President Joe Biden refused to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to establish “daylight” between his policies and hers when she succeeded him as the Democratic presidential nominee last summer, an insistence that hamstrung her campaign and ultimately contributed to her defeat to Donald Trump at the polls, a new book alleges.
An excerpt from the forthcoming Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, published by The Hill, emphasizes that both Harris and Trump “understood the importance of being seen as the bigger change agent” due to the unpopularity of the Biden administration.
