Vice President Kamala Harris candidly acknowledged a personal weakness during a CNN town hall this week, admitting that she is not always quick at making on-the-spot decisions.
When asked by Joe Donahue, a store worker, about the weaknesses she brings to the table and how she plans to address them, Harris shared an honest reflection on her decision-making process.
She explained that while she may not always have an immediate answer to a specific policy question,
she prefers to take the time to thoroughly research and consider the issue before responding. “I’m going to want to study it.
I’m kind of a nerd sometimes, I confess,” Harris said, acknowledging that this approach may be seen as a weakness,
especially in fast-paced environments like interviews where quick responses are expected. “Some might call that a weakness, but that’s how I work,” she added.
Harris also admitted that she occasionally leans too heavily on her team when it comes to making decisions, further underscoring her belief in collaboration.
“I’m certainly not perfect. I think that perhaps a weakness some would say,
that I actually think is a strength, is that I really do value having a team
of very smart people around me who bring different perspectives to my decision-making process,” she explained.
“My team will tell you I am constantly saying, let’s kick the tires on that.”
This candid admission came amid mounting polls suggesting that the race for the White House is shifting in favor of former President Donald Trump.
With less than a week remaining until Election Day, new data points to Trump’s growing advantage.
According to Nate Silver’s latest projections, Trump is poised to win key battleground states, giving him a 24.4%
chance of winning all seven critical swing states in the 2024 election—a scenario considered the most likely outcome.
By contrast, Harris’ chances of securing a victory in all battleground states are estimated at just 15.6%.
However, the forecast indicates that if Harris were to win all the swing states except Arizona and Georgia,
where Trump currently holds the lead, she would still have a path to victory. These shifting dynamics underscore the intensifying competition as the race heads into its final days.
