Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris has an instinct to support far-left policies despite trying to paint herself as a moderate.

Harris said he would not take advice from pollsters and follow his own instincts about the most effective way to campaign, CNN informed. McEnany asked Fox News' “America's Newsroom” whether Harris' attempts to recast herself as a moderate candidate will be effective ahead of the 2024 election.

“We've seen little hints of what his instincts are. Going over the top [Democratic Pennsylvania Gov.] Josh Shapiro, price control economic plan, which has been widely seen as a bad idea,” McEnany said. “His instincts are progressive, but he's trying to protect it with a moderate venire, will it work?”

“I remember Mario Cuomo saying that you campaign in poetry and govern in prose. Well, get ready to overdose on poetry this week. That didn't go well, so you'll see poetry, broad strokes, cost-cutting paintings without much detail or footnote on how to do it. It will be grand, but it will be wide. And that's where the debate is so important for Trump to clarify the details,” McEnany said.
