Vice President Kamala Harris, when asked again in an interview Tuesday how she would be different from President Joe Biden, offered a word salad on the "significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like." Earlier that day, Harris said she would not have done anything differently than Biden.
"I'm obviously not Joe Biden. But it's important to say with 28 days to go, I'm not Donald Trump," Harris said on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show Tuesday evening, responding to the question of what "major changes" she'd make from the Biden presidency. "When we think about the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like were I to be elected president. It's about, frankly, I love the American people. I believe in our country. … I just believe that we can create and build upon the success we achieved in a way to continue to grow opportunity," she said.
Colbert asks: "Under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be and what would stay the same?"
Harris: "Sure. Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden. So that would be one change. But also I think it's important to say with 28 days to go, I'm not Donald Trump." pic.twitter.com/hShW96CFGY

Earlier on Tuesday, Sunny Hostin on The View asked Harris if she would have "done something differently than President Biden."
"There is not a thing that comes to mind," Harris responded. The Democratic presidential nominee added that she had "been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact" during Biden’s tenure.

Since replacing her boss at the top of the Democratic ticket, Harris has attempted to present herself as the "candidate of change" and distance her campaign from the failures of the Biden administration, as 65 percent of voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
