    Welp, that’s on me for over-estimating American voters in 2025…

    I should not have done that, that’s my bad.

    Vice President Kamala Harris was asked by the co-hosts of The View on Tuesday whether she would have done anything differently than President Biden, responding “not a thing comes to mind,” before coming back to the question and adding that she plans to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if she is elected in November.

    “I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet,” Harris said. “I feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea.”

    “You asked me what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me, well that will be one of the differences,” she added

    Now, she does say she’d have a Republican in the cabinet and that makes her different…

    But Biden went as far as saying he was considering a Republican as VP…

    While campaigning in New Hampshire, Biden said that while he couldn’t think of a specific Republican off the top of his head, there are “some really decent Republicans” but the more “well-known” members of the GOP need to “step up” against President Donald Trump.

    So I don’t see much of a difference between the two claims
