directed at this moment. And also, to be very honest, my focus is on what we will do in the next 10, 20 years to catch up with the 21st century. I mean, do you have to?”
Harris' nearly 70-day effort to position herself as an agent of change was shattered this week. In three separate interviews, she regretted not being able to offer a single concrete policy over the past four years, which undermined her campaign strategy. “During the last four years, have you done anything different than President Biden?” the view' host Sunny Hostin asked.
“I don't have any recollections of this. I have participated in most of the decisions that have affected me,” Harris responded.
Hours later, on CBS Steve Colbert's Late ShowHarris again declined to provide specific policy changes over the past four years. “What's the big change and what stays the same?'' Colbert asked.
“I’m clearly not Joe Biden,” Harris said in a boilerplate answer before rambling.
And when you think about what this next generation of leadership looks like, what if I were elected president? That, frankly, I love the American people, I believe in our country, and I believe that it is essentially our character to be ambitious people. I love you. You know, we all have aspirations.
The third time, when asked about specific policies during the meeting, 60 minutes In an interview Monday, Harris did not say she intended to change the policy. Instead, Harris argued, for example, that Congress needs to “fix” incursions at the southern border, but that laws are already in place to prevent illegal immigration and secure the southern border. The Biden-Harris administration will be inaugurated in 2021. Flip or undo Many of the Trump-era border policies, e.g. Paused Remain in Mexico policy on the first day of the administration.
“But the first three years of your administration saw a historic surge of illegal immigration across the border,” CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker prefaced his question to Harris. “In fact, the number of people entering the country has quadrupled compared to last year under President Trump. Was it a mistake to relax immigration policies so much?”
“It's a long-standing problem, and the solution is right around the corner. And literally from day one, we've been providing the solution,” Harris asserted. “We need to make sure that Congress can act to actually solve the problem.”
