Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that she couldn’t think of anything she’d have done differently than President Joe Biden during the last four years, aside from having a Republican in her Cabinet. “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, the work that we have done,” Harris said during an interview on ABC’s “The View” – a comment that was quickly seized upon by her Republican rivals and revealed the fine line the vice president must walk between being loyal to her boss and making the case to voters that she can usher in a new era in US politics. While Harris has been running as the face of a new generation of Democratic politicians since taking over the top of the ticket from Biden in July, the answer shows a stark political problem for Harris: She’s running as a change candidate even though she has not revealed any major breaks that she would make with her boss. And given that Biden’s approval ratings are underwater – CNN’s Poll of Polls shows his approval rating at 40% and his disapproval at 55% – that is an issue for the Harris campaign. In her answer on The View, Harris pointed to several policies under the Biden administration, including investing in American manufacturing industries and capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors, which she said she intends to expand to all Americans. She highlighted that they are “obviously two different people” with different life experiences. The vice president later noted one way she would differ from Biden if she is elected president: “Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my cabinet,” Harris said. “You asked me, what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me? Well, that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my cabin, because I don’t, I don’t feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea,” she said.
