On MSNBC, Doug Heye contended that Vice President Kamala Harris’s vulnerabilities were “laid bare” in her CNN interview on Thursday, the first significant sit-down she has undergone since ascending to the top of the Democratic Party ticket.
Ryan Nobles, Heye, and former Maryland Congresswoman Donna Edwards convened on Friday to evaluate Harris’s interview from the previous evening, which also featured her running mate Tim Walz and CNN’s Dana Bash.
Edwards was exceedingly complimentary of Harris, and Heye concurred with her on one point: Harris’s response to former President Donald Trump’s criticisms of her race was “perfect.”
Heye, however, was quick to pour cold water on the liberal lovefest.
“What Kamala Harris struggles with quite often is she gets asked a question and she gives a very long answer that goes in a million directions and is sort of this very large word salad that you can’t extrapolate, what is she saying there?” Heye remarked.
“I thought back to 1980 when Ted Kennedy was asked a very simple question: why are you running for president? And it took him three minutes to not answer the question, which is a basic one. Harris gets caught up in this a whole lot where you just end up scratching your head, saying, what is she trying to say here? And that was a lot of what we saw last night,” Heye added.
