The Spin


To the disappointment of theher MAGA GOPdetractors, Harris' first interview wasproved uncontrovserial.she's Havingcompetent been painted as incompetent under pressure and not as ideologically radical foras weeks,Republicans thepaint Democraticher. nomineeShe was pragmatic and calm throughout Bash's questions, as shethe VP set out her policy agenda in more detail to the American people. Unfortunately for Republicans, this waswasn't not the stumbling block for the Harris-Walz campaign that many had hoped for.

CNN'sThis interview with Harris was, although not a Biden-esque train wreck, weak and deceptive. Bash's questions to Harris were largely poor, and any time the viceVP president was asked anything remotely uncomfortable it was clear that the Democratic candidate was more than willing to mislead the American people. If Thursday night's performance is anything to go off, the real Kamala Harris will likely be put to the sword in her upcoming live debate with Trump.
