According to Mitch Landrieu,\u200d Harris&#8217;s main distinction from Biden is her identity as\u2062 a woman of color, indicative of a \u2064new generation. However, many voters\u200c prioritize economic factors over identity politics,\u2064 as rising costs of\u200b basic goods under the Biden-Harris administration have left Americans struggling to afford essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Data indicates that consumers faced \u2063significant price increases\u2062 across various categories from September 2023 to September 2024, showing more \u200bthan a\u200b 20% rise in essential goods and \u200cservices since Biden and Harris took office. Despite criticisms over these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-caught-lying-about-buy-american-plagiarizing-president-trump\/\" title=\"Biden caught lying about \u2018Buy American\u2019, plagiarizing President Trump\">economic policies<\/a>, Harris has expressed\u2063 pride in their administration\u2019s work. Recently,\u2064 she\u200d acknowledged her alignment with Biden&#8217;s decisions and responsibilities, although she later attempted to clarify her unique position \u200dduring a\u200c television appearance. \u2063Harris&#8217;s connection to the Biden administration, alongside\u200c ongoing economic dissatisfaction, may hinder \u200bher prospects for\u2064 change in the upcoming election.  <\/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<div>\n<p>Back in September, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/09\/08\/us\/politics\/times-siena-poll-toplines.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York Times\/Siena College poll<\/a> found that 95 percent of registered voters want a candidate who represents a change from President Joe Biden. But that could mean bad news for Vice President Kamala Harris, because apparently the main difference between her and Biden is that she is a woman of color, according to Mitch Landrieu, a national co-chair for the Harris-Walz campaign.<\/p>\n<p>CNN&rsquo;s John Berman asked Landrieu on Thursday to weigh in on how Harris differs from her boss. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Vice President Harris has been asked repeatedly how she&rsquo;s different than President Biden, and some people think she&rsquo;s been tripped up by answering that,&rdquo; Berman said. &ldquo;How do you think she is different than President Biden?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well first of all, whatever the difference is between them, it&rsquo;s not nearly as vast as the difference between her and Donald Trump. She&rsquo;s obviously a woman, she is a woman of color, and she is of a new generation. &hellip; So she is, she is not Joe Biden, as much as they want to try to make her Joe Biden. But she was and is part of the Biden administration &hellip;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But unlike Democrats, the only color voters care about is green &mdash; and they&rsquo;re not seeing much of it under the Biden-Harris administration. It doesn&rsquo;t matter that Harris is a woman of color; what matters is whether Americans can afford groceries, electricity, transportation, and housing &mdash; and the answer is increasingly no.<\/p>\n<p>New <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/10\/as-inflation-rears-its-ugly-head-again-election-meddling-media-go-to-bat-for-biden-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data<\/a> from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics&rsquo; shows consumers paid 1.3 percent more for groceries, 3.9 percent more for food away from home, 3.7 percent more for electricity, 4.9 percent more for shelter, and 8.5 percent more for transportation in September of 2024 than they did in September of 2023.

With voters souring on the leadership of Biden (as highlighted by the NYT\/Siena poll), Harris knows she has to distance herself from the leadership of the president.  <\/p>\n<p>The only problem? She was leading right alongside him. <\/p>\n<p>Biden himself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-says-he-kamala-harris-singing-from-same-song-sheet-she-tries-distancing-herself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has made clear<\/a> he and Harris are &ldquo;singing from the same song sheet.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She helped pass all the laws that are being employed,&rdquo; Biden said during a recent (and rare) surprise appearance at a White House briefing where he was asked whether Harris is involved in policy decisions. &ldquo;Now, she was a major player in everything we&rsquo;ve done, including passage of legislation which we were told we could never pass. And so she&rsquo;s been, and her, her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we&rsquo;re doing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Take it straight from the horse&rsquo;s mouth: Harris is Biden (just in the female, non-white sense, according to Landrieu). <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
