Vice President Kamala Harris’ team is strategizing ways to differentiate her from President Joe Biden in the final weeks of the 2024 race. Harris has faced criticism for not outlining clear differences from Biden, which has provided ammunition for her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
Despite polling showing Biden as a liability for Harris, she has refrained from being overtly critical of him. Instead, Harris has proposed new policy initiatives like a “Medicare at home” program and releasing her medical records to showcase her vitality compared to her older opponents.
Although Harris aims to create distance from Biden, she plans to do so in a subtle manner and with White House awareness. She is focused on presenting a fresh leadership approach rooted in her campaign slogan of “a new way forward.”
Harris has expressed willingness to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet and establish a bipartisan council of policy advisers if elected, signaling a commitment to bipartisanship and innovative solutions for various issues affecting Americans.
