Former Vice President Kamala Harris discussed navigating the challenge of differentiating herself from Joe Biden while respecting him during her 2024 presidential run.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly said Thursday she didn’t want to be part of a «piling on» against President Joe Biden when pressed about the dynamic of running to replace her boss in the 2024 campaign.
During her appearance on «The Late Show with Stephen Colbert», the host noted that he and others wondered how Harris would be different from Biden, who was forced to drop off the Democratic ticket due to his unpopularity and inability to recover from his catastrophic debate with Donald Trump.
«That must have been difficult, because you have to differentiate yourself as a candidate, and yet you respect this man who you’re still working for at the same time», Colbert said. «What was that like to navigate?»
«I talk about that extensively in the book», Harris said, referencing her newly announced election memoir «107 Days», which refers to the length of her abbreviated campaign. «You’re raising something that you and I both know requires a lot more time than we probably have right now to talk about.
