CNN’s Michael Smerconish argued Vice President Kamala Harris is not “indestructible” amid her polling successes, predicting she will be “held accountable” eventually for flipped positions and her record in office.
On Saturday, Smerconish argued Harris has been a “nearly invisible” vice president who has not faced tough questions on her time as vice president as she’s avoided the media since moving to the top of the Democratic Party ticket.
“Kamala Harris is not indestructible. She has served as an undistinguished, nearly invisible vice president. There appears no accomplishment she can point to for her most important responsibility, addressing the origin of the border crisis,” he said.
The CNN host also argued her running Mate Tim Walz may turn out “to have as many warts as JD Vance,” pointing to a KFile report highlighting that Walz’s past congressional campaign had made false statements about a DWI arrest.
Harris, Smerconish argued, has “had a free ride” thus far and chided her campaign for promising one media interview before the end of the month.
“Thus far, Harris has had a free ride. She hasn’t given any media interviews, hasn’t faced voter questioning. When asked recently, she said she would give an interview by the end of the month. She said that on August the 8th!” he said.
Smerconish pointed to Harris’s flipped positions on “healthcare, fracking, weed, and the death penalty” as just some of the things she’ll need to answer for when she eventually faces the press. She’ll also need to answer for an economic agenda that’s received “mixed reviews,” he added.
“Sooner or later, she’s going to be held accountable and face pressure that she has thus far largely avoided,” Smerconish said.
