It's been 39 days since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and ceded his status as the Democratic Party's nominee to Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Thursday night, the American public will see Harris sit for her first formal interview in that 39-day span with CNN's Dana Bash, alongside her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.).
During an appearance on Mobile radio FM Talk 106.5's "The Jeff Poor Show," U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) blamed the media for Harris' lack of vetting and the failure to hold her accountable for her failures during her three-and-a-half years as Biden's vice president.
"[I] think, look Jeff, the American people deserve answers," Britt declared. "I mean, and if you look at the media, the same people who told us that Joe Biden was strong and energetic are now telling us that Kamala Harris is moderate. We truly, she continues to flip-flop back and forth. We have no idea where she'll land, but what we know is that our country is weaker and more vulnerable every day that she and Joe Biden are in office. And make no mistake, here at the DNC, we heard over and over again, we need change. Kamala Harris gives us hope. I mean, lest they not forget, Kamala Harris is in office right now. So when you're asking for change, you're actually asking for change from her. And if you look back at the last 16 years, Democrats have held the White House, 12 of them, Republicans have only been in office four."
"So, when we look at the disaster at our border, when we look at the fact that the world is on fire when we look at the fact that your dollar does not go as far and everyday families are hurting — that lays solely at the feet of Kamala Harris," she continued. "We know she is not capable of fixing any of these things because the policies that she believes in, which by the way are even more radical than Joe Biden's, have put us in the position that we are in now. And the one thing that she had a chance to fix, she has made us astronomically worse, and that is the disaster at the southern border. And so America is smarter than this. And they are going to remember and going to see that the media is not demanding answers from her. Here you have President Trump and JD Vance that are answering every question, walking into every room, doing press conference after press conference, talking about policy, answering nuanced questions."
"And you have Kamala Harris, who they continue to protect," Britt added. "The media is solely responsible for where we are right now in this election cycle and the fact that they are not demanding that she answer questions. They should be better than this, but unfortunately, they're proving to us once again, that they're in the pockets of the Democrat oligarchs that have hand-selected and coronated Kamala Harris as their nominee, and they are hopeful that they can all work together to get her across the finish line before America wakes up and realizes that her policies will make America less safe and less strong across the board."
