Kamala Harris tries to distance herself from Biden in yet another policy flip-flop: 'Everything about her campaign is fake' | 14 Aug 2024 | Kamala Harris is furiously trying to "distance" herself from Joe Biden's record -- while also disavowing the far-left policies she heartily embraced just a few years ago. The result is a campaign run entirely on style over substance since Harris took the Democratic mantle from Biden last month. And Democratic campaign operatives warn that she risks voters catching on -- and realizing she's selling only cynical political opportunism. "It’s a marketing strategy that is TV-esque," one senior Democratic aide said. "With such a short timeline now, policy matters less than personality."
