It was political malpractice for Kamala to avoid the press like the plague. This made her first TV interview almost as important as her first presidential debate. She had to know that if she so much as botched a word, Republicans would spin it as her performing even worse than Biden did in his fateful debate.
Well, it speaks volumes about her political skills that, despite the probing and goading of CNN’s Dana Bash, Kamala didn’t even botch a word.
She brimmed with confidence and the intelligence to back it up throughout the interview. In fact, Kamala performed so well that we can expect MAGA Republicans to start complaining that the media is giving her too many interviews.
