Harris Interview Criticized for Lack of Tough Questions

Vice President Kamala Harris's solo interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle has sparked criticism for its perceived lack of challenging questions and Harris's vague policy responses. Critics argue that Ruhle, who has defended Harris in the past, failed to press Harris on specifics regarding her economic plans, including how she would handle opposition from a GOP-controlled Congress. Despite Ruhle's admission that Harris did not answer how she would raise taxes or address the deficit, she defended Harris by highlighting the differences between Harris and former President Trump. The interview is part of Harris's limited media engagement strategy, having done few major interviews since becoming the Democratic nominee, which has drawn calls for more substantive scrutiny of her policies.
