WASHINGTON — In a combative interview with Fox News, Kamala Harris said in the most emphatic terms to date that, if she wins the election, she would pursue an independent presidency that would not be a repeat of President Joe Biden’s nearly four years in office.
“My presidency would not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” Harris told interviewer Bret Baier, an anchor with Fox News. “And like every new president that comes to office, I will bring my life experiences and professional experiences” to the job. “I represent a new generation of leadership.”
Harris’s declaration comes after she faced criticism over her recent interview on ABC’s “The View,” in which she could not identify any policy differences she’s had with Biden since serving as his vice president.
Given Biden’s unpopularity in public opinion polls, Harris’s answer drew criticism that her tenure would be merely a Biden sequel.
