A top spokesman for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign laid bare her strategy for dealing with her and President Joe Biden’s record: Just win, baby.
“We don’t have time to sit around and think about why, over the last few years, certain things may have happened or may not have happened,” Ian Sams, who was previously an attack dog for Biden, told CNN on Thursday morning. “We’ve got to go win an election.”
Sams had been laying out Harris’s plans and contrasting them with those of former President Donald Trump, her Republican opponent. He said more than once what Harris was proposing was “new” and “really different.”
“It’s really different. OK,” CNN’s Kasie Hunt pressed him at one point. “Can you — wait, can you tell me what is really different? I got the capital gains rate, but what else on the list makes it really different from what was going on the past few years?”
Hunt tried again. “But she’s been part of the Biden administration,” she said of Harris. “I mean she has been part of the Democratic — Democrats have been in control of the country for the last three going on four years, and you are still seeing this [economic anxiety] in the polling.”
In fact, Democrats have held the White House for 12 of the last 16 years. They have controlled at least one house of Congress for half of Trump’s term and all of Biden’s.
