The White House has stated that Vice President Kamala Harris has been aligned with President Biden’s policies during their three years working together and will build on their shared success going forward. While Harris has not explicitly outlined how her vision may differ from Biden’s, she is said to be focused on continuing their alignment and building on their past successes. The Trump campaign has criticized Harris as being another Biden term and has stated they will aim to hold her accountable for the decisions made during their administration.
Despite not having a clear policy vision separate from Biden, Harris is receiving more enthusiasm from voters compared to Biden. The White House noted that the president passed the torch to Harris due to their close work together over the past three and a half years. However, Harris has not had any interviews since becoming the Democratic nominee and her campaign website does not mention specific policy plans, instead highlighting her accomplishments with Biden. Both Harris and Biden have underwater approval ratings, with Harris receiving a slight boost in approval since becoming the Democratic nominee.
The Trump campaign has indicated that they will focus on reminding voters that Harris represents a continuation of Biden’s administration and will hold her accountable for the decisions made during his presidency. They plan to highlight Biden’s record on the economy and immigration, aiming to ensure that Harris does not distance herself from Biden’s policies. While Harris has not addressed how her policy vision may differ from Biden’s, the Trump campaign is positioning her as synonymous with Biden’s policies.
As the 2024 campaign unfolds, it remains to be seen how Harris will differentiate herself from Biden in terms of policy and vision. The White House has emphasized their alignment and shared success over the past three and a half years, indicating that Harris will build on the accomplishments of the Biden administration. With Harris receiving more enthusiasm from voters compared to Biden, the Trump campaign is focused on portraying her as a continuation of Biden’s policies and holding her accountable for the decisions made during his presidency. Despite the lack of clarity on Harris’s policy vision, the dynamics between Harris, Biden, and the Trump campaign are evolving as the 2024 election approaches.
