Vice President Kamala Harris is set to sit for her fifth interview since joining the race, this time scheduled for Wednesday with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. Ruhle, a former investment banker and Bloomberg News veteran, has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump. The recent interview marks one of the few times Harris and her running mate, Representative Tim Walz, have participated in interviews, making it notable as they have had the fewest interviews “in modern U.S. history,” according to Axios.
When Vice President Kamala Harris does sit for interviews on networks such as CNN, ABC, and with Oprah Winfrey and the National Association of Black Journalists, she tends to avoid questions or give vague answers. This has led some observers to question her transparency.
It is unlikely that Stephanie Ruhle will ask Vice President Harris tough questions about her recent dodges and flip-flops on various policy issues. Last week on Bill Maher’s show, Ruhle defended Harris’s vague answers and flip-flops, citing the knowledge of Trump’s “answer to everything.
We have two choices, and so there are some things you might not know her answer to,” Ruhle explained. And in 2024 unlike 2016, for a lot of the American people, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy.
Since joining the race in July, Vice President Kamala Harris has allegedly changed her view, outright flip-flopped, or has an unknown position on 12 different policy areas. These include decriminalizing prostitution, death penalty, amnesty for so-called “Dreamers,” banning plastic straws, a mandate for only producing electric and hydrogen vehicles by 2035, banning fracking, gun confiscation through a buyback program, decriminalizing illegally crossing the southern border, reparations, building a border wall, a federal jobs guarantee, and Medicare for All.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview with Stephanie Ruhle will air at 7 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday.
