The Washington Post editorial board admitted this week that many Americans aren’t better off economically today than in 2019, the last pre-pandemic year of the Trump Administration.
That could be the obvious reason Kamala Harris dodged the first question of Tuesday night’s presidential debate: “Are Americans better off today than they were four years ago?”
Kamala Talked about growing up in a middle-class family.

From The Washington Post:
ABC News moderator David Muir opened Tuesday night’s presidential debate by directing a variant of Reagan’s query at the quasi-incumbent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
She dodged it — and no wonder. On Tuesday, the Census Bureau released an update on income, poverty and health insurance in the United States as of last year. And though there was much good news compared with previous years, particularly on health coverage, the data suggested that income-wise, as of 2023, many Americans were still not quite better off than they were in the last pre-pandemic year, 2019, nor necessarily eventhan they were in 2020.
Harris was not called out for the dodge by moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.
