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.”

It was one of the few things from Andrew Yang's "run" for the Democratic Nomination that I was interested in and wondering if someone would pick up on it. (Now I know he's a fucking centrist nobody)
