Kamala Harris botched another easy layup at the CNN town hall event in Delaware Country, Pennsylvania, where the vice president, desperate and flailing, opted to talk more about Donald Trump than her vision of the future. It’s not entirely her fault—Kamala lacks the intelligence to articulate her agenda. It’s also the same as the Biden presidency, whose approval ratings are in the toilet.

Kamala couldn’t outline a position on Israel, couldn’t explain her supposed 180-degree turn on immigration, and remains incapable of describing how she’d be different than Joe Biden. How is that still a problem? It’s the most predictable question she’ll ever face, and Kamala still botches it. The incompetence is stunning. It’s a genuine lack of respect for the voters, as if they don’t care or know the difference. It keeps getting asked, fellas. That’s the clue.

CNN: You've been in the White House for four years. Why haven't you done any of this already?KAMALA: "I'm pointing out things that need to be done that haven't been done that need to be done."😳 pic.twitter.com/Ia5z5BSVXX— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 24, 2024Kamala is asked how she will be different than Biden.

How is she so awful at answering basic questions? pic.twitter.com/J8EYH6x9i9— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) October 24, 2024Her awkwardness is also an issue. When asked about what her weaknesses are, she plainly said it was hanging around smart people—I’m not kidding:"What weaknesses do you bring to the table?"Kamala Harris: "Perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's a strength. I really do value having a team of very smart people around me!" pic.twitter.com/JEiMAY9dv9— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) October 24, 2024When asked about immigration and whether taxpayer-funded benefits will be allocated to these illegal aliens, Kamala answered that she was a prosecutor:VOTER: Will American citizens pay for the benefits and subsidies of illegal aliens, and if so, how much money will be allocated?KAMALA: I used to be a prosecutor! pic.twitter.com/FKQFWxqU2v— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 24, 2024What about the cost of living?

Kamala’s CNN Town Hall was an unmitigated disaster. CNN anchor Jake Tapper admits that Kamala failed to answer any questions and directed everything towards hating Trump. Even anchor Dana Bash admits Kamala’s performance did not “close the deal”. 

Kamala is shockingly dumb, she can’t answer a single question. The Kamala campaign is a sinking ship. The joy is gone, you can see how desperate they are getting.
