White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre could not name a single one of Vice President Kamala Harris’ policy achievements when asked by a reporter.
The White House, the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media have consistently covered for Harris and her running mate, radical leftist Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), since she became the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee. This coverup includes protecting her from tough questions, as Harris has not held a single unscripted press conference since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her. They have also refused to call her out for not listing a single policy position on her campaign website, despite doing several generic rallies over the past week with the Democrat National Convention being just one week away.

As Harris has refused to put forward a plan for her presidency or officially endorse any policies, one reporter questioned Jean-Pierre during a press briefing about the vice president’s policy achievements.
“What does the president see as the vice president’s biggest achievement during their time in office together?” the reporter asked Jean-Pierre.
The press secretary refused to provide an actual answer, prompting many on social media to question whether Harris is trying to distance herself from the Biden-Harris administration’s actions and policies or whether they simply can’t think of a single thing that Harris has achieved.
“So look, because they’ve been partners … certainly those historic, unprecedented achievements have been done together,” Jean-Pierre responded. “I’ll say this, the president believes in the vice president’s leadership, her temperament, her experience. And he has said this himself, one of the proudest decisions he made in 2020 was selecting her as vice president because he believed she could go on day one.”
“I’m not going to parse out anything from here,” she continued. “They have been partners. She’s been a critical partner for this president during this term, and we’ll continue to do so.”
“There’s no specific policy, it’s a comprehensive whole?” the reporter pressed.
“I would say it’s a comprehensive whole,” she replied. “The Biden-Harris accomplishments are the Biden-Harris accomplishments. She’s played a role, whether it is being on the floor of the Senate, getting really important legislation to pass through, or being in a room with the president and trying to figure out how to move forward strategically with a policy or how to make tough decisions on behalf of the American people, she’s been there.”
NEW: Karine Jean Pierre can't give an answer after a reporter asked her to name Kamala Harris' biggest achievement as vice president.
No achievements, no policy and she won't even sit down for an interview.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump — who has made his policy positions and achievements clear on his platform since the start of his presidential campaign — has called Harris out for flip-flopping on the few issues that she has taken a public stance on in recent weeks.
In a post on Truth Social, the Republican presidential nominee argued that Harris “has flip-flopped on virtually every policy she has supported and lived by for her entire career.”
Trump also pointed out that Harris has stolen his policies — including his advocacy for “no tax on tips” — in a desperate effort to appeal to the voters, asserting that she “sounds more like Trump than Trump, copying almost everything.”
Just last year the IRS under Biden-Harris made plans to crack down on tips.

“She is conning the American public, and will flip right back. I will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! There will be no flipping!!!” he added.
