“When she was running for president in 2019, she bought into a lot of things — and she did — and that background was a lot of things, a lot of candidates, a lot of Democrats,” Tapper said. was running on the left, not the eventual winner, President Biden.” — But she also participated, raising her hand when asked if she supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings. …I understand that today's message is tougher than the position she embraced in 2019 when she was running for president and trying to compete in the Democratic primary. There, her base wanted her to be more liberal and more progressive on these issues. Why did she see this issue the way she did in 2019 and why she has evolved and [has] A different position today? ”
