‘Harris Is Not Indestructible’: CNN’s Smerconish Warns VP Will Be ‘Held Accountable’ Eventually

CNN’s Michael Smerconish warned Saturday that Vice President Kamala Harris will eventually have to answer for her record and policy changes during her presidential campaign.

Harris has not sat down for a single interview nor published a policy platform on her campaign website as of Aug. 17, nearly four weeks into her presidential bid. Smerconish said Harris has been avoiding interviews because she desires additional time to explain why she has “flipped” on policies since launching her campaign, but that she will “be held accountable” at some point. (RELATED: Harris Once Bragged About Working ‘Behind The Scenes’ To Get Sex Change Surgeries For Trans Inmates)

“Thus far, Harris has had a free ride. She has not given any media interviews, hasn’t faced voter questioning. When asked recently, she said that she would give an interview by the end of the month. She said that on August the eighth. No doubt she wants more time on the clock to prepare answers as to why she’s flipped on health care, fracking, weed, and the death penalty, to name just a few,” he added. “Sooner or later, she’s going to be held accountable and face pressure that she has thus far largely avoided.”

Pollster Frank Luntz on Friday said that voters in the focus groups he conducts have “real concern” about Harris being politically “extreme.” The vice president backed many left-wing policies during her 2020 presidential campaign, but she has reversed some of her stances since launching her 2024 campaign.
