Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) dismissed criticism over Kamala Harris’s rhetorical shift away from the far-left, claiming she’s “moderated” her policy positions since becoming the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee.
“The truth of the matter is, yes, she’s come to the middle. She’s pragmatic, she’s a tough leader, she’s the leader we need for the future,” Polis said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Kamala surrogate Jared Polis says that Kamala has “moderated” on her Socialist polices.

“So again, while she may have in the past, ran on things, just as President Trump ran on single payer — supported single payer health care years ago and has moved away from that — Kamala Harris did support things that she’s now moderated.”
(For context on his laughable comparison, Trump said he was open to single payer healthcare 25 years ago. He condemned it in 2011 after witnessing the disastrous rollout of Obamacare, long before running for president in 2015.)
Polis argued that Harris is working to meet the priorities of all Americans regardless of their political affiliation.
“She’s going to be a president for all the American people,” he said. “Look, whether you’re conservative, whether you’re moderate, whether you’re liberal, I think you’re going to see a lot of your priorities reflected in President Harris, who’s really just out for the people, as she said, fighting to make housing more affordable, improve our schools, make education, more affordable and strengthen the jobs market.”
Polis also insisted Harris will do “a lot more interviews in the future,” citing her scheduled debate against former President Donald Trump on Sept. 10.
“She’s already taking questions at a number of different venues as she’s moving in and out,” he added.
Of course, Harris has been open about her radical left agenda while running in 2020, including ending the filibuster to force through a “Green New Deal,” defunding the police, gun confiscation, eliminating private insurance, state-funded healthcare for illegal aliens, and backing a bail fund for violent BLM rioters and criminals.

This is why Harris has been avoiding the press and interviews to answer for her radical record and policy proposals.
