Back in September, a New York Times/Siena College poll found that 95 percent of registered voters want a candidate who represents a change from President Joe Biden. But that could mean bad news for Vice President Kamala Harris, because apparently the main difference between her and Biden is that she is a woman of color, according to Mitch Landrieu, a national co-chair for the Harris-Walz campaign.
CNN’s John Berman asked Landrieu on Thursday to weigh in on how Harris differs from her boss.
“Vice President Harris has been asked repeatedly how she’s different than President Biden, and some people think she’s been tripped up by answering that,” Berman said. “How do you think she is different than President Biden?”
“Well first of all, whatever the difference is between them, it’s not nearly as vast as the difference between her and Donald Trump. She’s obviously a woman, she is a woman of color, and she is of a new generation. … So she is, she is not Joe Biden, as much as they want to try to make her Joe Biden. But she was and is part of the Biden administration …”
But unlike Democrats, the only color voters care about is green — and they’re not seeing much of it under the Biden-Harris administration. It doesn’t matter that Harris is a woman of color; what matters is whether Americans can afford groceries, electricity, transportation, and housing — and the answer is increasingly no.
