Harris takes questions at NABJ Interview weeks after Trump questioned her heritage

[kberken]

Yes, there is a difference between a conversation like this and a rally where she talks to crowds of thousands and has to be more dramatic and outgoing. Here she is calm, thoughtful, articulate, intelligent, knowledgeable, informative, in charge. Gee, what a breath of fresh air! Not whining, not complaining, no grudges, no blaming others, no crazy conspiracy theories, no fear mongering. Just answering questions directly and well. Kamala Harris is my next president! 💙💙💙💙💯

[JolynBowler]

Thank you to the NABJ for hosting our next President. Thank you to MSNBC for covering the conference. 💙🌻💙

[TheBazeaus]

She answered every single question, in detail, and was sincere in her responses.

[JayDKB]

I don't understand why people felt she couldn't do an interview like if you've ever seen her on the house floor questioning witnesses, you'd know she has her stuff together. I hope she wins.

[kjFL]

She’s thoughtful in her responses, professional and presidential. Such a contrast. She’s strong, assertive and she won’t back down. Speaking from her mind and her heart. I love how she treated those journalists with the respect they deserve! Great job, journalists!

[theraldeltrn]

Not once did I hear anything about how horrible the country is, she actually has plans and not just concepts, she did not say anything bad about Trump supporters, she was well spoken, she did not play the victim.

[cornemoll]

This is just so comforting to listen to and think, Thank goodness for some normalcy. She really has the good of the people at heart. No drama and ego and lies and racism. Go Kamala!

[sangvannarath]

THIS is what a mature leader looks like! My American friends, please vote BLUE!

[eugenebell]

Watching this in the UK🇬🇧 . Even more impressed at the straight forward approach of Harris. No word salad or cackling here.
I’m rooting for the people of America to vote 💙

[JasonGlisson]

Great questions and she did a good job of answering them all.

[wgpcc]

Calm collected empathetic honest pragmatic inspirational and presidential, well done VP Kamala and hopefully President Kamala Harris 👍🇺🇸

[strayargus]

As someone who voted for Trump I feel deeply ashamed for my action when I placed my vote for a selfish and narcissistic millionaire who has nothing in common with me. The country was in chaos and division as I saw it with my own eyes in Trump administration. I don’t like all her responses but most of what she has said makes a lot of sense. I’m voting for Harris/Walz in November because we need to erase MAGA from our politics.

[marrobbart]

She is obviously *very* intelligent, and very accomplished. I look forward to her presidency.

[robfuzz]

She is not only a smart person, but thoughtful and dedicated. I do NOT expect her to have ALL the answers to EVERYTHING. She has plans (as opposed to concepts of plans) and some issues are too complex to issue quick pat answers. Governing will take more than her. It takes cooperation with Congress and the judicial system. We don't have kings or queens. One thing I DO know for a fact: Kamala cares about me and Trump cares about himself.

[godwinodunze]

For those naysayers that disparage her intelligence, they need to listen to this session in it's entirety.

[chorjiako]

Great interview! She followed a simple strategy - Just don't be weird.

[LucasGotit]

Wow, that was the her best interview. Finally she feels comfortable answering questions about her plans without sounding preachy

[chrismoe]

She nailed it. She clearly states her policies and plans that everyone can benefit from, especially black folks. Donald doesn't do that at all. HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!!🔵🌊💯🇺🇸🦅🫡

[marysturino]

Is this on national TV? It should be

[philreal]

She speaks just like a normal person and talks about normal people problems
