With Kamala Harris set to make her “closing argument” on the Washington Mall on Tuesday evening, she did several interviews throughout the day to prime her big moment. At this point, it’s likely no great surprise that they didn’t go well. Despite just a week remaining before election day, Harris has still not worked out answers to basic questions about her record.

Reporter: “Why haven’t you done any of it already?”
Kamala: “I’m not President”
Reporter: “You’re Vice President.”
Kamala: “I’m gonna tell you what I’m doing as president when I have the ability, then, to do what I know based on my experience.”
