Vice President Kamala Harris’ team has been discussing ways to differentiate her from President Joe Biden, as Biden is seen as a drag on her candidacy. Harris has been hesitant to criticize Biden directly but has proposed new policy ideas like a “Medicare at home” program and releasing her medical records to show she is younger and more energetic. However, she has not settled on a final strategy for how to distance herself from Biden while still praising his leadership. Harris has mentioned appointing a Republican to her Cabinet and creating a bipartisan council of policy advisers if she wins. Despite efforts to differentiate herself from Biden, Harris has been criticized by former President Donald Trump for saying she couldn’t think of anything she would do differently than Biden. Biden has been stung by Harris’ responses and believes she needs to draw more contrasts with him in the weeks ahead. Overall, Harris is walking a fine line between praising Biden and presenting herself as a new way forward for voters.
