President Joe Biden recently announced that he has entrusted Vice President Kamala Harris with all duties, encompassing both foreign and domestic policy matters.
The announcement seemingly conflicts with Harris’ recent efforts to distance herself from the Biden-Harris administration’s record as she has pushed new proposals.
“My approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment. And also, to be very honest with you, my focus is very much in what we need to do over the next ten, twenty years to catch up to the twenty first century,” Harris recently stated.
“I’m obviously not Joe Biden, and you know, I offer a new generation of leadership,” she said.
Despite the delegation, Biden implied that Harris is partly responsible for failures in areas such as inflation, border security, and the widely-criticized withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy,” Biden said.
Polls have revealed that many voters feel they are worse off now than under former President Trump. Such data has further complicated Harris’ ability to campaign effectively without undermining the administration’s policies.
