Urban radio has a lot to talk about over the holiday weekend. Her name is Kamala Harris as the real time history unfolds. Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday night defended shifting away from some of her more liberal positions in her first major television interview of her presidential campaign, but insisted her “values have not changed” even as she is “seeking consensus.”
Sitting with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris was asked specifically about her reversals on banning fracking and decriminalizing illegal border crossings, positions she took during her last run for president. She confirmed she does not want to ban fracking, an energy extraction process key to the economy of swing-state Pennsylvania, and said there “should be consequence” for people who cross the border without permission.
The Kamala Harris takeaways: she passed the interview test, she’s ready to debate and will do a great job, her aim is middle grown, she explained her policies, she didn’t run from Joe Biden, she has an agenda and knows where she wants to go. And she does identify as a black woman and has said many times. As she said on TV, next question- no one cares.
