Harris to Colbert: ‘I’m obviously not Joe Biden ... I’m not Donald Trump’
Vice President Harris sought to distance herself from President Biden and former President Trump late Tuesday, when asked if a potential Harris administration would represent change during an appearance on Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show.”
Colbert said that voters want the 2024 White House race to be a change election, asking the vice president what the major changes would be under her administration if she's elected, and what would stay the same.
“I’m obviously not Joe Biden,” Harris replied.
“So that would be one change ... but also, I think it’s important to say, with 28 days to go, I’m not Donald Trump,” she added.
The Democratic presidential nominee then went on to describe her economic plan, unveiled earlier this year, which she calls an effort to create an “opportunity economy.”
Earlier in the day, Harris made an appearance on ABC’s “The View” and was asked if she would have done something differently during the Biden administration.
She replied, “there is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”
Later during that appearance, the vice president added a new response, pointing to her pledge to have a Republican work in her Cabinet.
“You asked me what is the difference between joe Biden and me, well I am going to have a Republican,” she said. “Because I don’t, I don’t feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea.”
Trump and his allies seized on that comment, arguing she would not govern differently from Biden. Trump posted the clip, arguing Harris “is being exposed as a ‘dummy.’”
Republicans have argued that a Harris administration would be another four years of Biden’s leadership, aligning the two while the vice president balances touting successes of the administration and trying to tell voters she would represent change.
