Vice President Kamala Harris admitted that she isn’t good at making decisions on the spot while fielding questions from the public at a CNN town hall this week. Polls show that voters are going to former President Donald Trump.
“What weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them?” asked Joe Donahue, a store worker.
Harris replied that she “may not be quick to have the answer” about “a specific policy issue sometimes” because she likes to “research it” first.
“I’m going to want to study it. I’m kind of a nerd sometimes, I confess. “Some might call that a weakness, especially if you’re in an interview or just kind of being asked a certain question, and you’re expected to have the right answer right away. But that’s how I work,” Harris said.
During her long answer to the question, Harris also said that she sometimes relies too much on her team to make decisions.
“I’m certainly not perfect. I think that I perhaps, a weakness some would say, that I actually think is a strength is that I really do value having a team of very smart team around me who bring to my decision-making process, different perspectives. My team will tell you I am constantly saying, let’s kick the tires on that,” Harris continued.
