I'm not sure how you can hear/read/write that and conclude her answer was "nothing will change". To be sure, it is a very unpracticed attempt to give a political non-answer, but that's not the same as affirmatively saying "this will be four years of the same".

That's typical for this interview format, no? I mean, you can be critical of the lack of information density but we're talking about her agenda relative to Biden's - and, to an extent, the status quo Trump created (inflation, diminished foreign influence) since that dictated much of what Biden could do.

I would concede that one cannot, from these two public statements, conclude with 100% confidence that she didn’t have plans for a change in direction.

It is telling, however, that this is the only public information we have on the matter and nothing concrete from her or her campaign ever created a different framing or message (I searched but couldn’t find anything).

I’m open to be proven wrong, and perhaps her autobiography will reveal OR it will confirm what voters interpreted.

At the very least, the whole saga confirmed for me a lack of self-awareness, taking things for granted, and a certain arrogance.
