Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday that she cannot be “critical” of any policies put forth by President Joe Biden when asked to name what she would do differently if elected.
NBC News chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander asked Harris to name a single policy she would have done differently than Biden. Harris responded that she cannot have a “productive and important relationship” with Biden if she criticizes any of his policies.

“President Biden said this week that every president has to cut their own path, what is one policy that you would have done differently over these last three-and-a-half years from President Joe Biden?” Alexander asked.
‘I need to be very candid with you, even including Mike Pence, vice presidents are not critical of their presidents,” Harris replied. “I think that really actually, in terms of the tradition of it and also just going forward, it does not make for a productive and important relationship … Going forward, there is no question that I’d bring my own experiences and my own life experiences.”

Harris said she intends to expand Medicare, grant first-time home buyers $25,000 in down payment assistance and emphasize the importance of small business. She said these policies stem from her “own personal experiences” throughout her life and assured she will be part of the “new generation of leadership.”

The vice president announced her plan in August to levy a federal ban on so-called “price gouging” on groceries, which has received pushback over accusations that it amounts to price fixing.
Harris told “The View” co-hosts that “nothing comes to mind” on what she would have done differently from Biden despite her attempt to rebrand herself as a change candidate, particularly on the economy. An average of 28% of Americans believe the U.S. is on the right track, spelling trouble for Democrats going into the election in November due to historical trends, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said during an Oct. 4 segment.
