Harris-Walz campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu bragged about Vice-President Kamala Harris’ contribution to the Biden-Harris administration on Thursday, boasting that she “helped him (President Joe Biden) do all the things that were done in the time that she was there. And I think she’s proud of that.”
Landrieu appeared on CNN’s “Inside Politics” with host Dana Bash.
Bash stated, “If you look at the voters who aren’t sure who to vote for, and if the crisis of affordability, I call it, is their top concern, what they know about Donald Trump is that they could afford more when he was president up until the pandemic. And they don’t know what she will bring.”
Ignoring the fact that the economy under Trump was roaring until the COVID pandemic, Landrieu claimed, “Well, first of all, that’s what they think, but of course that is not accurate. The economy when Donald Trump was president was terrible.”
“I think Joe Biden is going to go down in history as being one of the most consequential presidents in the history of America,” Landrieu trumpeted. “And she was his vice president and she helped him do all the things that were done in the Biden time that she was there, and I think that she’s proud of that.”

Quickly segueing, he added, “But nobody should be unclear of the fact that she is her own person.”
Landrieu tried to deflect from Biden’s unpopular policies, saying, “For people who didn’t like Joe Biden, one of the reasons they didn’t like him was not because of his policies. One of the reasons was they thought that he was too old and they said that over and over again.”
Landrieu claimed that voters “understand that it’s a choice between Donald Trump who wants to go backwards and Kamala Harris is going to go forward.” He didn’t explain what “going forward” would mean.
During the debate with former President Trump, Harris was asked about the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Biden. The question was, “Do you believe you bear any responsibility in the way that withdrawal played out?”
Harris would not answer the question, only saying, “I agreed with President Biden’s decision to pull out of Afghanistan,” and then she attacked Trump.
