With some of the promises, I think there is a perception (and maybe a
misconception) that she has, in past, spoken out as VP in support of the
policy that caused the issue that she is now promising to fix.

When it comes to immigration policy in particular, Biden rather publicly gave
her a task regarding the border, and the common perception is that she didn't
do a good job there.

Going back to my previous post, I think her campaign is trying to sell her
as being in on some of the key decisions of the current administration,
whether she was or not.  While supporters might buy that and think it is good,
it is opening her up to some criticism for those decisions (and others, and
some non-decisions) that the opposition didn't agree with.

Again, IIRC, I do believe that the Gore campaign also did so.  Hillary
Clinton, in the original release of her memoirs, also took credit for
some things that happened while she was SoS for the Obama administration.
Later, when those things started not working, those sections of later
releases were removed and her campaign tried to deflect any responsibility
for the failures.
