Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance has criticized Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris for struggling to answer questions about her economic and foreign policy agendas in her CBS News interview.

The “60 Minutes” interview with CBS News’ Bill Whitaker, which aired on Oct. 7, focused on her past statements, early positions and campaign promises on the economy, immigration, foreign affairs and more. However, when asked about her proposed substantial tax hikes for the wealthiest Americans, Harris claimed that “the richest Americans pay their fair share,” but did not provide specific details.

“I’m going to make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations,” she said. She even criticized the economic policies of former president Donald Trump in her initial response.

In turn, Whitaker pressed for clarity, asking how she intends to navigate Congress to pass these proposals. Harris, in a seemingly unfocused reply, said: “Well, you know when you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress, they know exactly what I’m talking about because their constituents know exactly what I’m talking about.”

The interview also delved into U.S. relations with Israel, particularly regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But when asked about the influence of America in the Middle East, Harris offered another ambiguous answer. “The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” she said.

Obviously, Vance wasn’t impressed. “This is not a person who is competent enough to be president of the United States,” Vance wrote on his official account on X, along with the video clip of the interview.

Harris blames Trump for the missteps of the current administration

Harris was also asked about her stance on the current immigration policies and the conflict in Ukraine, only to put the blame on Trump.

Whitaker asked Harris whether the initial border policies of the Biden administration, which allowed a historic surge of immigrants, was a mistake. Harris defended the administration and claimed that the administration had been proactive since taking office.

“It’s a long-standing problem, and solutions are at hand, and from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions,” Harris said, pointing to ongoing attempts to advocate for an immigration bill in Congress. Whitaker questioned her further about the long-standing nature of the border issue, but Harris did not admit to any policy missteps. Instead, she cited recent changes that have reportedly decreased illegal border crossings and criticized Trump for intervening with the recent immigration bill.

“Donald Trump got word that this bill was afoot and could be passed, and he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem, so he told his buddies in Congress, ‘Kill the bill. Don’t let it move forward,'” she said.

Whitaker also asked Harris on how she would handle the ongoing and escalating Russia-Ukraine war if elected as president.

“Ukraine must have a say in the future of Ukraine,” she said, claiming she would not negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war without Ukraine. “Donald Trump, if he were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now. Let’s be clear about that. He talks about, ‘Oh, he can end it on Day One.’ You know what that is? It’s about surrender.”
