Kamala Harris First Solo Interview with Local Pennsylvania Reporter Turns into Disaster
SUMMARY
Vice President Kamala Harris’ first solo interview with Philadelphia’s Action News 6 ABC quickly became a debacle. Harris undermined her own administration's policies by stating they might not be fit for the "twenty-first century," admitting, “My approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment.” Her attempt to distance herself from Biden's record while presenting herself as a leader with “new ideas” fell short. Harris’s responses lacked substance; when asked about making life more affordable, she repeated a vague answer from the debate, saying, “I grew up a middle class kid,” despite reports of her affluent upbringing. Her response on Trump’s appeal was a muddled, “I know in my heart, I know in my soul, I know that the vast majority of us as Americans have so much more in common than what separates us.” Her position on gun control also confused listeners as she stated, “We need an assault weapons ban,” yet added, “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away."
