Chicago – Not too long ago, Kamala Harris was facing one of the biggest tests of her political career. Her boss had completely fumbled on the debate stage for the entire world to see, and it was her job to defend his performance – and presidency — to the American people.

“Yes,” Joe Biden had a “slow start” to the debate that was “obvious to everyone,” the media-shy vice president said in a post-debate interview with CNN on July 27. But, she added, “I’m not going to spend all night with you talking about the last 90 minutes when I’ve been watching the last three and a half years of performance.”
