Vice President Harris Versus President Harris [View all]

When an interviewer in the media asks Kamala why she has not done this or that since she has been in office the last several years, I think that she should point out that she has been the Vice President and not the President. It is the President is who is in charge, not the Vice President. She should take partial credit for all of the good things that the Biden Administration has done. Yet, she should also stop the gotcha questions from folks like those at Fox who keep focusing on the talking point that Kamala should have done more since she was in the Biden Administration.

She could remain loyal to Joe Biden and be rightfully proud of her part in the Administration, but she should point out that she was the Vice President, not the President, and that a Kamala Harris Presidency will not be a continuation of the Biden Administration. It will be its own thing. Kamala Harris will chart her own course as President. We should stop all of the gotcha media who keep saying that she has not done enough in the past Biden Administration. She has served well as VP, but her role was to support Joe Biden, not to be in charge. And she did well at that. A Kamala Harris Administration will have its own strengths and character. Kamala will chart her own course once she is fully in charge as President. So we should stop that particular gotcha question in its tracks.
