Harris cites JFK, Obama among ‘most effective’ presidents, omitting Biden
Harris cited Franklin D. Roosevelt and Barack Obama, saying Obama’s Affordable Care Act work and Roosevelt’s court fight made them effective leaders.
- Former Vice President Kamala Harris omitted President Joe Biden from her list of effective presidents on Friday at a National Urban League event, instead naming Franklin Roosevelt, Barack Obama, John Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson.
- Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, posed the question to Harris during the appearance, prompting her to identify effective American leaders while notably excluding her former boss from the list.
- Harris credited Barack Obama for the Affordable Care Act and Franklin Roosevelt for investing in people during dire times, while praising Kennedy for laying groundwork that Lyndon Johnson later expanded.
- The omission has sparked discussion about political distance Harris intends to maintain from the Biden administration, despite serving as his vice president from 2021 to 2025.
- As Harris considers a future Democratic run, her presidential selections signal a strategy to establish an independent identity separate from the Biden administration's record, positioning her for potential 2028 contests.
