Harris initially said that “not a thing comes to mind” that she would have done anything differently than Biden. But then she went on to elaborate.
“Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my Cabinet,” Harris elaborated. “You ask me what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me, well that will be one of the differences.”
Then, she appeared to take a jab at Biden, adding, “I don’t feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea.”
I’d heard the “not a thing” but this is the first I’m hearing she’s committing to a Republican in her Cabinent…
That’s just fucking insane
There are only two cabinet-level positions that don’t require Senate approval. One is already occupied by Tim Walz and the other is WH Chief of Staff, which I very much doubt would be the position Harris has in mind.
If no Democrat uses the filibuster to block this, the filibuster has no purpose but to block progressive legislation.
It’ll be Cheney or Kinzinger.
Jesus, I wish it was obvious if you meant Dick or Liz…
But Hillary and Biden have drug the Dem party so far right both Cheney’s have endorsed Harris, and I really wouldn’t be surprised
She said it at least a few weeks ago. I think it made headlines for like half a day and then Trump said some absolutely crazy shit again so everyone collectively forgot what Harris was doing.
As memory serves, she had been asked in an interview if she would, and she gave a somewhat vaguely-worded answer, that she wouldn’t rule it out.
Of course she is, their entire goal since Bill Clinton has to become the dominant party for conservatives.
Yeah, bad answer, but this close to the election she can’t say anything too decisive for fear of alienating undecideds.
A lot of people planning not to vote aren’t doing it because the Dem party isn’t to the right enough, it’s that they’re too far to the right in the first place.
If that wasn’t true, Republicans would bolster a 3rd party just to the right of the Dems to syphon off votes instead of a “far left” party. Or they’d at least move back to the center to fight for those mythic middle ground “undecideds”.
Instead they’ve never stopped sprinting right and gained votes overall because they’re embracing their actual extremists.
Meanwhile Dems can’t get a candidate that wants M4A or one that’s against Trump’s border wall.
Crossing those lines costs the Dem.party votes. More than we’re gaining.
Prediction: she’s going to make a new cabinet-level office for combating misaligned AIs, and put Arnold Schwarzenegger in charge.
Unless you’re a centrist or a republican. Or Netanyahu.

What is everyone having for breakfast today? I’m thinking about having a toasted bagel wth peanut butter.
During Kamala Harris’s Tuesday appearance on The View, the vice president was asked what her biggest difference with President Joe Biden is—and she gave a surprising answer: She plans to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet.
Harris initially said that “not a thing comes to mind” that she would have done anything differently than Biden. But then she went on to elaborate.
“Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my Cabinet,” Harris elaborated. “You ask me what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me, well that will be one of the differences.”
