NewsNation host Chris Cuomo commented on Vice President Kamala Harris’s remarks about immigration during the Democratic National Convention. Cuomo expressed skepticism about Harris’s ability to appeal to independent voters with her current stance on the issue.
He noted that her explanation of the immigration situation, particularly the blame placed on a single bill not passing under Trump’s administration, might not be convincing to those who critically assess the matter.
Cuomo observed that there has been a significant shift in the Democrats’ outlook and mood over the past month. He described this change as a valuable lesson for the party, highlighting how quickly circumstances and perspectives can evolve. This shift, according to Cuomo, has brought a new sense of optimism and realization among Democrats.

He further critiqued Harris’s approach, arguing that her attempt to justify the status quo by pointing to legislative failures under the previous administration would not meet the expectations of independent voters or those well-versed in immigration issues. Cuomo believed that Harris would need to address these concerns more effectively to gain broader support.
Cuomo suggested that while Democrats have experienced a positive transformation recently, Kamala Harris’s immigration comments might fall short of addressing the complexities and frustrations surrounding the issue. He implied that Harris has more work to do to address immigration challenges in a way that resonates with both independent voters and experts.
