A former top advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris' failed
presidential campaign was shocked when Harris told "The View" that she
wouldn't have done anything different from President Biden, according to
a new book by reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.
With roughly one month to go until the November election, Harris
famously told the liberal hosts that nothing "comes to mind" after they
asked her to name something she would've done differently than Biden
over the past four years.
Harris senior campaign advisor Stephanie Cutter was floored at Harrisâ response, according to Allen and Parnes' new book released this month
entitled, "FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House."
"What the hell was that?" Cutter recalled thinking to herself. "Thatâs
not what we practiced."
Former Vice President Harris reportedly shocked one campaign aide with

The gaffe became a moment that defined Harrisâ campaign and provided ammunition for her opponent.
The Trump campaign immediately seized on the gaffe and started sharing
the clip to voters via social media and text message that afternoon.
"It provided the money shot" for Trumpâs ad makers," the book quotes a
Harris ally as saying. "And it was her own bad moment."
"When she gave us the gift of the View interview, we were able to anchor
her to the Biden administration in her own words, which is something we
were trying to do anyway," one Trump advisor says in the book.

The Democratic candidate faced scrutiny throughout her campaign for not breaking with Biden on more issues after she took his spot at the top of
the ticket.
Harris' answer had "done little to erase the impression that her reason
for running was one of circumstance," the book's authors noted.
The vice president was facing pressure from Biden to remain loyal to him
and put "no "daylight" between them during her campaign, the book said.
