Will Kamala Harris' Fox News Gamble Pay Off?
NewsweekOCT 20 2024
In her first interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Democratic nominee Vice Pres. Kamala Harris claimed that her prospective administration would "not be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency."
Harris stated that "like every new president" she would present "fresh and new ideas," as the nominee labelled herself as representing a "new generation of leadership."
Harris's comments came after Fox played an interview extract from last week where the Vice President claimed that there was "not a thing that comes to mind" having been "a part of most of the decisions that have had impact" when asked what she would have changed from the current Biden administration.
Polling shows that the American people view Harris as not only the stronger change candidate than Trump but also more likely to get America back in the right direction. Alongside emerging reports of tension between the Harris and Biden teams, it is clear to the public that the Vice President is not a continuity candidate and will forging her own path to the Presidency.
Harris's painful interview with Fox is a reminder to all Americans that, despite the best attempts of Democrats, the last three and a half years cannot be forgotten. Unable to provide any substance to why her administration would be any different and still incapable of acknowledging Biden's mental decline, it would be foolish to believe that the White House would be any better under Kamala Harris.
