‘We’re going to have to raise corporate taxes,’ Vice President Kamala Harris said when quizzed on how she would pay for her economic plans

She neglected to say the details of her plan, which include a new 25 percent minimum tax on people worth more than $100 million, a capital gains hike, and an increase in the corporate tax to 28 percent.

Ruhle herself said after the interview that ‘she doesn’t answer the question … Where is she going to get the money from?’

‘She said we just have to do it. And that’s great and that’s a campaign promise,’ she added.

The moment came in an interview where Harris blasted Trump for wanting to extend the array of his 2017 tax cuts.

‘The facts remain that Donald Trump has a history of taking care of very rich people, and I’m not mad at anybody for being rich, but they should pay their fair share,’ Harris said.

Harris said her plan would cut taxes for 100 million American, protecting those earning less than $400,000 per year.

She talked about building an economy where people have an ‘ability to buy a home, to start a business, to take a nice vacation from time to time.’

She also responded to Trump’s claims she never worked at McDonald’s by revealing reciting one of the fast food chain’s famous jingles.

But the candidate avoided major stumbles, after facing pressure from Republicans and the media to do more interviews.

Ruhle also asked Harris how she could raise taxes on corporations without sending them overseas where taxes were cheaper.

‘I work with a lot of CEOs I have spent a lot of time with CEOs, let me tell you that the business leaders that are actually part of the engine of America’s economy agree that people should pay their fair share,’ she said.

Harris avoided mostly avoided stumbles in a relatively safe space, on a day when she was campaigning in battleground Pennsylvania while Trump was hammering her in battleground North Carolina.

Her first interview since her ascent, on CNN, featured more stumbles.

She finds herself in a tight race with Donald Trump, who delivered a speech on his economic plans this week in Georgia where he vowed to ‘take other countries’ jobs’ and once again slid into attacks on his rivals.

President Biden’s budget calls for hiking taxes for corporations and upper income earners to raise an estimated $5 trillion.

Kamala Harris ripped as ‘pathetic’ for choosing first one-on-one interview with MSNBC host who defended her dodging the press

Kamala Harris is finally sitting down for her first major one-on-one interview since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate – with an MSNBC host who vehemently defended her strategy of dodging the press.

The vice president’s decision to appear for a pre-recorded, solo conversation with Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday night sparked widespread mockery and claims she won’t be asked any serious questions before the election.

The news sparked an immediate reaction from former Donald Trump’s running mate Sen. JD Vance.

This is legitimately pathetic for a person who wants to be president,’ he wrote. ‘Ruhle has explicitly endorsed Harris. She won’t ask hard questions.’

Ruhle sparked fury from MAGA supporters over the weekend after she went on Bill Maher’s HBO show, called Donald Trump a ‘threat to Democracy’ and defended Harris as ‘not perfect’

Trump responded by calling Ruhle ‘dumb as a rock’ and a ‘bimbo’ in a scathing Truth Social post.

 During an appearance on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday, Rule defended Harris for dodging interviews and avoiding specific questions.

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens said that before he voted for Harris, she should sit down and answer serious questions from journalists.

‘I don’t think it’s a lot to ask her to sit down for a real interview as opposed to a puff piece, which she describes, like her, her feelings of growing up in Oakland with nice lawns,’ he grumbled, sparking outrage from Ruhle.

‘I would just say to that, when you move to Nirvana, give me your real estate broker’s number and I’ll be your next door neighbor,’ she said mockingly. ‘We don’t live there.’

Ruhle said that voters knew enough about Trump to vote for Harris, despite her lack of interviews, and that it was an easy choice without hearing more about her

‘Kamala Harris isn’t running for perfect. She’s running against Trump,’ she said. ‘We have two choices. And so there are some things you might not know her answer to. And in 2024, unlike 2016, for a lot of the American people, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is and the kind of threat he is to democracy.’

Ruhle is a supporter of Harris, even taking to social media to berate Republicans for pronouncing her name wrong.

‘Good news for Sen. David Perdue, he no longer has to struggle with the pronunciation of Kamala Harris’s name,’ she wrote after the 2020 presidential election. ‘I’m confident he knows how to say Madame Vice President.’

Ruhle’s appearance on Bill Maher’s show sparked a reaction from former President Donald Trump, who described her as a ‘dumb as a rock bimbo.’

 The interview airs Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. EST.
