 Vice President Kamala Harris struggled in a friendly interview that airs this week to competently answer questions surrounding her economic agenda.

Harris sat down for an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that was taped last week and is set to air on Monday night as part of a special election episode.

“My plan is about saying that when you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen America’s economy,” Harris told correspondent Bill Whitaker. “Small businesses are part of the backbone of America’s economy.”

“But pardon me, Madam Vice President, the question was, how are you going to pay for it?” Whitaker responded.

“Well, one of the things I’m going to make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes,” Harris answered. “It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations. And I plan on making that fair.”

 

Whitaker fired back: “But we’re dealing with the real world here.”

“How are you going to get this through Congress?” he asked.

Harris responded by saying that members of Congress know what she’s talking about “because their constituents know exactly what I’m talking about.”

She did not answer the question.
