Now, in a tight race against Trump, she is being forced to reassess how she talks about her boss and how she might strike out on her own should she win the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The first Black and South Asian woman to be a major party presidential nominee, Harris was 9 years old when Biden was elected to the Senate and was in law school when Trump, then a real estate heir and socialite, published \u201cThe Art of the Deal.\u201d Harris, her campaign believes, embodies change. Yet, she still may need to find a better way to talk about it.<\/p>\n<p>According to aides, Harris is deeply loyal to Biden and resistant to publicly doing anything that could be construed as criticizing his presidency, though his favorability ratings remain underwater. In private, some question what she should break with Biden on \u2014 noting the popularity of some of the biggest pieces of his legislative agenda, from infrastructure to lowering the costs of some prescription drugs, and the recklessness of signaling any daylight with the president on foreign policy at a time of global crises.<\/p>\n<p>Harris was a central partner to Biden throughout, and they worry a break now could be viewed as preelection opportunism.<\/p>\n<p>Views of Biden are still more negative than positive, even after he <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-drops-out-2024-election-ddffde72838370032bdcff946cfc2ce6\">withdrew as the Democratic nominee<\/a><\/span> in July. About 4 in 10 Americans had a somewhat or very favorable view of Biden in an AP-NORC poll conducted in September, and 55% had an unfavorable view, which is consistent with where his favorability ratings have stood for the past two years. Feelings toward Harris, meanwhile, were warmer &#8212; half of Americans had a favorable opinion of her, while 44% had an unfavorable opinion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her pledge to put a Republican in her Cabinet, Harris has introduced some policies distinct from Biden \u2014 including calling for a smaller hike to the capital gains tax than advocated for by the president. But they have been modest, and Biden\u2019s White House, in turn, has quickly signed on to her positions.<\/p>\n<p>Trump seized on her comments that she couldn\u2019t think of any decision by Biden that she would change, playing a clip of \u201cThe View\u201d appearance at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday to roars from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer answer that she would do nothing different is disqualifying,\u201d he said in Reading.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

And in 1988, President Ronald Reagan, then 78, did not campaign aggressively for his vice president and eventual successor, George H.W. Bush.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVice presidents have always struggled with how to separate themselves from incumbent presidents,\u201d said Republican strategist Alex Conant. \u201cIt\u2019s why so few of them win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer talking point that she\u2019s \u2018not Joe Biden\u2019 is a good quip, but not a good message,\u201d Conant added, saying, \u201cShe should be able to point to three things at the ready that she\u2019d do differently.\u201d Instead, he said, Harris \u201cdelivered Trump\u2019s message better than Trump does himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other Democrats see little reason for Harris to make explicit policy breaks from Biden. Her presence at the top of the ticket resolves what had been the biggest Democratic vulnerability in November \u2014 Biden\u2019s age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no question that the campaign understands the imperative for her to be an agent of change,\u201d said Eric Schultz, a Democratic operative and a former Obama spokesperson. \u201cThat is why \u2018a new way forward\u2019 is a smart frame, and it\u2019s also why she has made clear that her election would represent generational change. That is, of course, a contrast with her 78-year-old opponent, but it\u2019s also a signal that her entire orientation will be future and forward looking.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Associated Press writers Chris Megerian and Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux in Washington contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kamala-harris-biden-legacy-question-83f3d9128ff9e916ff5832e269da1f1e\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 With less than four weeks until Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris is facing new urgency to define how her potential presidency would be different from that &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=112631\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=112631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112631\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=112631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=112631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=112631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
