“My presidency will not be a continuation of Biden’s”

This Thursday morning, Kamala Harris faced her most uncomfortable interview of the entire campaign on Donald Trump’s media bastion, the conservative network Fox News. Three weeks before the election, Democrats have entered the lion’s den to try to quell Republican criticism of the lack of interviews he has given since becoming the nominee and to reach out to undecided Republican voters. Harris assured journalist Brett Baer, ​​”My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Bean.”

Harris said, “Like every new president who comes to the Oval Office, I will bring my life experience, my professional experience and new ideas; “I represent a new generation of leadership who have not spent their entire careers in Washington.” The vice president, who spent a large part of his career in California as attorney general, has tried to distance himself from the idea that the Democratic Party embodies the “Washington elite” that Trump and his deputy J.D. Vance rail against. Intend to fight. ,

Never before has Harris distanced herself from Joe Biden’s presidency as much as she has tonight. Although his campaign is based on portraying himself as the party of change, he has always been proud of the legacy of the Biden administration. This turn is not only meant to get closer to Republican voters but also to fend off attacks from the Republican Party, which misses how Harris has three and a half years in the vice presidency to promote her current election promises.

While he has tried to distance himself further from Biden, that doesn’t mean he has abandoned him. When Breyer asked him about the president’s health and whether he had “any concerns” about him before he resigned, the vice president reminded him that Biden “is no longer on the electoral ticket, Trump is.” ”

“I think Americans are concerned about Donald Trump, including the people who know him best, including the leaders of our National Security Service who have spoken out about it. Even people who worked for him in the Oval Office and were with him in the crisis room have said that he is not ready for the presidency, that he is dangerous and should not be president again. That includes his vice president, which is why the position is now vacant to choose a new running mate,” Harris said after the tug-of-war with Beyer. A dynamic that has marked the dynamics of the conversation.

Bayer also revealed the names of women whom Trump often cites at his rallies as victims of undocumented immigrants. The names are also frequently mentioned in Fox News programming, which provides extensive coverage of everything happening at the border. “I’m very sorry for your loss, but let’s talk about what’s happening right now,” responded Harris, who immediately redirected the Republican blockade that the border bill faced: “If the text nine years Had it been passed earlier, it would have been nine months, we would have had more agents at the border to make sure there was no future damage.”

Harris also wanted to clarify that she is not in favor of decriminalizing irregular border crossings with Mexico. “I do not believe in decriminalizing cross-border infiltration. I have not done this as Vice President. And I won’t do that as president,” she said.

The interview on the Fox network is part of the Harris campaign’s strategy to make inroads among Republicans who are undecided or who disagree with Trump. Before the sit-down with Baier, Democrats held a rally in Bucks County (Pennsylvania), where more than 100 Republicans attended the event, including former congressman and member of the committee investigating the September 6 attack Adam Kinzinger. were also included. US Capitol.

“No matter what your party, no matter who you voted for last time, there is a place for all of you in this campaign,” the Vice President said. Pennsylvania is one of seven key states at stake on November 5 that will have the final say on who sits in the Oval Office. It’s important to consider that Harris is making more efforts to reach out to more conservative voters. It is struggling with a standoff between two important groups of voters: black men and Latinos. Although Harris has still managed to garner majority support within these groups, Trump has managed to exert influence. Especially among Latinos.
