The New Republic revealed that part of Kamala Harris’s “Issues” section copied and pasted directly from Joe Biden’s campaign page.
The Harris campaign is only now, belatedly, realizing that this is a problem. On Sunday, they finally added an “Issues” section to her website. It includes a slew of policies that the campaign has previously outlined, as well as sections on reproductive and civil rights. Unfortunately for Harris, its release was undermined by a simple but telling error: The page’s source code revealed that parts of the platform were copied directly from Biden’s campaign page.
It looks like the Harris campaign deleted it.
My best friend pointed out that recycling a website is normal. But TNR made an important point:
This is dangerous territory for Harris, given that the Times poll found that more than 60 percent of voters wanted the next president to represent a “major change” from Biden—and only a quarter felt that Harris represented that change. That makes sense, given that she’s his vice president! But it means she should be working overtime to distinguish herself from her boss. Instead, she’s doing precisely the opposite. Unwilling to break publicly with Biden—to criticize his handling of say, inflation, immigration, or Israel—she has simply positioned herself as a younger version of him. Whether that’s intentional on her part or the result of her campaign being run largely by the same people who ran Biden’s disastrous reelection bid is unclear.
People are delusional to think that she’s different than Biden. She’s his vice president. The only difference would be Harris is farther left on everything than Biden.
Then again, we all know Biden hasn’t been in charge the past four years so are his views really his views? Probably not. Did he choose Harris as his running mate? Probably not.
The man behind the curtain.
