Vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared shocked during an interview with 60 Minutes this weekend after being reminded that she is one of the most liberal senators in Washington. She co-sponsored Medicare for All and endorsed the Green New Deal, as CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell pointed out. She opposes nearly all restrictions on abortion and regularly advocates for tax increases. But all Harris could offer in response to this point was a forced laugh that did little to assuage voters’ fear that she is the Trojan horse for leftism that President Trump has warned about.

The exchange between O’Donnell and Harris, though brief, revealed that Harris and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden have not thought through their campaign pitch. Biden is supposed to be the centrist running to uphold norms and restore decency, and Harris is supposed to be the person who helps him do that. But no one believes Biden will stand up to the Left’s power grab, given his unwillingness to condemn efforts to pack the Supreme Court and end the Senate’s filibuster. And voters need only look at Harris’s voting record to realize that she is no moderate, nor has she ever been.
