President Joe Biden acknowledged Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t act as a carbon copy of his own administration, tacitly nodding to a key challenge his vice president faces as she enters the final sprint of her campaign: How to distinguish herself from his record.
Delivered during what has become a rare campaign stop for the incumbent, Biden said Harris’ loyalty to him up to now doesn’t mean she won’t forge her own way going ahead. “Every president has to cut their own path. That’s what I did. I was loyal to Barack Obama, but I cut my own path as president. That’s what Kamala is going to do,” Biden said at Democratic Party dinner at a union banquet hall in Philadelphia on Tuesday. “She’s been loyal so far, but she’s gonna cut her own path.
“There is some inherent value to him being president and doing the work in places like Georgia and North Carolina,” a source close to the campaign said. While Harris can rely on a constellation of high-profile surrogates, one Democrat close to the campaign noted, only one person can be president. Biden isn’t the first incumbent forced to find a balance between campaigning for a would-be successor and fulfilling the duties of office. President George W. Bush wasn’t a frequent presence for Sen.
