During CNN's “The Situation Room” broadcast on Monday, CNN host and chief political correspondent Dana Bash said that “some” of Vice President Kamala Harris's change in position on 2024 Democratic presidential candidate is “real changes, like fracking,” and that some is because “she's now part of President Biden's campaign and then his administration,” and that the vice president cannot set his own policy.
After Harris said her values haven't changed and Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller said Harris' comments create an opportunity for her to pursue positions she has expressed in the past, Bash said former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, “will be pursuing her on some of these changes.” “And some of them are real changes, like fracking,” she explained after I asked why. “Some of them are changes that came about because she ran and then joined President Biden's campaign and then went into the administration. And, Mr. Wolf, you know, when you're vice president, you don't really get to make your own policies. That's what happens when you're at the top of the list of candidates, like she's doing now.” Talking to people in the Harris campaign, I think if Donald Trump does that, the Harris campaign has a ton of options to hit back at him. At least one of them is that Trump was once pro-abortion and then became anti-abortion, and appointed three justices to the Supreme Court, and then became a Republican. Roe v. WadeSo two people can play that game, and I'm guessing that's what she's practicing.”
