In a panel discussion, Scott commended Vice President Kamala Harris for her &#8220;nuance&#8221; regarding her mixed-race background. She noted, &#8220;It has been quite significant for us reporters to recognize how she has addressed attacks on her racial identity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Scott faced backlash from Trump when she began a Q&amp;A session at the National Association of Black Journalists convention by questioning his previous remarks about black individuals and why they should support him. An annoyed Trump responded, &#8220;I think it\u2019s a very nasty question.&#8221; On This Week, she echoed a talking point from Harris\u2019s campaign while envisioning a debate between Harris and Trump: \u201cImagine that on the debate stage where you have a prosecutor possibly facing off against someone who has just been convicted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During Sunday\u2019s episode of This Week with George Stephanopoulos on ABC:<\/p>\n<p>GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: I was struck by how the vice president responded to your interview.

She is not engaging in that narrative; Democrats assert that \u201cshe knows who she is.\u201d Identifying as both black and Asian, why should she feel compelled to respond in such ways? Instead, she&#8217;s redirecting attention back to Donald Trump and Republicans by highlighting their divisive tactics while focusing on key issues.<\/p>\n<p>SUSAN PAGE, USA TODAY: I moderated her last debate in 2020\u2014the vice presidential one.
