Harris wants a clean break from Biden's often-backward-looking lens on democracy and other issues.
Harris, a California native who came up through Golden State politics, wants to carve out her own innovation agenda and will brand it with a generic, look-ahead spin: "Win the future."
She wants to break with Biden on issues on which he's unpopular. First up: rising prices. This is part of a highly choreographed effort to define herself — in some cases, redefine herself.
Harris has said at rallies that fighting inflation will be a Day 1 priority, and that strengthening the middle class would be a defining goal of her presidency.
She often says prices are too high. Biden has taken on shrinkflation and hidden "junk fees" that plague consumers and travelers.
Just this week, the White House unveiled plans to "Lower Costs for Families and Fight Corporate Rip-Offs."

Does Kamala Harris know she is the incumbent Vice President?
@ThirdPartyTimDemocrat2yrs2Y
Vice Presidents don’t have the power you seem to think they do.
See 1/6/21 for reference.
@RightW1ngKangarooGreen2yrs2Y
She cast the deciding vote of the inflation reduction act. She owns inflation
@Koala1965Green2yrs2Y
Rice has told us that Harris is the architect of Biden’s policies. So she had more pull and involvement that she’s like people to know
She has literally no idea how to lower prices. In fact, her vote was the catalyst to larger inflation to begin with. It's not like a dem is gonna stop spending like they just won the lottery. It's all they know how to do.
So she’s going to flip her positions saying she learned from her stint with Biden that her positions were wrong, while also throwing Biden under the bus for his actual bad policies? That won’t work.

She needs to position herself as a change agent and she should take the reigns and articulate her own aggressive plan for the economy that will benefit the middle class and give everyone hope for their futures.
