"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party... to defeat Donald Trump... And together, we will win."

"This is a race Democrats can and must win."

"If the Democrats can be unified... then they have a good chance to win in November."

"I’d be very wary and a bit cautious on assuming that Trump is just going to sail to victory."

"Donald Trump’s hopes of claiming the White House just went from near certain to extremely uncertain" now Biden has dropped out.

"This kind of chaos this close to Election Day means Trump is going to win."

"It doesn’t matter whom the Democrats pick... Donald Trump will win in November."

"Donald Trump is now the de facto president."

"If the 2024 presidential election is a race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris then Trump will win, every time, and most likely win easily."

"Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been."

Who Will Win the 2024 US Presidential Election?

In her first interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Democratic presidential nominee and US Vice Pres. Kamala Harris claimed that her prospective administration would "not be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency."

During the interview, conducted by Fox News host Bret Baier, Harris stated that "like every new president" she would present "fresh and new ideas," as the nominee labeled herself as representing a "new generation of leadership."

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."

Earlier this month, Pres. Biden claimed at a press briefing that he was "singing from the same song sheet" as Harris, who he said had been "a major player" in his administration. He later claimed on Tuesday that Harris would "take the country in her own direction" if elected.

The 26-minute interview also covered the Biden administration's immigration policies, Iran, Biden's cognitive state, paying for transgender surgeries for prison inmates, and Donald Trump's recent comments about the potential use of military force against "the enemy within."

Earlier this month, Pres. Biden claimed at a press briefing that he was "singing from the same song sheet" as Harris, who had been "a major player in everything we've done."

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.

Poll: Newly popular Harris builds momentum, challenging Trump for the mantle of change

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.

Bret Baier is supposed to be Fox News' most objective and fair reporter, but this time around he chose to be combative rather than journalistic. Despite the fact that he peddled false Republican talking points, Harris remained focused on contrasting her positive vision for the future with Trump's public promises to target his political opponents. With polls showing this to be a tight race, exposing this contrast will only be in Harris' favor.
