VP Harris went before the nation and granted an interview with 60 Minutes and I sum it up here for those that had much better things to do on Monday Night….

I was not impressed with her answers…..

Kamala Harris sat for a 60 Minutes interview that aired Monday night, while Donald Trump earlier decided to skip. Some highlights from various outlets:

• Her gun: Harris offered more details about being a gun owner, which she has brought up to refute claims that Democrats want to take people’s guns. “I have a Glock, and I’ve had it for quite some time,” she told Bill Whitaker, per USA Today. “And—I mean, look, Bill, my background is in law enforcement.” She said that she had “of course” fired it, at a shooting range.
• Trump: She slammed the former president for opting out of his own interview. “If he is not going to give your viewers the ability to have a meaningful, thoughtful conversation, question-and-answer with you, then watch his rallies,” Harris said, per CBS News. “You’re going to hear conversations that are about himself and all of his personal grievances.”
• ‘Real world’ economics: Pressed on how she would pay for her economic policies, including a $6,000 child tax credit, she pushed back on the suggestion they would not pass Congress in the “real world,” adding, “When you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress, they know exactly what I’m talking about.” The New York Timesnotes that this ignores “a reality she has encountered” as VP—that private talks don’t always lead to actual legislation.
• Putin, world: She said she would not meet with Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine. “Donald Trump, if he were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now. He talks about, ‘Oh, he can end it on Day 1.’ You know what that is. It’s about surrender.” She also named Iran as America’s biggest adversary. On Israel, she deflected a question on whether the US lacked influence over Benjamin Netanyahu, per the Washington Post. “I think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people,” Harris said. “And the answer to that question is yes.”
• Tim Walz: In his own interview, running mate Walz said Harris told him to choose his words more carefully in regard to false claims that have come to light, per CNN. “She said, ‘Tim, you know, you need to be a little more careful on how you say things,’ whatever it might be.” He said misstatements about his military record and about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square unrest stemmed from “expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong,” and not being “a pathological liar like Donald Trump.”

This was a typical MSM interview….softball questions with limited answers and the answer given were so vague that bordered on ridiculous.

So she has a gun….she dislikes Trump….her answer to a better economy is a tax credit….and that is about all there is.

Then on Tuesday another interview and a master plan….

Vice President Kamala Harris announced a plan to help the “sandwich generation”—people who have to care for children and aging parents—on ABC’s The View on Tuesday. Harris outlined a proposal to expand Medicare coverage to include services like home health aides for seniors, NPR reports. “I took care of my mother when she was sick. She was diagnosed with cancer,” Harris said. “There are so many people in our country who are right in the middle. They’re taking care of their kids and they’re taking care of their aging parents, and it’s just almost impossible to do it all, especially if they work.”

Medicaid already pays for home aides if a person has a low income or no assets, but there are long waiting lists to qualify and many areas are desperately short of workers, the New York Times reports. The Harris plan would be broader because it would go beyond people covered by Medicaid, the Times notes. She said the plan would help more elderly people live out their lives in their homes instead of long-term facilities. “It’s about dignity for that individual, it’s about independence for that individual,” she said, per Reuters. “They want to stay in their home. They don’t want to go somewhere else.”

Harris said the cost of the plan would be covered by expanding Medicare drug price negotiations, NPR reports. “We are going to save Medicare the money, because we’re not going to be paying these high prices,” she said. Bloomberg reports that just before Harris appeared on The View, Donald Trump’s campaign said he will also “take care of seniors by shifting resources back to at-home senior care, overturning disincentives that lead to care worker shortages, and supporting unpaid family caregivers through tax credits.”

Another master plan that is a tax credit…surely there is something more inclusive for the people to have a small amount of hope.

But the damning part of the interview was when asked what she would do differently than Biden her answer was nothing….that means climate change will be a back burner…..pro-war BS will be foreign policy and the wealthy will benefit most from her economic policies.

Absolutely nothing for me to consider my vote.
