Vice President Kamala Harris claimed during an interview this week that she could not fix problems that ordinary Americans are facing because she is not president.

Harris made the remarks Tuesday afternoon during an interview with Wisconsin’s WISN 12 News, a local ABC affiliate.

Reporter Matt Smith asked Harris: “I think what some voters are struggling with, and we’ve heard this across the state, is when you discuss your plans, they come back and ask, “Well, why haven’t you done it already?”

“Well, I’m not president,” Harris responded.

Smith responded: “You’re vice president, with all due respect.”

“Yeah, exactly,” Harris said. “But I’m going to tell you what I’m doing as president when I have the ability then to do what I know based on my experience, is a new approach that is about building on the good work that has happened. But there’s more to do. There’s more to do.”

Harris continued by saying that from her “perspective” and based on her “personal experience,” more needed to be done to “have Medicare cover the cost of home health care for our seniors.”

“We haven’t done that before,” she continued. “Maybe it’s because of my personal experience, but it’s also about my perspective, about what can be new work that is done to deal with long-standing challenges, knowing no administration can fix everything but there are things that are in front of us.”
