On CNN's “The Source” broadcast on Friday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D), who also represents Harris Walz, said 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Vice President Joe Biden He said he was a “completely different person” from the president. But she didn't say what she might have done differently because “it's hard to think things through on the spot.”
Host Caitlan Collins said, “When asked the other day if she would have acted differently than Biden, she said she had no idea.'' On immigration, she said, “Yes, if he were president.'' Do you think I should have said, “I would have handled things differently?''
Polis replied: “Look, this is a completely different person. So I'm excited about Kamala Harris. I think Joe Biden has done a great job as president. [are] I agree with him on some things and disagree with him on many things, but I'm very excited about what Kamala Harris brings. And when she talks about the opportunity economy, when she talks about small businesses, I'm sure that's what Joe Biden likes, but that's not who he is and that's not what he's talking about. He talks about factories and buildings, and may God bless him for that. But Kamala Harris is talking about the future, and not going back to the previous president who had a very mixed presidential record, including policies that led to rapid inflation and slowing economic growth. He is a replacement candidate. ”
Collins followed up by saying, “But since you're a governor who's had to deal with immigration issues in your state, do you think she should have answered that question differently then?” .
Polis replied: But there [are] There will be a lot of differences between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, because he's a completely different person and they'll be on a completely different team. Again, I think Joe Biden has done a great job as a transition period to lead the way for a future-oriented president who embraces the opportunity economy and small businesses, addresses the border security issue, and solves it. . She's a prosecutor and she puts criminals behind bars, which is great experience for a country that desperately needs a president who can help keep us safe. ”
