As she rose in the polls until the starstudded connection most of the nation media didnt care but as the pressure built harris agreed agreed to sit down and not with Opera Or Gayle King But Cnn anchor and a dash of interviewed her several times. Much of the Bans Criticism focused on her decision to include her Running Mate, Tim Walz. She hasnt answered a single hard question they finally signed up for some and she asked to bring along an emotional support animal. She should disabuse every notion that Mainstream Media gets to dictate when you get to interview and how you get to interview. Others assess the interview in advance. This Interview Isnt going to reveal anything we dont all ready know about her. Expect this to be purely aboutface. Dont compass out there almost every Day And President ial candidates to tell voters find out what you are made up of the Vice President should do more of thes

Some conservatives argue, yes, there are people in need and yes they deserve help. But that is not the role of the federal government.
