Kamala Harris’s Tactical Problem

I am a contributor at Fox News, where Bret Baier is rightly revered as a pro’s pro. This assured that the interview Vice President Kamala Harris deigned to sit for earlier this week would be civil but challenging — oh, hold on, just got the media-Democratic complex’s guidance on this: I mean the interview was sure to be testy. (Better?)

The general take on the center-right is that Harris did poorly. I don’t mean to be contrarian, but this assessment conflates what voters wanted to hear during the interview with what the candidate was trying to accomplish.
