Former President Donald Trump is throwing down the gauntlet, suggesting that CNN’s Dana Bash has a golden opportunity to achieve greatness. All she needs to do is conduct an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris that is both “fair and tough.” If Bash manages to pull that off, Trump claims it would shine a light on Harris’s vast shortcomings, transforming her into a poster child for incompetence. Given that Harris has managed to sidestep serious questioning for months—last seen in a solo press conference before many Americans finished their Thanksgiving leftovers—one has to wonder if she might actually be up to the task.
The Harris campaign has decided to team her up with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the occasion, no doubt to create a “comfort zone” for the vice president. Critics are calling this a strategic move, allowing Harris to deflect awkward questions while dodging accountability like a seasoned pro. The last time Harris faced any tough questioning was so long ago that even the political archaeologists would have a hard time digging it up. This new duo setup raises eyebrows as many conservative commentators are dubbing it a “softball” session designed to buffer Harris’s inevitable “umms” and “uhhs.”

Trump also couldn’t resist taking a jab at the media’s role in this spectacle. He noted that if Bash wants to reach real stardom, she needs to take the gloves off and get serious. Who doesn’t want to see a little bit of action? In an era where political theatrics reign supreme, a hard-hitting interview could light the fuse and create fireworks that the American public can’t help but tune in for. After all, exposing the incompetence of a sitting vice president would undoubtedly make waves—not just within the confines of mainstream media, but also within the homes of everyday Americans who are feeling the pinch of this administration’s policies.
Not content to merely comment, Trump offered his dark humor regarding the interview arrangement. “Tampon Tim” Walz’s presence, he argued, is nothing short of a crutch for Harris, aiming to shield her from the hard questions that every political figure should face head-on. With that kind of backing, one might be led to believe Harris could waltz through the interview unscathed. However, the mere thought that there might be an attempt to alter the transcript afterward is a horror show that nobody on the right wants to imagine featuring a liberal agenda on full display.
As the clock ticks down to this highly anticipated—and highly questionable—interview at 9 PM EST, the question remains: Will Dana Bash rise to the occasion or simply play the role of a dutiful accomplice to a vice president desperate for a win? Either way, eyes are glued to CNN for what promises to be an hour of political facepalms, laughter, and perhaps a reality check for the American people watching these antics unfold before them.
