CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Vice President Kamala Harris struggled Wednesday when asked to name her most important policy goal if elected president.
During a CNN town hall with undecided voters, the Democratic presidential nominee was asked to identify the one major policy goal she’d like to accomplish that required Congressional approval.
Ms. Harris dodged the question, insisting there were too many to name, and declined to get into specifics.
“Well there’s not just one, I have to be honest with you,” she said. “There is a lot of work that needs to happen.”
Ms. Harris then deflected by talking about how Washington has gotten too partisan for a president to achieve major policy initiatives.
“We’ve got to get past this era of politics and partisan politics slowing down what we need to do in terms of progress in our country and that means working across the aisle,” she said.

Ms. Harris then ticked off a list of President Biden’s accomplishments that she said were achieved through bipartisan agreement, including infrastructure and gun-control laws.
Last month, Ms. Harris also struggled during a CNN interview when asked what she would do on her first day in office if elected in November. During that interview, she simply said that she would look for ways to “strengthen” the middle class on her first day.
