Top aides to Kamala Harris are heading into the final month of the 2024 presidential race still wrestling with how much distance she can credibly claim from Joe Biden as she looks for more ways to weave in breaks with him on the campaign trail.

But she keeps getting pulled back to his side for official business at the White House — and he keeps injecting himself into the conversation.

Harris aides are looking at rolling out new plans and promises for what Harris would do as president, in part to directly demonstrate notable differences, like in her recent more blunt speeches about abortion rights and tackling the southern border.

“The challenge” of having so little time left in such a short race, one adviser to the vice president told CNN, is “when you’re trying to reach undecided low-intensity voters, how do you actually communicate difference with Biden?”

I think the headline overstates the Biden factor, but the story itself makes some going points.

1. How dare the actual president, doing his job, say things that are political

and might influence an election!

That's what I'm hearing, right? Or is that just horrible journalistic spin?

The VP is a separate person and it's okay for her to say, "In my current role I will support the CiC and president. But, when I'm in the Oval Office, my policies will be my own and not his, and these are changes I'd make." She's not his mini-me.

9. Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

CNN should be three letters that tell you not to waste any of your attention on whatever it is. Kind of like the New York Times/Siena College poll. "The highest rated poll" for getting it wrong all the time.

10. It's her job, you dolts.

Seriously, 'he keeps pulling her back to the White House for official business'.
