Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris claimed in an interview on Tuesday that because she’s “not president,” she has not been able to do anything about the top issues Americans are concerned about. The exchange between Harris and Wisconsin’s WISN 12 News reporter Matt Smith went like this:

Smith: “I think what some voters are struggling with, and we’ve heard this across the state, is when you discuss your plans, they come back and ask, ‘Well, why haven’t you done it already?’”

Harris: “Well, I’m not president.”

Smith: “You’re vice president, with all due respect.”

Harris: “Yeah, exactly. But I’m going to tell you what I’m doing as president when I have the ability then to do what I know based on my experience, is a new approach that is about building on the good work that has happened. But there’s more to do. There’s more to do.”

Harris went on to say that “no administration can fix everything,” but that change is about seeing “what can be new work that is done to deal with long-standing challenges.” Ultimately, the vice president concluded, “There are things that are in front of us.” Despite her word salad, there is no record of Harris actually answering the question.

Although, in an interview with The View in early October, Harris seemed to hold a different opinion on her ability to act as vice president when she was asked about what she would have handled differently than President Joe Biden over the last four years. Her response was, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” Harris also went on to take credit for some of what occurred under the Biden administration, stating, “I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”

Regardless of how Harris believes her role as vice president plays out, her comments come as America faces economic challenges, an open border allowing millions of illegal immigrants to enter the country, a significant uptick in violent crime, and notable threats to national security. Polling throughout this election cycle has repeatedly shown the concern over the economy as the top issue for voters on both sides of the aisle. However, outside of the economy, the top five issues for Democrats and Republicans do differ considerably.

According to a Gallup poll from this month, Republicans are most concerned about the economy, immigration, terrorism, national security, crime, and taxes. Democrats, on the other hand, are focused on democracy in the U.S., the type of Supreme Court justices each candidates would pick, abortion, health care, and education. Notably, abortion is one of the few areas where Harris, on several occasions, has made her views clear. Just last week, she explicitly stated her support for unrestricted, unregulated abortion, which she considers a fundamental right, that would include no religious exemptions.

When it comes to responding to the claims Harris has made, especially in connection to the election one week away, Meg Kilgannon, a senior fellow at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand, “The closing message from Trump is: ‘She broke it, I’ll fix it.’” Conversely, Harris’s “closing message is as hard to understand as her confusion over exactly what role she played in the Biden administration.”

Amid this confusion, Kilgannon believes this much is clear to the American people: “[S]he lied for many years about President Biden’s cognitive decline [and] his ability to serve as an executive for the American people.” Ultimately, “this fundamental dishonesty, along with her radically progressive worldview, is what disqualifies her in the minds of many voters.” And “as a woman,” Kilgannon sighed, “it grieves me to contemplate such a committed abortion promoter as the first woman president. The American Dream does not require abortion.” Rather, it is “quite the opposite.”

Kilgannon concluded, “I’m praying that voters who still believe in the promise of rights endowed by Our Creator will overwhelm the polls to vote for candidates who support biblical values.”
