CNN Host Says Voters Still Don’t Know Harris’ Policy

 

“CNN News Central” co-host Sara Sidner acknowledged on Thursday that voters still lacked a clear understanding of Vice President Kamala Harris’ policy proposals.

During the debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump, moderated by ABC News hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis, Harris avoided going into detail on her policy positions. Sidner questioned Politico reporter Meredith McGraw on whether Harris needed to provide more depth regarding her policy stances.

“Meridith, when you are looking at this race and you sort of see some of the things that are being done, does she, Kamala Harris, need to do more to explain to the public what her policies are?” Sidner asked McGraw. “Because that’s the thing that keeps coming up in polling as well, that people don’t really know what her policies are all about.”

“CNN News Central” co-host Sara Sidner admitted Thursday that voters still did not know much about Vice President Kamala Harris’ policy proposals.

Harris and former President Donald Trump debated Tuesday night at an event moderated by ABC News hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis, where she avoided discussing policy positions in detail. Sidner questioned Politico reporter Meredith McGraw about whether Harris needed to do more to flesh out policy positions.

“Well, that’s one of the big questions that a lot of voters have. What are her policies? How is she going to try to differentiate herself from President Biden? And who is Kamala Harris? You know a lot of voters know Donald Trump, know who he is, and one of the goals of the Harris campaign has been trying to introduce her to the public and help the public understand who she is, what her story is,” McGraw told Sidner. “And that’s something we saw on the debate stage, you know her talking about her upbringing and trying to help voters get where she’s coming from. But, you know, for the Harris campaign, they’re really going to have to try to articulate, I think, more clearly to voters exactly what some of her policy points are as she gets out there on the campaign trail. And we know from the campaign that she’s going to be doing more interviews, something we haven’t seen her do a lot of in the past weeks, and that she’s going to be really trying to expand on her outreach to voters that have questions about who she is and what her policies are.”
