Critics of Vice President Kamala Harris said she damned her campaign by telling “The View” she couldn’t think of anything she would have done differently from President Biden.
The Biden presidency has been consistently dogged by crises ranging from domestic issues like inflation and chaos at the border, to international scandals like the disastrously managed withdrawal from Afghanistan. As Harris has tried to prove to the American people that she would be a competent president, many have argued that her connection with Biden’s unpopularity is a liability for her election prospects.
As Harris spoke to co-hosts of “The View” on Tuesday, she was asked by co-host Sunny Hostin, “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?”
Harris responded, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.
The Trump-Vance campaign jumped on the response.
“Kamala Harris is more of the same,” Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, wrote. “She admits it herself.
Many conservatives on social media expressed joy and disbelief that Harris chose to hitch her reputation to the embattled president, with some arguing she is helping her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
OutKick’s Riley Gaines suggested, “She’s done more to elect Trump than she has to elect herself.”
“Oh my goodness,” Fox News’ Guy Benson responded to the clip, later joking it would make an excellent campaign ad for Trump, “’I’m Donald Trump and I approve this message.’”
This will be the nail in Kamala Harris’s coffin,” The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis predicted.
“It reminds me of John Kerry’s ‘I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it’ comment about Iraq war funding when he was fighting charges of being a spineless flip-flopper,” he added. “That single comment ended his campaign.
Political strategist Chris Barron argued Harris’ comment would sink her chances at the White House, “Say good night to Kamala’s campaign.”
