Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, a top surrogate for Kamala Harris, found herself in the crosshairs of a frustrated Joe Kernen.
The veteran reporter bluntly called out Harris’s unprecedented lack of transparency and avoidance of tough interviews.
Raimondo initially attempted to defend Kamala, emphasizing Kamala’s “crystal clear” values and efforts to connect with the American people, particularly businesses.
“She’s reaching out to me, she’s reaching out to businesses,” Raimondo stated, hoping to steer the conversation towards Harris’s outreach to key economic stakeholders.
But Kernen was having none of it. He criticized Kamala’s 41-day stretch without any substantial press appearances, save for a single, heavily edited interview that failed to provide much clarity on her policies or intentions.
