During a Tuesday appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Vice President Kamala Harris admitted that there is “not a thing” that she would have done differently from President Joe Biden — despite repeatedly insisting that her campaign is very different from Biden’s.
The conversation began when co-host Sunny Hostin cited Biden’s last appearance on “The View,” pointing out that he had effectively delegated everything to Kamala Harris. Biden said at the time: “As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.”
Biden’s statement prompted many to question whether he was trying to sabotage Harris’ campaign as payback for helping push him out of the race, as his comment destroyed her efforts to distance herself from the failures of the Biden-Harris administration.

Citing Biden’s comments, Hostin said: “As Vice President you worked closely with President Biden for almost four years. He was here on our show and he said there wasn’t a single thing that he did that you could not do. What do you think would be the biggest specific difference between your presidency and a Biden presidency?”
Harris responded with a non-answer, stating: “We’re two different people but we have a lot of shared life experiences, for example, the way we fell about our family and parents and so on, but we’re also different people. I will bring those sensibilities to how I lead.”
Hostin then pressed the issue, as it was clear that her initial question was supposed to be about policy, not “family.”
The co-host asked: “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?”
Shockingly, Harris was apparently not prepared to answer this question. While she has a history of being terrible at responding to unscripted questions, she should have at least been prepared to answer something this important — since she has spent months insisting that she and Biden were very different on policy.
Harris stated: “There is not a thing that comes to mind. And I’ve been part of most of the decisions that have had impact. The work that we have done, for example, capping the cost of insulin at $35 for our seniors something I care deeply about, allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and bring the cost of prescription medication down for seniors, but my intention is to expand that for Americans. The work we have done to invest in American industries, whether it be in terms of manufacturing and creating 800,000 new jobs around manufacturing. Those were all a shared priority.”

Of course, the Trump campaign seized on these remarks on social media — with Trump declaring it to be Harris’ “dumbest answer so far.”
“Lyin’ Kamala, who is being exposed as a ‘dummy’ every time she does a show, just stated to the degenerates on The View that she would have done nothing different than Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES,” Trump wrote in a post on X. “The Lamestream Media doesn’t want to pick up the story, the dumb women on the show wish they never asked her the question that led to that Election Defying answer, but the Internet is going WILD. For starters, THE BORDER DISASTER, WITH MURDERERS AND EVERYONE ELSE BEING ALLOWED TO INVADE OUR COUNTRY, WORST INFLATION IN HISTORY, THE UKRAINE DISASTER, OCTOBER 7TH WITH ISRAEL, LOSS OF ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, THE AFGHANISTAN DEBACLE, LOSS OF RESPECT ALL OVER THE GLOBE, AND MUCH MORE! Her dumbest answer so far!”
