President Joe Biden promised his old running mate will chart her own legacy if elected during a campaign speech in Philadelphia, a contrast from his remarks just a few days prior.
“Every president has to cut their own path. That’s what I did,” Biden said. “I was loyal to Barack Obama, but I cut my own path as president. That’s what [Vice President] Kamala [Harris] is going to do. She’s been loyal so far, but she’s going to cut her own path.”
Harris has promised to represent a “new way forward” if she’s president, a message both Biden and herself have undercut in recent weeks.
During a surprise appearance in the White House press briefing room, Biden said he and Harris are “singing from the same song sheet.” Harris followed that up by saying on The View that “there’s not a thing that comes to mind” that she would do differently than Biden if she were in office.
Tuesday night, Biden appeared ready to reset the narrative toward Harris breaking out on her own.
“Kamala’s going to take the country in her own direction, and that’s one of the most important differences this election,” Biden said. “Kamala’s perspective on our problems are fresh and new. Donald Trump’s perspective is old and failed and, quite frankly, thoroughly and totally dishonest.”
