Speaking to Fox News Channel host Bret Baier for her disaster of an interview that was released on the night of Wednesday, October 16, Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris rambled about why she doesn’t hold the public’s trust on key economic issues whereas the former president, Donald Trump, does.
Speaking about the matter, VP Harris first rambled about “young parents” and small business, saying, “I’m offering a plan to deal with what we need to do to strengthen small businesses, which are the backbone of America’s economy. I am offering a plan that is about taking care of young parents and giving them the support they need.”
She continued, claiming that economic analysts support her economic plan, an idea the CEO of Goldman Sachs downplayed, saying, “My plans for the economy will strengthen the economy, as have been reviewed by 16 Nobel laureates, Goldman Sachs, Moody’s and recently The Wall Street Journal, which have all studied our plans and have indicated my plans for our economy would strengthen our economy. [Trump’s] would make them weaker, would ignite inflation and invite a recession by the middle of next year. Those are the facts.”
For reference, an impartial, non-partisan study of VP Harris’s economic agenda carried out by the Penn Wharton Budget Model found that her plan would not only add over $1 trillion to the deficit, but cut GDP by 1.3% over the next decade. It would also, Penn found, cut economic growth by roughly 3% by 2054. Trump’s plan would, they found, add more to the deficit but hamper GDP by much less.
In any case, Harris, continuing her ramble about economics, said, “I think that when you look at an analysis of our plans for what we would do as President of the United States, it has been clear to those who study and understand how economic policy works that moving forward, because I do believe the American people are ready to turn the page on the divisiveness and the type of rhetoric that has come out of Donald Trump.”
She then claimed that Trump would only help the megawealthy, saying, “People are ready to chart a new way forward, and they want a president who has a plan for the future and a plan that is sound and will strengthen our country. My plan for the economy does exactly that. [Trump’s] plan would be, again, to give tax cuts to billionaires and the biggest corporations in our country and blow up our deficit.”

Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, in a statement, that Harris “couldn’t give a straight answer to a single question because she has no answers.” Continuing, Leavitt added, “Kamala’s entire campaign is based on lies about President Trump. Kamala can’t handle the pressure of an interview with Fox News — she certainly can’t handle the pressure of being President of the United States.”
Trump, for his part, said, “Great job by Bret Baier in his Interview with Lyin’ Kamala Harris. She has a massive and irredeemable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME – So bad, in fact, that she is barely able to talk about any subject other than the man who had the best economy ever, the strongest border in history, and who just got the UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT OF THE U.S. Border Patrol, ME! Their Endorsement was a TREMENDOUS HONOR!!! They said that Comrade Kamala did a terrible job, the absolute worst in memory, and can’t be allowed to do it again.”
He continued, “She is also the WORST Vice President in history, but hopefully will soon be GONE. Again, congratulations to Bret Baier on a tough but very fair interview, one that clearly showed how totally incompetent Kamala is. For the good of our Nation, her inferior Cognitive ability must be tested at once!”
