Vice President Kamala Harris has begun selling herself as more capable than Donald Trump at building consensus on Capitol Hill as she is scheduled this week to head to Sun Belt swing states and the former president focuses hard on must-win Pennsylvania.
During a wide-ranging interview with “60 Minutes” that aired Monday night, the vice president was asked to explain why voters tell pollsters they are unsure about her policy stances and beliefs — especially because she has shifted on issues like fracking. She did not answer directly, instead making a pitch about getting things done, if elected.
“In the last four years I have been vice president of the United States. And I have been traveling our country. And I have been listening to folks and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in building consensus. We are a diverse people. Geographically, regionally, in terms of where we are in our backgrounds.
