Vice President Kamala Harris’ team has been discussing ways to differentiate her from President Joe Biden in response to questions this week, as her opponents have criticized her for not having clear distinctions. Polling shows that voters are looking for a new direction, and Harris has proposed new policy ideas such as a “Medicare at home” program. She is also releasing her medical records to emphasize her youth compared to Biden and former President Donald Trump. Harris is considering various ways to distance herself from Biden, including focusing on the care economy and overall leadership style. While she has been loyal to Biden, she may give the White House a heads up before making any critical remarks. Harris has tried to balance praising Biden’s leadership while also representing her campaign slogan of “a new way forward.” In recent interviews, she has struggled to specify how she would differ from Biden, leading to criticism from Trump and his campaign. Biden has expressed some concern over Harris not drawing enough contrasts with him, but also believes she should do whatever is necessary to win the election. Overall, Harris is working to find a delicate balance between loyalty to Biden and defining her own agenda as she seeks the Democratic nomination in the 2024 presidential race.
