The senator from California has been faulted for imprecision as she seeks the Democratic nomination.
By Chelsea Janes Chelsea Janes Reporter covering the Washington Nationals Email Bio Follow March 16 at 6:39 PM ST. GEORGE, S.C. — Before Sen. Kamala D. Harris stepped out of her white minivan, no presidential candidate had ever visited St. George, at least as far as any local officials could remember.
“It’s all about trust,” she said. “I’d rather she be honest with me [like that] and tell me she hasn’t looked into it.” “I think that’s ridiculous,” Harris said. “The idea that you would deny a professional woman the opportunity to have a meeting with the vice president of the United States is outrageous.”
An earlier example came in an on-camera interview with CNN’s John King in late February, when the anchor asked Harris: Why did voters who twice chose Barack Obama flip to President Trump?“If I’m a Democratic voter and I want Trump gone,” King said, “I want a better answer than that.” Her answer forced other Democratic candidates to clarify their positions on private insurance as they advocate for a stronger public insurance option. None had previously gone quite so far in their endorsement of the plan.
Voters consistently show more concern about the policies Harris promoted in her earlier roles as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general. A Las Vegas voter asked her about the policy she instituted in San Francisco that threatened parents of habitually truant students with incarceration — the result of a study Harris conducted that showed the harm missing school at the elementary level can have on a student’s ability to complete high school.
