Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), Kamala Harris’ campaign co-chair, had nothing to spin in front of CNBC’s Joe Kernen. The Squawk Box host pushed Coon regarding the vice president’s scaredy-cat demeanor regarding press interviews. Coons had the predictable spin: Trump rejected CNN’s invitation, and world leaders are worried about America’s commitments abroad amid this election cycle.
First, Harris ran away from Fox News’ invitation. The former president gave three dates on which he’d like to debate Harris. She wanted to venture onto CNN, which is looking to redeem itself after the June debate between Trump and Joe Biden, which led to the latter quitting the race over his appalling performance.
.@JoeSquawk: Trump-Vance have done dozens and dozens of interviews; Harris-Walz have barely done any.

Second, no American voter cares about what foreign leaders in Africa and Europe are thinking about right now regarding anxiety over this nation’s future role in the world should Trump win. The Delaware liberal explained why he was in New York: he was there for the United Nations session. That’s the most Beltway-soaked, political-class nonsense right there. No one cares about the UN right now, Chris. They’re shredded at the grocery store because Biden-Harris has made everything more expensive.
Biden proved that he couldn’t do the job, follow through, and be incapable of filling in that very powerful office. The office remains powerful—the man behind it is weak, senile, and unqualified. So, it’s well that he picked a vice president who is equally incompetent and incapable of grasping the most basic issues facing voters. That’s why she’s running away.
American voters swayed by concerns of foreign leaders—detachment thy name is Democrat.
And like other surrogates, Coons lays out how Harris has some grand domestic agenda. When pressed, he can't say what that is.
CNBC: Do you believe Americans deserve to know specifics about Kamala's economic plan? Should they know what their tax rate is going to be?
