Host Stephanie Ruhle, \u2062during a recent appearance \u200don &#8220;Real \u2064Time With Bill Maher,&#8221; defended Harris\u2019s tendency to dodge specific policy questions, emphasizing that Harris is not expected to provide perfect answers because she is running against Donald Trump, who she deemed a significant threat to democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Ruhle\u2019s comments arose \u2064amidst criticism from others, including New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, who\u2062 argued that voters deserve clarity on Harris&#8217;s stance on important issues. Ruhle downplayed the need for concrete answers from Harris, \u200dsuggesting that voters\u200d are already familiar with Trump\u2019s policies and\u2063 the risks he\u200d poses. This\u2064 perspective aligns\u2063 with Harris&#8217;s strategy to distance herself from her role as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> during the Biden \u200badministration, attempting to redirect \u200cfocus onto Trump instead.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming interview marks Harris\u2019s \u200dsecond discussion with a supportive interviewer, following a \u200cprevious chat with Oprah Winfrey. Critics, however, are calling for more substantive interviews rather than\u200c &#8220;puff pieces.&#8221; Harris has \u2064been scrutinized \u2064for\u200d her lack of direct responses \u2064in interviews since assuming her candidacy,\u200c raising questions about\u2062 her approach \u2064as\u200c the\u200d campaign progresses.  <\/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<div>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris hasn&rsquo;t participated in many interviews since she replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee. Her next sitdown, however, will be with an MSNBC host who just this weekend defended the Democrat&rsquo;s penchant for dodging policy questions.<\/p>\n<p>MSNBC&rsquo;s &ldquo;The 11th Hour&rdquo; host Stephanie Ruhle is slated to chat with Harris just days after she excused the incumbent&rsquo;s obfuscation about American voters&rsquo; top concerns and called former President Donald Trump a &ldquo;threat to democracy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Kamala Harris is not running for perfect. She&rsquo;s running against Trump,&rdquo; Ruhle said during her appearance on &ldquo;Real Time With Bill Maher.&rdquo; The comments were directed at fellow guest Bret Stephens, New York Times columnist, who complained that it&rsquo;s &ldquo;not too much&rdquo; to expect Harris to answer specific domestic and foreign policy questions.<\/p>\n<p>One of Harris&rsquo; top campaign strategies is attempting to trick voters into believing she was <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/09\/kamala-harris-debate-strategy-is-making-voters-forget-shes-the-vice-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">never vice president<\/a> and is not responsible for the chaos and crises that plague the Biden administration.

And so there are some things you might not know her answer to, and in 2024, unlike 2016 for a lot of the American people, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy,&rdquo; Ruhle said. Her response prompted Trump to refer to her on Truth Social as <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/113175545828459834\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;&lsquo;dumb as a rock&rsquo; bimbo Stephanie Ruhle, from MSDNC.&rdquo;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Stephanie, the problem that a lot of people have with Kamala is we don&rsquo;t know her answer to anything,&rdquo; Stephens countered.<\/p>\n<p>Ruhle continued her justification of Harris&rsquo; cop-outs by claiming &ldquo;But we know his answer to everything.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>This will make Harris&rsquo; second sit down with someone who supports her candidacy (Oprah being the other). <\/p>\n<p>Here is Ruhle last Friday: &ldquo;Kamala Harris is not running for perfect.
