On Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris sat down with Bill Whitaker of "60 Minutes" to discuss her policy positions and vision for America if she is elected to serve four years in the White House on November 5. Throughout the interview, Harris made clear that her policies would not be drastically different from President Joe Biden's as she struggled through several answers, a fact that her opponent, President Donald Trump, pointed out on Truth Social.
"The Interview on 60 Minutes with Comrade Kamala Harris is considered by many of those who reviewed it the WORST Interview they have ever seen. She literally had no idea what she was talking about, and it was an embarrassment to our Country that a Major Party Candidate would be so completely inept," Trump wrote. "In addition, her Incompetence on 'helping' people through the devastation of Hurricane Helene is being reviewed as, by far, the Worst in American History, even worse than Katrina - If that is possible! I can't imagine anybody living in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, or Tennessee, voting for her. Pollsters are saying that the anti, or negative, Vote in those places, and even places not affected but with people watching what took place, will be heavily against her. This is good news because November 5th is the Most Important Day in the History of our Country, and we cannot bear four more years of Incompetence. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
When Whitaker confronted Harris with her administration's foreign policy record on Israel, the Democratic presidential candidate dodged by telling Whitaker, "I maintain Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. This war has to end." After being pressed by the CBS correspondent on whether the United States holds sway over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Harris refused to answer the question. "We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end," she said.
In addition to being pressed on her foreign policy record, Whitaker asked Harris about the influx of millions of illegal immigrants that crossed the southern border over the past three and a half years, pointing out that Harris only recently came out in favor of strengthening border security. After being asked why she wasn't in favor of securing the border when she first took office, Harris shifted the blame to Trump by citing the failure of a border security package written by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) earlier this year. "Donald Trump got word that this bill was afoot and could be passed. And he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. So he told his buddies in Congress kill the bill. Don't let it move forward," she said without addressing why her nor Biden took executive action. "We need Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem."
On the topic of the economy, Harris repeatedly dodged questions of how she would pay for her economic agenda eventually being forced to admit that she would raise taxes. "Okay, so the other economists that have reviewed my plan versus my opponent and determined that my economic plan would strengthen America's economy, his would weaken it. But my plan, Bill, if you don't mind, my plan is about saying that when you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen America's economy. Small businesses are part of the backbone of America's economy," Harris said, as reported by Fox News.
"Pardon me, madam vice president. The question was, how are you going to pay for it?" Whitaker asked. After being pushed back on, Harris said that the rich have to "pay their fair share." "It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations, and I plan on making that fair," she said. The "60 Minutes" host pressed Harris on how she would get higher taxes through Congress, to which she replied, "There are plenty of leaders in Congress who understand and know that the Trump tax cuts blew up our federal deficit. None of us, and certainly, I cannot afford to be myopic in terms of how I think about strengthening America's economy. Let me tell you something. I am a devout public servant. You know that I am also a capitalist, and I know the limitations of government."
