Biden’s ‘No Daylight’ Rule Blamed for Harris’s Failed 2024 Campaign

A new book reveals how Biden’s insistence on loyalty constrained Harris’s campaign, limiting her ability to differentiate herself and respond to voter concerns.

Former President Joe Biden reportedly demanded that Kamala Harris maintain alignment with his policies during her 2024 presidential campaign, using the phrase 'no daylight' to emphasize his expectations.
Harris’s campaign was heavily staffed by former Biden aides, further tying her to his administration’s record on issues like inflation and border security, which were unpopular with voters.
Harris struggled to establish her own vision for the presidency, facing criticism for failing to articulate how she would differ from Biden during interviews and debates.
Campaign decisions, such as an unusual focus on chair height during media appearances, highlighted internal tensions and a lack of coherent strategy within Harris’s team.
The book 'FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House' suggests that Biden’s influence and the Democratic Party’s reluctance to challenge him earlier contributed to Harris’s defeat by Donald Trump.
