When Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, voters wondered how her eventual campaign platform would differ from the policies of the Biden administration, if at all.
This week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the issue by declaring that both the president and vice president are on the same political page.
According to the New York Post:
The White House said Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has so far had “no daylight” with President Biden’s policies in their three years serving together, and that going forward, Harris would “build” on their shared “success.”
“What I can speak to is the last three and a half years. We have less than six months now of this administration and how much the vice president was a critical partner in getting the big pieces, historic pieces, done. The heavy lifting,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a press briefing.
“She’s going to lay out her vision. But again, they’ve been aligned. You know? They’ve been aligned for the past three and a half years. There’s not been any daylight.”
The confirmation sparked significant discussion
