Harris Would Prefer Not to Discuss Her Race or Gender

New York Times: “Mr. Trump set off a blitz of negative headlines when he falsely suggested that Ms. Harris had identified as Black only later in life, and for political gain. It was an absurd assertion, and the vice president has sought to cut off oxygen to it.”

Said Harris, in her CNN interview: “Same old, tired playbook. Next question, please.”

Asked if she had anything to add, Harris replied: “That’s it.”

“Even after a softball question about a viral New York Times photo of her niece watching her speak at the Democratic convention, Ms. Harris refused to lean into the prospect of becoming the first Black woman elected as president.”
