Ted Cruz Say Harris Incapable Of Defending Own Policy

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) commented during a post-debate analysis on his “Verdict” podcast that the key takeaway from the debate was Vice President Kamala Harris’s inability to defend her record in the Biden-Harris administration.

Speaking with co-host Ben Ferguson, Cruz broke down the performances of both President Donald Trump and Harris during the ABC News debate, emphasizing that Harris struggled to justify the administration’s policies and decisions.

“What tonight illustrated is that Kamala Harris is utterly incapable of defending her own record,” he said. “What we saw tonight, this was her stump speech, and this was her DNC convention speech, cut into sound bites and repeated.”

Ted Cruz pointed out that during the debate, Vice President Kamala Harris sidestepped questions from the Democrat-friendly moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis.

One of the key questions she avoided, according to Cruz, was whether people are better off today under the Biden administration or during Donald Trump’s presidency. Cruz emphasized this as a significant moment, underscoring her reluctance to directly address the comparison.

“Kamala refused to answer it at all,” he said. “She didn’t say yes. She didn’t say people’s lives are better. She said nothing at all. If I were to predict, we’re not going to see Kamala emerge from the basement until Election Day. It’s like the groundhog until she sees her shadow on election day, she doesn’t get to come out of the basement.”

The debate proved that Kamala Harris is utterly incapable of defending her own record. She can't claim with a straight face that Americans are better off now than they were four years ago.

He said that Harris might be able to get away with not having to campaign because the media is so desperate for her to win that they’ll cover for her.

“they were going to say that whatever happened — she could literally fall to the ground and start screaming and wailing and kicking her feet in the air — and they would say she won. So that that was going to be the narrative regardless, I will say what we learned is she doesn’t have a good answer to her own record,.”
