It was a hair-raising moment.
No one expected Kamala Harris to be interrogated On “The View” There were cheerleaders for his candidacy.
But Whoopi Goldberg introducing him by shouting “the next President of the United States of America” was a slap-your-head moment. Really?
Yesterday’s entire session was a contribution in a way harris campaign,
Challenge of Kamla 2.0? Making more news, not just with super-friendly hosts
I know, they are not straight journalists, they are liberal commentators who entertain. They read their questions verbatim from the blue cards. That’s why she wanted to do this show.
There were some legitimate questions: How would his presidency differ from Joe Biden’s? How will she handle Seema? Why doesn’t Ron DeSantis pick up his calls? About storm preparations Is a Category 4 hurricane going to hit Florida?
And then there was Joy Behar, who talked about Trump’s lies and asked how anyone could support him. This led the Vice President to say that Trump’s complaints were personal, not those of voters.

Kamala used the platform well, like how she was working and dealing with her kids when Joe Biden called and said he was stepping down.
The bottom line: “The View,” an ABC program founded by Barbara Walters — it’s still in the news division — was even more embarrassing than I expected, with women falling over themselves to praise Harris and trash Trump. .
Some legitimate questions were asked, but Kamala circled around them and avoided those things which she did not want to answer by interjecting things she was familiar with.
It was a good platform for her and for once she came prepared to make news. In an earlier move Politico, Harris was leaked made his pitch Making Medicare reimburse for care of the elderly at home rather than in expensive institutions – his first new policy proposal in a few weeks. She said she would pay for it by seeking greater discounts on some drugs paid for by Medicare. Needless to say, he was not cross-examined on this subject at all.

The women were surprised that Kamala Harris was also there.
This was a very different Kamala who had appeared in the “60 Minutes” prime-time special that aired the night before.
Of course, the news magazine show repeated some of his criticisms of Trump, with Bill Whitaker saying: “You’ve accused Donald Trump of using racism when it comes to Haitian immigrants. In Springfield, Ohio. When When it comes to birtherism, when it comes to Charlottesville, in fact, you’ve called them racist and divisive, yet Donald Trump has the support of millions and millions of Americans.”
The Veep’s talking-point response: “I believe the American people want a leader who is not trying to divide and humiliate us.”
But Whitaker was a bulldog when it came to repeatedly asking for follow-ups when the Democratic nominee offered generalities.

When asked about a responsible federal budget committee that said her plan would add $3 trillion over the next decade – too much for Trump – Harris talked about economists liking her plan and praised small business. Emphasized on.
Whittaker’s response: “Sorry, Madam Vice President. The question was how would you pay for it?”
This time, Harris said she would ensure that billionaires and large corporations pay their “fair share”, and Whittaker expressed doubt that Congress would approve it.
That was a question Harris didn’t really have to answer.
Whittaker said, “I tell you what your critics and columnists say, okay? They say the reason so many voters don’t know you is because you’ve changed your stance on so many things.” “You were against fracking. Now you’re in favor of it. You supported loose immigration policies, now you’re tightening them. You’re in favor of Medicare for allYou’re not around so much anymore that people don’t really know what you believe in or what you stand for.”
Harris responded: “For the last four years I’ve been Vice President of the United States. And I’ve been traveling our country. And I’ve been listening to people and looking for what’s possible in terms of common ground. I believe in building consensus.” Translation: The world has changed and I have to be realistic about what I can achieve.
The interview was so heavily edited that you could see it change multiple times as Harris magically limited his answers to two sentences. It’s overproduced “60 Minutes” style, but I think that was a mistake. must be cbs Play the entire thing or a large portion of it unedited.

Scott Pelley said that Trump had agreed to an interview, but backed out with changing explanations, including that there would be no fact-checking.
As of yesterday afternoon, Kamala was taping her interview with Howard Stern, who loved Trump when he rated women and was completely opposed to him as a candidate and president.
Responding to Bob Woodward’s upcoming book suggesting Trump secretly sent a COVID testing machine to Vladimir Putin during the pandemic — which the former president has denied — the VP said: “My Believe that Donald Trump has a desire to be a dictator and he admires the powerful and gets played by them because he thinks they are his friends and they have been manipulating him the whole time. And harassing him with flattery and favors…
“This man who is President of the United States is sending them to Russia? To a murderous dictator for his personal use?”

Stern called it “madness” and “lunacy” that anyone would support Donald Trump. He told Harris he would vote for her, but he might also vote for “that wall” over the former president.
Harris is finally starting to make some news. Imagine if he had started some of these interviews weeks earlier.
