Recently, she appeared on \u2064&#8221;The View&#8221; and &#8220;The Late Show\u200d with \u200cStephen Colbert,&#8221; where her responses \u2064to \u200bquestions about distinguishing her policies from \u2063President Joe\u2063 Biden&#8217;s were criticized as unconvincing. <\/p>\n<p>In her &#8220;The View&#8221; appearance, she claimed there was &#8220;not a thing that comes to mind&#8221; when asked what she would \u200bhave done differently\u2064 from \u2063Biden over the past four years. Later, on Colbert&#8217;s show, she referenced differentiating herself by stating, &#8220;I\u2019m obviously not Joe Biden,&#8221; while reiterating her usual policy points without\u200c substantial elaboration.<\/p>\n<p>During the interviews,\u2062 Harris mentioned her economic plans, including \u2064a \u2062proposal to \u200dsignificantly \u2062increase tax deductions for small \u200cbusinesses, but her explanations were viewed \u2064as unclear and contradictory, leading\u200c to skepticism about \u200dher policy approach. As the election nears, her campaign&#8217;s strategy of increased media engagement raises \u200cquestions, \u200cespecially \u2064given the perceived gaffes\u200d and \u2062lack of concrete responses in friendly settings. This trend could pose challenges for her campaign if it continues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris is increasing her media exposure with just a month to go before the general election.<\/p>\n<p>As one would expect, that means there are going to be a lot more viral clips of Harris stumbling through softball questions from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-cuomo-hosts-first-national-news-coverage-of-detransitioners\/\" title=\"Chris Cuomo Hosts First National News Coverage Of Detransitioners\">leftwing media outlets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday provided two of those moments as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-says-not-thing-done-differently-joe-biden-last-4-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris went on &lsquo;The View&rdquo;<\/a> while later appearing on &ldquo;The Late Show with Stephen Colbert&rdquo; where she asked twice about differentiating herself from President Joe Biden.

This has led to an increase in viral clips of her struggling to answer easy questions from liberal media. On Tuesday, she appeared on both &#8216;The View&#8217; and &#8216;The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,&#8217; where she was asked how she would distinguish herself from President Joe Biden. Her responses were notably poor; when asked by Sonny Hostin what she would have done differently during Biden&#8217;s presidency, Harris shockingly replied, &#8220;There is not a thing that comes to mind.&#8221; Later, when Colbert inquired about major changes under a potential Harris administration, she simply stated, &#8220;I\u2019m obviously not Joe Biden,&#8221; and added that she&#8217;s also &#8220;not Donald Trump.&#8221; The audience reacted enthusiastically as Harris fumbled for substantial answers and resorted to her usual talking points about loving the American people and their aspirations. She also mentioned her &#8220;opportunity economy&#8221; concept and discussed tax deductions for small businesses but seemed unclear about whether it was a tax cut or financial assistance for startups. Overall, her recent interviews can be summarized as vague promises of tax benefits while asserting that she wouldn&#8217;t change anything from Biden&#8217;s approach\u2014yet claiming she&#8217;s distinct from both him and Trump. With more interviews planned in the coming month, it&#8217;s uncertain if this strategy will help or hinder her campaign given these awkward moments<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2352558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ew-3.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3896,32320,32438,5894,33388],"class_list":["post-2352557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-debate","tag-joe-biden","tag-kamala-harris","tag-politics","tag-public-speaking"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ew-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2352557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2352558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2352557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2352557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2352557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
