Harris' remarks were not an outlier. 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 thing that's changed and what's stayed the same?” Colbert asked.
Harris responded with the boilerplate answer, “I'm definitely not Joe Biden,” before giving a rambling response.
