Vice President Kamala Harris poses with co-hosts of" The View " on Oct. 8. A question from Sunny Hostin appeared to catch her off guard.Vice President Kamala Harris ’ biggest mistake of the 2024 campaign may have come in some of the friendliest territory she visited.
The answer baffled Democratic strategists at the time and continues to do so now. While Harris faced a uniquely challenging political environment ― voters’ anger about inflation and hunger for change might have been insurmountable regardless of what she did ― her failure to more clearly separate herself from Biden, embodied by her response on “The View,” stands out as a key and obvious misstep, according to many Democrats.
The Harris campaign did not respond to HuffPost’s inquiry about how she positioned herself vis-a-vis Biden. Democrats critical of how Harris handled “The View” question were as dismayed by Harris’ apparent lack of preparedness for the line of inquiry as they were by the substance of the answer itself., believes Harris’ failure to convey a coherent and compelling economic message for working-class voters was a much bigger problem than her inability to create adequate space from Biden.
Moderate Harris supporters like Bill Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” argued before Election Day that Harris should have used questions like the one on “The View” as an opportunity to distance herself from unpopular administration policies, like the response to the millions of asylum seekers crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in 2022 and 2023.generally did a good job, but sure, I wish we tightened the border sooner, as we have done now.
