Every interview Kamala Harris does reminds us why she does so few. Even with a sympathetic questioner in CBS’ Bill Whitaker and a lot of editing, her pre-recorded “60 Minutes” sit-down that aired Monday didn’t go well.
Harris gave us a glimpse into her mind, and there’s not much there.
Be thankful for small favors: At least she didn’t deflect anything with “I grew up a middle-class kid.”
But her canned evasions still aren’t actually answers to the big questions of this election: What she really believes, how she’d offer “change” from Joe Biden, what she plans to do, or why anyone should expect any of her policies to work.
Whitaker challenged Harris on a few points, but this shouldn’t have been a hard interview.
There were no “gotcha” questions. There were no surprises.
