She later mentioned expanding Medicare to cover home healthcare for seniors and cracking down on &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-price-gouging-ban-merely-a-rhetorical-ploy-on-voters-sarah-bedford-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Harris \u2018price gouging\u2019 ban merely a \u2018rhetorical ploy\u2019 on voters: Sarah Bedford - Washington Examiner\">price gouging&#038;rdquo<\/a>; that she blames for inflation.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s about a new approach, a new generation of leadership based on new ideas and, frankly, different experiences,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has been faced with an &ldquo;awkward&rdquo; scenario of having to &ldquo;navigate the fact that swing voters don&rsquo;t approve of Joe Biden&rsquo;s presidency,&rdquo; said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon. But he views her tactic of largely focusing on her contrast with Trump as the best approach. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is a slippery bridge she has to cross,&rdquo; Bannon said. &ldquo;But at this point, I think it&rsquo;s more important to focus on the differences between her and Trump than it is on the differences between her and Biden because it&rsquo;s getting to the point &hellip; it&rsquo;s all about turnout, not outreach.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harris has also embraced certain Biden strategies, such as leaning heavily into Trump as a &ldquo;threat to democracy&rdquo; and labeling him a fascist, as well as walking a fine line on Israel&rsquo;s war in Gaza. She&rsquo;s reaffirmed U.S. support for the ally but has sought to appeal slightly more to frustrated progressives who accuse American foreign policy of enabling Israel to commit genocide against Palestinians. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, Harris has tried to dodge answering how she would diverge from Biden or which of his policies, if any, she takes issue with.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their presidents,&rdquo; she recently told NBC News. &ldquo;It does not make for a productive and important relationship.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1844617\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1844617\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harris positions herself as a &#8220;change&#8221; candidate but lacks specifics on how her policies differ from Biden&#8217;s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3108,"featured_media":2359414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harris-biden-2.0.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[43702,4021,3634],"class_list":["post-2359413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-2-0","tag-harris","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harris-biden-2.0.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2359413","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\/3108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2359413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2359413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2359414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2359413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2359413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2359413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
