- MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle calls out Harris for dodging how she’d raise taxes: ‘She doesn’t answer the question’ (foxnews.com)
During an interview, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle questioned Vice President Kamala Harris about funding her economic plans if Republicans block corporate tax increases. Harris insisted on raising corporate taxes, but Ruhle pointed out that this may not be possible with a divided government.
Ruhle later criticized Harris for not providing a clear answer, stating that it’s essential to address the issue of debt and deficits. However, she defended Harris by comparing her to former President Trump, who she believes would increase the deficit more significantly.
Ruhle’s comments follow her previous defense of Harris for not answering policy questions directly, suggesting that Harris is not running for perfection but against Trump. She argued that Harris’s focus should be on defeating Trump, not providing detailed policy proposals.
