The Harris-Walz team has realized that Kamala’s lack of interviews is a problem. So now they chose to put her out there and see what would happen.
No, things aren’t going well. I can’t help but wonder if this is why Trump has been getting more support in recent polls. To be honest, I think things will move even more in Trump’s favor after her talk with Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC this week.
Really, this interview showed us (again) why Kamala wasn’t the real choice that Democrats wanted to run against Joe Biden.
Kamala said, “Yeah, I agree with you,” when Ruhle said, “Prices are still high.”
Ruhle asked her how she was going to stop price gouging without putting price controls in place, which might make people question her morals. Kamala avoided the question completely. She didn’t give a clear answer; instead, she said, “I will never apologize for going after companies and businesses that take advantage of the desperate people in the United States.”
This answer was not clear and she did not address Ruhle’s valid worries. Kamala used her time to say that some companies use situations to raise prices, but she didn’t provide any proof to back up her claims or explain her position.
She said again, “Yes, I’m going to go after them,” but because she wasn’t specific, people didn’t know how well her plan to lower the cost of living, including rent and daily needs, would work.
Kamala fails to explain how she plans on tackling "price gouging" without implementing price controls.

However, this was my favorite word salad of the night:
“As part of our work, we will be giving state and local governments benefits and help with transit dollars and looking holistically at how that relates to housing as well as the incentives we can create as a federal government to get local and state governments to holistically plan in a way that prioritizes affordable housing for working people.”
That’s three times the word “holistic” in about 15 seconds, in case you weren’t paying attention.
