WATCH: Kamala Harris Delivers Long-Winded, Vague Response When Asked About Day One Goals-LGT

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered yet another one of her signature “word salads” when asked what she would do on day one should she be elected president in November.

In her first interview since becoming the de-facto Democratic Party nominee nearly 40 days ago, Harris sat down with a left-leaning outlet in CNN. The interview has been widely viewed as unusual given the fact that Harris was flanked by her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, meaning that she has yet to sit for a solo interview.

Host Dana Bash began by asking the vice president would she would do in her first day in the Oval Office.

“Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you first and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think that people are ready for a new way forward, in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by hope and by optimism,” Harris replied without answering the question.

“I think sadly in the last decade we have had in the former president someone who has really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans, really dividing our nation, and I think people are ready to turn the page on that,” Harris continued.

Bash was eventually forced to once again Harris what she would do on day one, at which point she listed a number of policy goals that would need to pass through Congress.

“Day one, it’s going to be about, one, implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy. I’ve already laid out a number of proposals in that regard, which include what we’re going to do to bring down the cost of everyday goods, what we’re going to do to invest in families, for example extending the child tax credit to $6,000 for families for the first year of their child’s life,” Harris answered.

While the Harris-Walz Campaign has yet to release a formal policy plan despite early voting starting in just a few weeks, Harris has released a number of vague policy goals, including price-fixing on food items and $25,000 tax credits for “first generation home buyers.”
