The event is not open to the public; however it will be live-streamed, here:

[nolabear]

7. Thanks! A must watch.

Don’t let others cherry pick this. Watch yourself.

[malaise]

8. THIS

She’s slightly hoarse - hours of talking to go

[nolabear]

9. She is. My God she's smart and capable and collected.

Being able to not only articulate all this but to carefully stay on message about how these policies will help everyone is such a skill.

Oof…now talking re Gaza. Hard, hard subject.

[bigtree]

10. she's not going to let the press dictate her policy with their questions.

...she's stating a tradionally balanced approach, keeping our ally's needs in front of her decision making while pursuing her principles that benefit and protect our country.

In that, it's a continuous engagement navigating often uncertain actions by the sovereign state of Israel.

[malaise]

11. She just owned prime time news tonight with her response

Tomthe CONvicted felon and shady Vance. This is not new.
Tearing him a new one again.

[bigtree]

16. that long, impassioned statement on Springfield should be played over and over.

...along with the elevation of her office, it's the most comprehensive and inspiring statement I've heard yet.

Everyone should see that. A masterclass in leadership.

[Politicub]

21. The responsibility of a leader

She nailed the whole interview. But that moment, where she talked about how the president must be aware of the power of their words, exuded leadership.

There can be no doubt she has the temperament to be president. That’s something that hasn’t been brought up very much. But Harris has now placed that issue at the forefront.

[bigtree]

23. it's such a welcome difference to hear strength expressed through compassion and care

...instead of just the aggression and bluster we've been accustomed to.

It's an entirely new brand of leadership, and I'm here for it.

[malaise]

22. Nicole playing it now

😀😀

[nolabear]

12. They are not going easy on her either.

The gun questions are important and hard ones. She’s doing well but it’s a nasty problem to be sure.

[bigtree]

13. there isn't some mystery about what gun safety measures we need to take

..there should be some talk about WHO the obstacles are, including her rivals in this race, instead of insinuating that she's supposed to be able to do more with an executive office without comprehensive gun safety legislation.

A 'holistic' response, as she just said.

[malaise]

15. The best part of this is that she's letting M$Greedia know

That she’ll decide where she’s doing interviews😀

[bigtree]

19. this is major news, but DU will let this sink

...and later we'll have a 100 response thread on what the MSM says about it.

[malaise]

20. LOL

I love watching live for myself.

[malaise]

14. She's sharp - thinks quickly on her feet

Unlike the COnvicted felon and a shady, she knows the subject

[bigtree]

17. she told slobfather there's no place for political violence

...taking it right to the country's biggest booster of political violence.

[malaise]

18. Excellent

Well worth watching

[Wild blueberry]

24. Watched whole interview

Marvelous, clear, genuine leader. (Even with hoarse voice.) Journalists asked good questions. Appreciate being able to hear her respond at length.
Thank you.

[bigtree]

25. I could listen to her for hours

...she just gets better the closer she gets to the actual responsibility.

Such a refreshing thing to see her exude leadership on so many levels, on so many of our national concerns. The care she takes with it all is impressive and comforting.

[malaise]

26. Lots of coverage on networks

and cable

[bigtree]

27. the clips are all over the news

...there's a hunger out here for VP Harris' kind of leadership.

Love how her appearance is being held up as an example of normalcy against Trump's embarassing and insulting performance.

[malaise]

28. Hope. and

Joy😀
