Democratic Strategist James Carville said Saturday that Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign could come down to her inability to differentiate herself from President Biden during an interview on “The View.”

“I think if this campaign comes down to one moment, we are in a country that is 65% on the wrong track. The country wants something different. And they have been asked, as is so often the case, in a friendly audience, on ‘The View, “How would you be different from Biden?” That’s the only question you’re supposed to answer, okay? And is the one everyone wants to know the answer to. you literally freeze! Well, I can’t think of anything,'” Carville saidspeaking to Tim Miller on “The Bulwark Podcast.”

Harris joined the co-hosts of “The View,” all of whom expressed repeated support for Harris during her campaign, during an interview in early October, and Hostin asked her if she would have done anything differently than the president over the past four years . Harris said she couldn’t think of anything she would have done differently.

“So we said 65% want something different, we’re just not going to give in to them, but maybe the obnoxiousness of Trump combined with the Dobbs decision, we can overcome it. Well, we don’t We haven’t overcome it But when we go back and the story finds that out, it’ll be right there in “The View.” Sunny accommodationasked a question, and it’s the most devastating answer imaginable,” Carville continued.

KAMALA HARRIS’S BAD RESPONSE ON “THE VIEW” ON BIDEN CONSIDERED A TURNING POINT FOR THE CAMPAIGN

During the interview on “The view”, Hostin also asked Harris what the biggest “specific” difference would be between a potential Harris presidency and a Biden presidency.

“We’re obviously two different people,” Harris said. “One of the issues I’m focused on is what we do with home health care.”

Much later in the interview, Harris also said she would appoint a Republican to her cabinet.

Before the election, Carville predicted that Harris would win because Trump is “a weirdo”“.

“She’s got more money, more energy, a more united party, better surrogates and he’s completely crazy,” Carville told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” when asked why he thought the vice president would be the winner.

Carville wasn’t alone in pointing to the interview as a pivotal moment for Harris’ campaign.

In a New York Times report As for how Trump won the race, that moment was seen as significant because the Trump campaign’s internal polling showed that Harris had, up to that point, effectively presented herself as an agent of change to voters.

The Times reported that Trump’s advisers “rejoiced” and were shocked that Harris did not have a ready answer to such an obvious question. The clip quickly found its place in national advertisements.
