Harris says it is part of the American tradition for VPs not to criticize the president

45. Nope--media wants a sound bite

Media is only asking that question for a headline to stir up drama. Do you truly think the media would take any answer Kamala made and report it in any responsible way that focused on the substance of her answer? No! The headlines would be completely focused on:

“Kamala Harris in disagreement with Biden’s xyz policy. Is this a sign of tension in the WH?” (To be followed by breathless speculation of conflicts between Kamala and Biden)

Or

“Kamala Harris states she is not in disagreement with Biden’s policies, does she have any of her own or would a Harris Presidency be a continuation of a Biden presidency, who remains widely unpopular”

The only answer is EXACTLY the answer Kamala gave. Basically that she is going to follow the tradition of a VP not criticizing her President, who she is a partner with. Doesn’t give press the distraction they want so badly want.
