Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has been repeatedly asked what she would do differently than President Joe Biden if elected. Despite being posed with this question on multiple occasions, Harris has struggled to provide a clear answer, choosing to express loyalty to Biden instead. This challenge comes as Harris is trying to campaign as a change candidate while simultaneously being an incumbent vice president. Although she has not distanced herself from Biden’s policies or actions, Harris has highlighted her shared experiences with the president and expressed her intentions to lead with her own sensibilities. The Trump campaign has attempted to tie Harris to Biden’s administration and take advantage of her inability to differentiate herself. Despite this, recent polls show that more voters view Harris as the candidate of change. Harris has only made a few policy departures from Biden, including backing a modest increase in the capital-gains tax rate. In an effort to distinguish herself, Harris mentioned her plan to have a Republican in her Cabinet. During television appearances, she emphasized her love for the American people and the country’s ambitious nature. As the election approaches, Harris continues to campaign on the platform of building upon the country’s successes and creating positive change.
