  • 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.This came after a separate interview Harris gave last week, during which she was asked if she would have changed anything from the current Biden administration, to which she said there was "not a thing that comes to mind."


The Spin

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.
