Harris softens Biden's dark warnings about the state of democracy for a more 'joyful' message
Harris is focusing on the "care economy" and how she would help make providing for children and the elderly more affordable.
WASHINGTON — Gone are Joe Biden’s dark warnings about the life-and-death stakes for American democracy.
Instead, Kamala Harris talks animatedly about protecting abortion rights and capping drug costs, lowering inflation and boosting the middle class.
Whereas Biden dwelled on the MAGA movement's threat to democracy, Harris is delivering a sunnier vision of a nation made up of "neighbors, not enemies."
Less than three weeks after Biden pulled out of the presidential race, his successor is in the early stages of retooling his campaign message, making it her own.
Harris is differentiating herself from Biden, amplifying positions that reflect her own priorities and commitment to running what she calls a "joyful" campaign. She expects to roll out more defined plans for what she’d do at the start of a presidential term, giving voters a clearer picture of how she would govern, people close to her said.
