It's time for Harris to come off the fence and stop ducking questions, Varney argues
Stuart Varney: Democrats are shielding Kamala Harris in her first interview
‘Varney & Co.’ host Stuart Varney previewed Kamala Harris' first interview as the Democrat Party's presidential nominee.
During his "My Take" on Thursday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney called out Democrats for protecting Kamala Harris in her first formal sit-down interview as the Democratic presidential nominee with running mate Tim Walz.
STUART VARNEY: The strategy of the Harris campaign is to get their candidate, and her running mate, in front of a friendly camera and a friendly questioner on a Thursday night in high summer, right before a long holiday weekend.
It is Kamala Harris' first interview since Joe Biden left the campaign, and she's getting help. Tim Walz will be with her.

Harris is being shielded. Her campaign wants to avoid awkward questions about her flip-flops.
When and why did she change her mind on the border, the EV mandate, Medicare-for-all and fracking?
When did she know that Joe Biden was cognitively challenged and couldn't stay in the race?

Harris wants to gloss over all this, but voters deserve real answers to strong questions.
Her campaign, according to Axios, is badly split between holdovers from the Biden campaign and newcomers from the Obama camp, drafted in to shore up the new candidate.
This is quite a headline. "Inside the tension in Harris' ‘Frankenstein’ team."

She was reluctant to label herself politically.
That's not what we want now. It's time to come off the fence.
Strong questions. Clear answers. It won't help her campaign if she ducks.
