I don't envy her as she is obviously needing to be careful with her answer given Biden is still the President and they can't appear divided. I do think though she needs to come up with a better response then what she's provided so far around how her administration would be different from the last 4 years in a constructive way that doesn't come across as tearing Biden down. She can do better than saying she's not Biden and she's not Trump.

This is why Democratic strategists didn’t want an open nomination. You wind up with Democrat leadership hopefuls being put in a position where they have to run against a Democrat incumbent.
The transition from Biden to Harris went about as smoothly as you could hope. But Harris is still in an awkward position. If she runs on steady-as-she-goes, she turns off voters who are unhappy with the last four years (and there are lots of them). If she campaigns on change, she’s undermining the current administration - of which she is a core member.
