In a recent interview on "Face the Nation," Sen. Tom Cotton expressed concerns about Vice President Kamala Harris and urged the media to scrutinize her positions more closely. Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, asserted that once the American people become better acquainted with Harris and her radical views, they will not want her to lead the nation.

Cotton criticized Harris for assuming the role of presumptive Democratic nominee without providing opportunities for unscripted moments or fielding questions from the press. He emphasized the importance of holding her accountable for her stances on issues such as energy and gun policy.

"Kamala Harris has been the presumptive nominee for two weeks now, and she hasn't answered a single question," Cotton remarked. He further emphasized that the media has a duty to subject Harris to the same level of scrutiny as nominees who have gone through the traditional primary process, highlighting the extensive testing undergone by past nominees like Donald Trump in 2016 and Barack Obama in 2008.

According to Cotton, Harris has been avoiding direct interaction with the press since receiving President Biden's endorsement. "She can't dodge the press for another 13 weeks," he cautioned.

These comments come at a time when voter enthusiasm surrounding the Democratic ticket has been reinvigorated after President Biden's decision to step aside and pass the baton to Harris. Recent CBS News polling indicates that Harris currently holds a 1-point edge over former President Donald Trump in nationwide popularity, a feat that Biden did not achieve during his campaign. The survey also reveals a tight race between Harris and Trump in battleground states across the country.

As the election season progresses, it remains to be seen how Harris will address these concerns raised by Sen. Cotton and how the media will respond to his call for greater scrutiny. The American public awaits further insight into Harris' policy positions and her ability to lead the nation if given the opportunity.
