She compared \u200cthe justifications for Harris&#8217;s actions\u2062 to those\u200b made in defense\u2063 of President Joe Biden \u2064following his debate against former President Donald Trump. White and former Democratic state senator David Carlucci debated whether Harris and\u200d Trump should engage in more \u2064debates\u2063 to present their policies\u200c to the voters. During the discussion, \u200cCarlucci claimed Biden withdrew from\u200d the race due to a lack\u2064 of energy,\u2063 to which White responded skeptically, referencing Carlucci&#8217;s earlier confidence in Biden.\u200c She concluded that Harris\u2019s \u200cevasiveness suggests \u200cshe would serve as a figurehead if elected, similar to Biden. The conversation underscored concerns about both candidates engaging effectively with the electorate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kaylee McGhee White rebukes defense for Harris dodging press: &lsquo;Ironic&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1761906\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/kaylee-mcghee-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kaylee McGhee White<\/a> dismissed those defending Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> avoidance of the press on the campaign trail, comparing such arguments to people defending President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> after his debate against former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>White, the <em>Restoring America<\/em> editor for the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>, partook in a panel with David Carlucci, a former Democratic state senator from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>New York<\/a>, to discuss how the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-quickly-turns-desantis-debate-comment-into-a-campaign-ad\/\" title=\"Biden swiftly transforms DeSantis debate remark into campaign ad.\">recent presidential debate<\/a> did not shift much support to either Harris or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> Trump<\/a>.

As the Restoring America editor for the Washington Examiner, White participated in a panel discussion with David Carlucci, a former Democratic state senator from New York. They talked about how the latest presidential debate did not significantly change support for either Harris or Trump. Carlucci suggested that Harris and Trump should have another debate so that Harris can present her policies to voters, which led Fox News host Harris Faulkner to question why the vice president isn&#8217;t doing more interviews. He also mentioned that Biden opted not to run again because he &#8220;didn&#8217;t have the energy&#8221; to face Trump. After some back-and-forth on whether Harris should participate in another debate or conduct more interviews, Faulkner allowed White to make her final remarks. She pointed out how ironic it was for Carlucci to defend Biden&#8217;s lack of energy when he had previously claimed just days before Biden dropped out that he was poised for a comeback. In response, Carlucci reiterated his belief that both candidates should engage in debates while Faulkner emphasized that Harris needs to hold unscripted interviews and news conferences.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the discussion, White argued that by deliberately avoiding public engagement, Harris sends two messages: one being similar to Biden&#8217;s approach\u2014entering office as merely a figurehead\u2014and another suggesting she is campaigning as a centrist while likely governing more aligned with traditional Democratic values. Post-debate polling indicated support among 3,317 likely voters showed Harris leading Trump 50% to 45%, with only about a 1% increase in her backing after the debate. Recently, she conducted her first solo interview as a presidential candidate with a local Philadelphia station but did not provide new insights into her policies; instead claiming she is better qualified than Trump to unite the country amidst what she described as his campaign fostering &#8220;hate and division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2341882,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris-and-Biden-scaled-1024x684.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3998,4021,33560,4604,32076],"class_list":["post-2341881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-defense","tag-harris","tag-kaylee-mcghee-white","tag-press","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris-and-Biden-scaled-1024x684.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2341881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2341882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2341881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2341881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2341881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
