Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that she would not have done anything different than President Biden if she were running the country over the past three-and-a-half years.
During an appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Ms. Harris was asked to name something she would have done differently from Mr. Biden during his term, but she couldn’t think of anything.
“There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Ms. Harris said. “I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had an impact.”
In an effort to rephrase the question, Ms. Harris was then asked to outline what she would see as the biggest difference between her presidency and a Biden presidency.
She responded that she was a different person than Mr. Biden, but could not name any differences.
“Well, we’re obviously two different people and we have a lot of shared life experiences, for example, the way we feel about our family and our parents. But we are also different people and I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead,” Ms. Harris said.
Ms. Harris then ticked off her resume, highlighting her background combating domestic violence as a prosecutor, and her efforts to improve the nation’s healthcare system while noting that her mom was a small business owner.
“I love our small business and so the influence of personal experience will have its impact on the presidency,” she said.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign immediately seized on Ms. Harris’ comments, citing a series of polls that show 60% of Americans think the nation is on the wrong track.
“If you’re a voter who wants to turn the page from Joe Biden’s failed economy, open border and global chaos then Kamala Harris is not the candidate for you,” The Trump campaign said. “Kamala Harris has no regrets for supporting inflationary spending, open borders and weakness abroad.”
