CNN turns their back on Kamala Harris in an insane turn of events

CNN's Dana Bash

CNN has been known to have a pretty obvious Leftist bias. But that may be changing.

As CNN turns their back on Kamala Harris in an insane turn of events.

CNN Host Sees Right Through Harris’s Act

CNN’s Dana Bash took a jab at Vice President Kamala Harris’s repetitive economic messaging, quipping that you could “start a drinking game” every time Harris brings up small businesses.

On a Wednesday panel, Bash commented, “When you listen to Kamala Harris on what she will do, you can almost start a drinking game every time she says ‘small businesses.’” She then played a clip of Harris addressing the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) the previous day, where the vice president emphasized her plan to expand the tax credit for new small business owners from $5,000 to $50,000.

David Weigel of Semafor chimed in, noting that Harris often falls back on familiar talking points. “She also talks about being a middle-class kid. That’s also the front of her answers,” Weigel remarked, adding that this repetition might stem from a lack of clear answers to voters’ concerns about rising prices.

Weigel pointed out the difficulty Harris faces when asked about lowering prices, especially for an incumbent party. “If you look at the interviews they’ve been doing in local media, the first question is often, ‘What are you going to do to lower prices?’ Which is a very hard question for an incumbent party to answer,” Weigel explained.

He drew comparisons to Trump’s approach, stating, “Trump says he’s going to do mass deportation, that’ll decrease demand. Trump says he’ll explore more energy, that’ll decrease energy costs.”

Weigel acknowledged that Democrats have had some success in taming inflation, which was “bad two years ago,” but he noted that people are still seeking solutions to bring down prices. Harris’s responses, while fact-based, often lack the direct, bold promises that resonate with voters.

“There is not a plan to say that we’re going to lower the cost of your grocery bill to what it was in 2019,” Weigel said, adding that there are no simple answers to post-pandemic inflation and supply chain issues. He contrasted Harris’s broader vision of increasing small businesses with Trump’s more immediate, albeit controversial, proposals.

In her first solo TV interview as the Democratic nominee, Harris gave a lengthy response about her upbringing in the middle class when asked about specific plans to address prices. She eventually circled back to her plan to expand the small business tax credit.

Harris has also proposed raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, and her campaign reportedly supports the tax increases on high earners proposed by President Biden for the 2025 fiscal year.

While speaking at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 47th Annual Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., Harris touched on other policy topics but provided few concrete details.

She emphasized the importance of providing families with resources to raise their children but didn’t specify what those resources would be or how they would be delivered.

“I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community, and we should all have a vested interest in ensuring that children can grow up with the resources they need to achieve their God-given potential,” Harris said.

In an unexpected moment, Harris seemed to undermine her own proposed federal price-fixing plan for corporations, noting that “very few” companies actually exploit crises by raising prices.

This added another layer of ambiguity to her policy platform, leaving many wondering what her administration’s economic priorities would look like in practice.
