Vice President Kamala Harris seemed to maintain it transferring when requested about Donald Trump’s “happened to turn Black” assault in what New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman known as the previous president’s “baited” transfer on Thursday.
Harris — in her first interview alongside Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz since getting into the 2024 race — was requested about Trump’s feedback by CNN’s Dana Bash.
The vp known as it the “same old tired playbook” from the GOP nominee.
“Next question, please,” Harris instructed the CNN host.
“That’s it?” Bash requested.
“That’s it,” Harris replied.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper mentioned the response confirmed Harris was “clearly” prepared for the query, selecting to only “brush it aside” and never “go down that rabbit hole.”
Haberman instructed Cooper that the Harris marketing campaign has made a “very concerted effort” to not be “baited.”
“And Trump has been trying very hard to bait her and to bait her supporters on issues related to race, on issues related to gender and her campaign and the vice president are not interested in doing that,” mentioned Haberman, who additionally serves as a political analyst for CNN.
She continued, “Now, I don’t know whether they will decide strategically to say more or engage more at some point. The debate might be a place where they do that. It might not be a place where they do that.”
Haberman then pointed to Harris’ “very successful” conference and speech, which “really didn’t get into” the historic nature of her candidacy.
“Other people talked about that in their speeches, she did not, and, you know, I think there’s a variety of reasons why,” she mentioned, “but that was a very intentional answer that I think you will hear a lot of.”
