Kamala Harris Refuses to Cite a Single Abortion Restriction She Supports

Vice President Kamala Harris would not identify a single restriction on abortion that she supports during a CBS News interview, even though she was given the opportunity several times.

Harris discussed abortion with  “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan in an interview that aired Sunday.

“What is it that you believe? What week of pregnancy should abortion access to be cut off?” Brennan asked the vice president.

“We need to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade. We’re not trying to do something new,” Harris began, before the CBS host cut her off to point out: “That was nebulous, because it was about [fetal] viability, which could be anywhere between 20 to 24 weeks. That was in the Women’s Health Protection Act that the White House also endorsed.”

“No, no, no, no, no,” responded a ruffled Harris. “Let me be very clear. Let me be very clear. From Day One, the president has been clear. I have been clear. We need to put back the protections that are in Roe v. Wade into law. Since the Supreme Court took it, Congress has the power and ability to pass legislation, to put those protections back in law, and [President] Joe Biden will sign that bill. So, that is what we want.”

Brennan pressed again.

“Does it need to be specific in terms of defining where that guarantee goes up to and where it does not? Which week of pregnancy?”

When Harris again begins to talk about the importance of putting back the “protections” of Roe v. Wade, Brennan tells her, “You know why I’m asking you this question, though. Republicans say the lack of a precise date in cutting it off, you know this, they say that allows Democrats to perform abortions up until birth, which is statistically not accurate.”

“Which is ridiculous!” Harris exclaimed. “It’s ridiculous, and it’s a mischaracterization of the point.”

“Do we need to be more precise?” Brennan pressed.

“I am being precise,” Harris insisted, before again stressing about reinstating the “protections of Roe v. Wade.”

Brennan even asked Harris about GOP proposals—specifically, that of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to protect unborn babies at 15 weeks. Harris again insisted on focusing on Roe v. Wade.

Graham weighed in Sunday on her remarks.

“This is truly breaking news,” he said. “Vice President Harris today said the idea that Democrats support abortion on demand, up to the moment of birth, is ‘ridiculous.’”

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany also slammed the vice president’s remarks on social media, tweeting, “Vice President Kamala Harris refuses to say at what week a baby should be protected by law.

“No surprise that Harris refuses to list any specific week or limits on abortion. “NARAL, Planned Parenthood (multimillion dollar donors to Dems) openly support no limits on abortion. Are they wrong @KamalaHarris?”

Poll: Less Than 1 in 5 Americans Say Kamala Harris Makes Them Think Better of Biden Administration

Nearly 60 percent of Americans disapprove of the performance Vice President Kamala Harris has put forth, while just 18 percent say she makes them "think better of the Biden administration," according to a CBS News/YouGov poll. 

Poll: Nearly Half of Americans Under 30 Support Sending US Troops to Defend Ukraine

(Elizabeth Stauffer)

A CBS News/YouGov poll found that 48% of adults under the age of 30 support sending U.S. troops to defend Ukraine. I’m rather struck by such a high number given that the military is failing to reach recruitment goals among this very demographic. Perhaps they feel it’s a good idea as long as it isn’t them being sent to the front lines.

The numbers drop off sharply among older age groups. Among those between the ages of 30 and 44, the total falls to 28%; among those between 45 and 64, 17%; and for those over 65, 8%.

Of those who describe themselves as liberals, 33% support sending troops to Ukraine. That number falls to 20% for moderates and to 19% for conservatives.

By gender, 23% of males and 26% of females support the idea.

The survey of 2,335 U.S. adults was conducted between September 5-8 and released on Sunday. The margin of error is ±2.7 points.

Screenshot from CBS News/YouGov poll

Democratic registered voters were asked about their “enthusiasm” for Vice President Kamala Harris being “on the ticket.” Thirty percent said they were enthusiastic, 54% satisfied, and 16% replied they were “dissatisfied” or “angry.” These responses may not seem all that bad until one sees that in August 2020, the numbers were 58%, 34%, and 8%, respectively.

CBS notes that, unsurprisingly, black Democrats have the most enthusiasm for Harris.

Five percent of participants believe the economy is doing “very well” and another 23% thinks it’s doing “somewhat well,” compared to 34% who think it’s “somewhat bad” and 38% who believe it’s “very bad.”

Newsom: I Won't Run in 2024, Kamala Harris the Natural Successor to Biden

By: Pam Key · Pam Key
Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Vice President Kamala Harris was the natural successor to President Joe Biden should he not run in 2024 during a preview clip of an interview set to air on Sunday's broadcast of "Meet the Press" on NBC.

Gavin Newsom Addresses Rumors He’ll Run in 2024

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed rumors in an interview clip released Friday that he may run for president in 2024, emphasizing that Vice President Kamala Harris is President Joe Biden’s natural successor.

Newsom also insisted that Biden will run again, telling NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd in an interview released Friday: “We need to move past this notion that he’s not going to run. President Biden is going to run and I’m looking forward to him getting reelected.”

“I think there’s been so much wallowing in the last few months, and handwringing in this respect,” Newsom said of those wondering if he would personally step up to the plate and run in 2024. “But we’re gearing up for the campaign. We’re looking forward to it.”

Harris is “naturally” the one “lined up” to follow Biden if he doesn’t run, Newsom said.

Newsom reiterates he won't run in 2024 even though the Sacramento Bee recently reported he's running a shadow fundraising campaign.

“It’s the Biden-Harris administration. Maybe I’m a little old-fashioned …” he said, emphasizing that he cannot imagine running against her. “It won’t happen.”

“I’ve said that a thousand times,” he added. Newsom said that he and Harris have a very good relationship and check in with one another to see how they are doing in their respective roles.

