CNN host Jake Tapper took Vice President Kamala Harris to task for not answering direct questions during Tuesday's presidential debate on ABC.

On Wednesday, Tapper said Harris was less than forthcoming about her policies, beginning the debate "by punting the first question on the economy."

"It went on from there," Tapper said after playing a clip of her response. "Despite the economy being the number one issue facing the country, the sitting vice president generally reverted to talking points about a few of her policy proposals. Even Harris allies today are saying that she needs to talk more about what she will do for Americans if elected."

The host then noted another major question she avoided answering, saying "she also dodged" on the border.

When asked how she might have managed the crisis better than President Biden, Harris began, "So I‘m the only person on this stage who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings."

"M'kay, that wasn‘t the question," Tapper said of her remark.

"When asked how she would break through the Israel-Hamas war stalemate Harris said this..." he continued, sharing the clip.
