On Wednesday, CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris unnecessarily dodged some questions during her town hall with the network that night and “the word salad stuff gets on my nerves.”
Jones said, “[T]here were flashes of the Kamala that I know, who is really a true public servant.
She really does work for real people. In the back of her mind, she is trying to figure out, how do I solve the problem? She sometimes skips — even in person, she’ll sometimes skip the human part and get to the problem-solving part.
But there were flashes of it.
And I think the question if you’re at home trying to figure this out, you can ask, well, could she have done this, could she have done this better?
Your job isn’t to do town halls.
Your job is to fight for people.
Does she seem like somebody who is going to take seriously the problems of ordinary people and try to get an answer?
And I think that she — I think she passed that test.”