And asked if Harris was angry that he was planning on debating Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, he responded: “Eh, maybe, apparently someone in her office is, ’cause I read some off the record quotes, I wish I knew who that was, but I don’t hear it from her, and I’m certainly not hearing it from the White House.”

DeSantis agreed to debate Newsom during an interview with Sean Hannity.

“Absolutely, I’m game,” he told the Fox News host.

“Let’s get it done. Just tell me when and where we’ll do it. In one respect, the debate between California and Florida has already been had, as you suggest, people have been voting on that, they’ve been voting on it with their feet, they have fled California in record numbers.”

The debate between California and Florida is already over. People have been voting with their feet for years.

But the debate about the future of our country is one we need to have.

I'm game to talk about my plans to reverse the decline in this country anytime, anywhere, because… pic.twitter.com/BbUKix8s5E

— Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis) August 3, 2023

“Florida has been the No. 1 state for net in-migration,” DeSantis added. “We have the No. 1 ranked economy, No. 1 now in education, crime rate at a 50-year-low. But in another sense, this is the debate for the future of our country because you have people like Joe Biden, they would love to see the Californication of the United States.”

“Biden may not even be the nominee,” he concluded. “You could have Gavin Newsom, you could have Kamala Harris. And I think if we go down that direction, that’s going to accelerate American decline. We can’t see America decline anymore. We need to reverse.”

Kamala Harris: Every VP Understands They 'May Have to Take Over' Role of President If Necessary

Vice President Kamala Harris said she would be ready to take over the role of president if necessary when asked in an interview.

Kamala Harris Is Ready for the Presidency

(Elizabeth Stauffer)

After seeing Vice President Kamala Harris’ inappropriate laughter during a March 2022 joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw, a former spokeswoman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in a Twitter post, “It would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency.”

Truer words have rarely been spoken.

Iuliia Mendel, who represented Zelenskyy for two years, quickly deleted the tweet amid a left-wing backlash, but a screenshot of the post went viral.

Former Zelenskyy spokesperson @IuliiaMendel said in a now-deleted tweet that a Kamala Harris presidency would be a "tragedy."

— Sebastian Hughes (@ooghes) March 10, 2022

Mendel’s reaction was quite understandable. She was just expressing the obvious — Kamala Harris, who is a heartbeat away from the presidency, is unfit for the job, and her cackling was an unseemly reaction to a question about suffering refugees.

Harris is currently attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia. During a Wednesday interview with The Associated Press, Harris said that “Joe Biden is going to be fine,” but if anything were to happen to him, she stands ready to step into his shoes.

Joe Biden is going to be fine, so that is not going to come to fruition. But let us also understand that every vice president — every vice president — understands that when they take the oath they must be very clear about the responsibility they may have to take over the job of being president.

I’m no different.

I see him every day. A substantial amount of time we spend together is in the Oval Office, where I see how his ability to understand issues and weave through complex issues in a way that no one else can to make smart and important decisions on behalf of the American people have played out.

And so I will say to you that I think the American people ultimately want to know that their president delivers. And Joe Biden delivers.

One would think the U.S. couldn’t do much worse than the buffoon who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But the thought of a potential President Kamala Harris makes one wonder.

Nearly every public appearance she makes ends with a viral soundbite that showcases either Harris’ inability to think on her feet, her incessant cackling, or both. Let’s take a walk down memory lane.

In the clip below, Harris responds to a reporter’s question following President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

The New York Post described her reaction:

‘Hold on, hold on — slow down, everybody!’ Harris said, before letting out her now-notorious laugh, shaking her shoulders as she chuckled. … The VP finally controlled herself to insist that the Biden administration ‘couldn’t have a higher priority right now’ than Afghanistan.

During an interview with NBC’s Craig Melvin about the administration’s Covid strategy that aired in January 2022, Harris was asked, “At what point does the administration say, ‘You know what, this strategy isn’t working. We’re going to change strategies.’ … Is it time?”

Harris replied with the following word salad: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.”

(Relevant portion begins at 2:00.)

During a joint press conference with the Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Bucharest in March 2022 (just one day after her appearance with the Polish president referenced above), a reporter asked Harris, “How long should Americans expect — how long should we be bracing for — this … historic inflation and some unprecedented gas prices?”

This was a question she should have had an answer to. But Harris was incapable of answering.

After a brief pause, she opened her mouth and delivered a three-minute word salad that had next to nothing to do with the question she was asked.

Her answer was so nonsensical, one Twitter user responded with a clip of a contestant in the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant painfully winging it in response to a question she couldn’t answer.

The first time I ever saw then-Sen. Kamala Harris in action was during the September 2018 confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

It was clear that both Harris and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker were auditioning for the 2020 Democratic presidential primary that would begin four months later.

As much as I loathed her, I was impressed by her confidence, her audacity, and what I perceived at the time to be her intelligence. I worried that she would become the next U.S. president.

However, aside from her one brief moment of glory during a June 2019 primary debate when she ambushed then-rival Joe Biden over his record on race, Harris’ campaign failed to gain traction. Her candidacy ended in failure.

Yet Biden still saw fit to choose her as his running mate. Many believe he picked Harris as “an insurance policy” against impeachment. If Kamala were the alternative, it wouldn’t happen.

Harris’ vice presidency has been marked by one calamity after another. Rather than projecting that gutsy image we saw during the Kavanaugh hearing, she’s come across as unprepared, unserious and, frankly, not too bright.

She’s clearly not ready for the presidency and as much as people think Democrats can pull a switcheroo if Biden withdraws from the race over the next year, inserting California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the nominee, or God forbid Michelle Obama, over Harris may be easier said than done.
