Fiery Kamala Harris uses combative Fox News interview to claim break from Joe Biden
The Democratic White House candidate tackled questions on immigration and said her presidency would not be a continuation of the incumbent’s
A combative Kamala Harris pledged a clean break from Joe Biden’s presidency in a feisty interview with right-wing Fox News aimed at reaching Republican voters wary of Donald Trump.
Harris clashed with interviewer Bret Baier on hot-button issues including immigration and gender transition surgery, with the Democratic nominee repeatedly asking “may I finish” when the host talked over her answers.
A key moment in the half-hour sit-down came as Harris was being pressed on comments she made last week – that Republicans have seized on – when she said she could not think of anything she would have done differently from Biden during his four years in office.
“My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” said Harris, 59, who became her party’s nominee after the ageing Biden dropped out in July.
Harris said she would bring “fresh and new ideas” and added: “I represent a new generation of leadership”.
