During a recent episode of "CNN News Central," Harris Campaign Senior Adviser David Plouffe faced questions regarding Vice President Kamala Harris's past support for defunding the police. Co-host John Berman highlighted that Harris had the opportunity to clarify her evolving positions on various issues, including fracking, Medicare for All, and defunding the police, but only addressed fracking. Plouffe defended Harris by emphasizing her focus on health care, stating that she recognizes the importance of both employer-based health care and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). He contrasted her approach with that of Donald Trump, who he claimed has had numerous inconsistent positions on key issues. Plouffe concluded that voters will ultimately compare the future offerings of both candidates, suggesting that Harris's vision is more aligned with the needs of the American people.
