When can Harris as VP begin to REALLY Flex HER Policy Going Forward….

Kamala Harris IS the Vice President of President Joe Biden….

Biden runs the show until Jan. 21, 2025….Four Months….

Harris IS sure to change things…..

Hmmmm?

“The challenge” of having so little time left in such a short race, one adviser to the vice president told CNN, is “when you’re trying to reach undecided low-intensity voters, how do you actually communicate difference with Biden?”

Running as an extension of the president is not a strong position, Harris aides know, while asserting what she stands for is.

Neither aides in the Harris campaign nor the Biden White House would commit to another joint campaign event between now and the election.

Harris wants to create space, top aides say, but not too much space. She wants to be loyal — but she also wants to win. She is still planning to lean on Biden, who is flying to Milwaukee on Tuesday for an event trumpeting more projects made possible by administration efforts, to buck up union members or to park himself in battleground Pennsylvania for political stops in the final weeks. But no one on the vice president’s team is upset that Biden is headed to spend a whole week of October overseas on a non-pressing diplomatic trip to Germany and Angola. Some wish he’d go away for longer.

Part of leading Democrats’ focus on Biden is seeing him as the albatross embodiment for the unsettling feeling spreading among Democrats that the vice president is not — or at least, not yet — where she needs to be to win in just over four weeks. Still haunted by the 2016 election, they’re frustrated and despairing that even now, seemingly no number of Donald Trump’s offensive statements, lies, lack of plans or legal problems can shake his support….

‘I am not Joe Biden’ vs. ‘a major player in everything we’ve done’

Internal Harris campaign research on the September presidential debate found that one of the most popular moments for the vice president was when she said, “Clearly, I am not Joe Biden.”

On Friday, after weeks of some junior White House aides complaining to colleagues about having to run statements and other ideas by the campaign, Biden took a different approach.

“She was a major player in everything we’ve done, including the passage of legislation which we were told we could never pass,” Biden said. “She’s been, and her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing.”

…

The president remains largely at peace with his decision to drop out of the race this summer — very aware that if Trump wins, his fears for the future of American democracy could be realized, and that his own legacy is on the line as the person who selected and then stepped aside for Harris.

A few weeks ago, Biden said that directly to Harris campaign leadership, noting that he supports her doing whatever she needs to do to win, a person familiar with the conversation told CNN.

Frustrations continue, though. In some corners of the West Wing and beyond, Biden allies can’t help noticing that Trump’s low-intensity schedule; rambling and sometimes stumbling speeches; and frequently misremembered stories don’t get turned on him as evidence of disqualifying incompetence, as happened to Biden in the spring.

Even into recent days, people who have spoken with close Biden advisers told CNN they have heard complaints that the president would be in the same spot or better right now had he stayed in the race.

Several leading Democratic operatives and officials laughed out loud when told by CNN about that sentiment, with one veteran consultant saying, “That’s literally insane.”

A Biden senior adviser told CNN that this is by no means the pervasive feeling in the White House.

The president is not prickly or precious about any breaks Harris does make with him, the adviser said, arguing that he also keeps saying there’s more work to do.

“The president is all in to help get the vice president elected,” the senior adviser said. “He has and will continue to travel to battleground states on her behalf to talk about what he’s experienced with the vice president as a governing partner.”….
