A senior Harris campaign adviser confirmed that Vice President Kamala Harris was loyal to President Joe Biden and didn’t want to distance herself from his policies on the campaign trail.

“She wasn’t willing to, you know, change that precedent for whoever the future president-vice presidential partnership would be because it would mean a whole, you know, different set of problems as if we don’t have enough problems in our democracy right now,” said Stephanie Cutter, a Harris-Walz campaign senior adviser, on Pod Save America. “So unless we were willing to say, you know, Biden said green, and she said blue on any particular issue, we’re never really going to satisfy that.”
