A “person close to” Vice President Kamala Harris texted Politico Playbook to assess her performance in the interview-ish segment with Fox News’s Bret Baier on Wednesday, writing Harris’s mission was accomplished amid “constant interruptions and 20 straight minutes of attempted Fox-style gotchas, and she schooled him, shut him down, and got hits that Fox’s audience literally never gets to hear.”
“Even in difficult moments, Harris found a landing. When Baier played clips of Americans whose loved ones had been killed by an illegal immigrant and asked the VP whether she owed those families an apology, Harris showed empathy and admitted that illegal immigration was a big problem before pivoting to Trump: ‘But let’s talk about… an individual who does not want to participate into solutions,'” Playbook writes, plainly kind of disappointed that it wasn’t a trainwreck for the veep.
