On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris stated that a key distinction between her potential administration and President Joe Biden’s is her commitment to including a Republican in her Cabinet.
Earlier, Harris had mentioned on “The View” that she would not have made different decisions than Biden did during his tenure over the past four years.
Later in the interview, she clarified: “Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my Cabinet. You asked me, ‘what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me?’ Well, that will be one of the differences.”
She further explained, “I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet because I don’t let pride hinder a good idea.”
Historically, it has been common for presidents to appoint members of the opposing party to Cabinet positions; for instance, former President Barack Obama included four Republicans in his Cabinet.
However, both former President Donald Trump and Biden have deviated from that tradition.
