‘Brutally Honest’: Chris Wallace Reminds CNN Viewers That ‘6 Months Ago’ Dems Were Contemplating Dumping Harris

CNN host Chris Wallace reminded viewers Wednesday that just “six months ago” Democrats were considering ways to remove Vice President Kamala Harris from President Joe Biden’s ticket.

Before Harris became the Democratic nominee for the upcoming presidential election, approval ratings for the vice president had been dismal, falling as low as 36.3% in November 2023. Wallace noted that while the Democratic National Convention (DNC) was going “fine” as it entered its third night, some delegates and Democratic officials disapproved of Harris staying on the ticket with Biden initially when he was still in the race.

“I‘ve been thinking about this a lot. As far as this convention is going, I think it‘s going fine, particularly last night. I thought the Obamas were very strong. I thought Michelle Obama was particularly effective. Having said that, it‘s a strange situation, as we all know,” Wallace said.

“We‘ve had this nominee over the course, Kamala Harris, for 30 days, and usually a convention is the end of a process. They‘ve gone through an entire six months, a year of a presidential campaign — New Hampshire, Iowa, all the primaries. This one is the beginning of a process in a sense,” Wallace said.

Wallace continued by noting the convention lacked a personal connection to the vice president, comparing it to a relationship without love.
