The Spin
Whilst Harris has proven she has the energy and vibe necessary to uplift America's spirit, now is the time for the Vice President to also show the nation that she is a serious politician that can handle the pressure when it counts. Given the publicity surrounding Harris's lack of interaction with legacy news as Democrats continue to focus on the Gen Z vote via social media, it is pivotal that the party nominee passes this test if her campaign is to continue the momentum it has so successfully accumulated so far.
Harris's choice of interview is only a superficial attempt to fulfil her public duty to face professional media scrutiny. CNN is nothing more than a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party, and with Waltz entasked with making sure the Vice President is sufficiently coddled, there is little chance that America will see anything more than another pre-rehearsed media stunt.
