North Carolina senator Kay Hagan became the latest in a growing line of Democratic politicians refusing to clearly state what they think of President Obama and his leadership.
Hagan spoke on Tuesday with MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt, who asked the senator point-blank whether she thought President Obama was a strong leader.
“You know, President Obama has a lot on his plate,” Hagan deflected, pointing to a series of crises such as the Islamic State and Ebola.
“And do you think he’s acted as a strong leader in these crises?” Hunt pressed, causing the senator to admit that “we were late to the table” on Ebola.
“So you don’t think he showed strong leadership,” Hunt said, prompting Hagan to again demur.
The president is very unpopular in North Carolina, where Hagan is running a tough reelection campaign against Republican state lawmaker Thom Tillis.
