WATCH: Vice President Kamala Harris Claims She's The 'Change' Candidate Because She's 'Obviously Not Joe Biden'

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris continued her public appearances with an interview on "Late Night with Stephen Colbert." During the interview, Harris was asked how her presidency would differ from that of Joe Biden, but she failed to give specifics about what makes her the "change" candidate other than the fact that she isn't Biden or Trump.

"Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters, really want this to be a change election, and they tend to break for you in terms of thinking about change; you are a member of the present administration. Under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be and what would stay the same?" Colbert asked.

"Sure. Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden," she said as the audience laughed. "So that would be one change. But also I think it's important to say with 28 days to go, I'm not Donald Trump. So when we think about the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like, were I to be elected president, it is about, frankly, I love the American people. I believe in our country. I love that it is our character and nature to be an ambitious people. We have aspirations. We have dreams. We have incredible work ethic."

After struggling to answer the question with any substance, Harris turned to her go-to talking point on her vision for the American economy. "And I just believe that we can create and build upon the success that we've achieved in a way that we continue to grow opportunity and, in that way, grow the strength of our nation. So, for example, my economic policies I think of it and I name it as creating an 'opportunity economy.' So it's about things like investing in our small businesses."

The vice president's response to Colbert's question mirrors her response during an interview with "The View" on Tuesday. When asked by co-host Sunny Hostin if there would be anything she would change from the last three and a half years of President Joe Biden's term, she replied, "There is not a thing that comes to mind," Harris responded. "I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact." 

Harris was also asked about how her presidency would be different than her former running mate's tenure, to which she said, "We're obviously two different people, and we have a lot of shared life experiences, for example, the way we feel about our family and our parents and so on. But we're also different people, and I will bring those sensibilities to how I leave." President Biden voiced a similar sentiment last week during his first appearance at the White House press briefing. "We're singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws [that resulted in record-high inflation]. She's a major player in everything we've done," he told the media.
