WASHINGTON — As she abruptly went from No. 2 on the Democratic ticket to No. 1, Vice President Kamala Harris had a decision to make: How should she deploy President Joe Biden on the campaign trail?
“He gets an enormous amount of credibility in those blue wall states because he’s ‘Workin’ Joe Biden,’” said Cedric Richmond, a former administration official who is now advising Harris’s campaign. “People are underestimating the Democratic Party’s love for Joe Biden. It just highlights how many different messages he can give and the different places he can go.”
Polls consistently show that many voters are not eager for a reminder of the past, whether it is a return to Trump’s presidency or Biden’s. The president’s approval rating in Michigan is just 38%, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll in early August, and just 42% across Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin combined.
“Every election is a contest for the future,” he added. “So they really do have to be focused on making a case for what Harris would do the next four years as president.” Once he became the Democratic Party’s nominee, Gore made it clear he did not welcome Clinton’s full participation in the campaign, believing that it would only remind voters of the salacious episode. Gore distanced himself from Clinton on the day he announced his campaign, and went weeks at a time without talking to the president or appearing next to him.
They also said Biden can be helpful by continuing to do his day job, which they believe serves as a daily contrast to the kind of nastiness and chaos that permeated the White House when Trump was president.
