Vice President Kamala Harris appeared for her first solo interview with ABC News on Friday but still managed to botch simple questions.
Notably, ABC News is the same network that moderated the first presidential debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night.
Many conservatives, including Trump, slammed the network as “biased” after the debate, citing moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.
Nonetheless, Harris chose ABC News for her first solo interview, and, despite being asked simple questions, she managed to do poorly, according to the New York Post.
Harris answered just five questions from Action News 6 ABC, which is a local affiliate of ABC News.
The interview came three days after Harris debated Trump in Pennsylvania.
Action News 6 ABC anchor Brian Taff asked the vice president what she would do, if elected president, to reduce prices.
Harris couldn’t answer the question.
Instead, the vice president said she grew up “as a middle class kid.”
“Well, I’ll start with this. I grew up as a middle class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard,” Harris said.
“We as Americans have beautiful character,” she went on. “We have ambitions and aspirations and dreams. But not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions.”
Despite not answering the question regarding how she would reduce prices, Harris outlined a proposal to give new homeowners $25,000 and provide small businesses with tax breaks, as reported by the New York Post.
Interestingly, Harris seemed to criticize her boss, President Joe Biden, saying she’s “obviously” not like the president because she offers an “opportunity economy” and “a new generation of leadership.”
“So, for example, thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it’s about investing in areas that really need a lot of work,” the vice president said.
Harris then went on to claim that she supports the Second Amendment and would not take Americans’ guns away but then said she believes that so-called “assault weapons” should be banned, as previously reported by Resist the Mainstream.
The vice president called such weapons “tools of war.”
Taff later asked Harris what she believes is Trump’s appeal to voters.
Harris had difficulty answering that question.
“I, uh, based on experience and, uh, and, a lived experience know in my heart, I know in my soul, I know that the vast majority of Americans have in common so much more than what separates us,” the vice president said.
“And I also believe that I am accurate in knowing that most Americans want a leader who brings us together as Americans and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other,” she said, referring to Trump.
“I think people are more willing now in light of the hate and division that we see coming out of Donald Trump to say, ‘Hey, let’s put country first,’” she added.
Toward the end of the interview, Taff asked the vice president if there was anything she wanted her supporters to know about her.
In response, the vice president said, “I don’t know.”
“I don’t know. I mean, probably it’s not very different from anybody watching right now. I love my family, um, one of my favorite things that I lately have not been able to do is Sunday family dinner. I love to cook. I have incredible friends,” she said, before pointing to her career as a prosecutor in California.
