Kamala Harris remains tight-lipped on inflation and other issues in CNN interview

During the brief Kamala Harris-Tim Walz interview on CNN, our main takeaway was that Harris still lacks meaningful insights on inflation.

In fact, she seemed to have little of substance to say on any topic. Dana Bash probed her twice to disclose her Day One agenda; however, she evaded the question both times — even Walz did the same when pressed.

She repeatedly claimed that her values remained unchanged, yet the only insight we have into her values is her track record as a progressive California Democrat and her selection of Walz as her running mate.

Surprisingly, there is still no policy section on her campaign website.

Her recent economic plan announcement featured price controls as a centerpiece, but when met with criticism, her campaign quickly clarified that this is not a major policy stance.

Despite this, when inflation was mentioned in the interview, Harris once again reverted to condemning “price gouging.”

She indirectly acknowledged that the “Inflation Control Act” was primarily a Green New Deal initiative by using it as a reason for withdrawing her endorsement of the GND and a fracking ban.

She seemed focused on shoring up her left flank with vague statements about the climate crisis and the urgency of addressing it with deadlines.

She staunchly defended Bidenomics and has not offered any distinct economic policy aside from the now-rejected price controls.

Although she has advocated for trillions in federal spending and supports significant tax hikes, it appears she is promising more of the same policies implemented by Biden.

Despite this, she claims she will bring a new direction for America and move past the past decade of policies that she believes were contrary to the spirit of the country.

The ambiguity in her statements raises questions about which aspects of past administrations she intends to move away from.

Word salad is not just confusion – it’s what happens when you speak at length while avoiding facts and firm convictions, offering only vague sentiments.

Tim “My grammar’s not always correct” Walz is equally unforthcoming with concrete details.

While much of the media appears willing to overlook these shortcomings, it is likely that voters will hold them to a higher standard.
