“You’ve gotten a lot of credit for emphasizing the humanity of Palestinians. But what I often hear from folks is that there is no policy change that either you or President Biden said you would do. Is there a policy change as president that you would do in our helping of Israel in this war?”
“We need to get this deal done,” Harris replied, “and we need to get it done immediately. And that is my position. And that is my policy.”
Daniels followed up. “But in the way that we send weapons and the way we interact as their ally, are there specific policy changes?”
Harris said that she was “entirely supportive” of the Biden administration’s decision to pause a shipment of weapons. She then quickly turned back to a need for a ceasefire agreement.
The line of questioning was the toughest Harris has faced on the issue, which remains a source of deep frustration among some Democratic voters over what they see as the party’s effort to push Gaza into the margins of political discourse. Harris’ answers on Tuesday, which relied heavily on boilerplate campaign points, are unlikely to quell that criticism.
Sorry how are those hard questions? Or just a sign of how little the press asks about it?
For current news, those were hard questions. I think just not accepting what the candidate says as facts and following up with detailed questions equals “hard questions” now.
Look how the news is treating Trumps mental decline compared to when his opponent was Biden.
I’d like someone to ask them their thoughts on the recent evidence that Israel was selling the weapons we’ve given them to Russia. So in a way, we’re supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine at the same time we’re supporting a genocide.

Well it’s obviously hard for Kamala or else she wouldn’t have weaseled around answering the question.

“Toughest yet” doesn’t necessarily mean objectively very tough.
