Social Media Cringes Over Michael Strahan Asking Tim Walz About Kamala Harris’ Vice Presidential Accomplishments

Less than a month until the 2024 presidential election, both parties are making last-minute pitches to undecided voters.

In an effort to nudge some of those people to the left, Tim Walz recently gave one of his first sit-down interviews to ABC’s Good Morning America.

Only, he didn’t sit with one of the network’s many political-minded journalists, like George Stephanopoulos or David Muir—he spoke with NFL Hall of Famer and analyst Michael Strahan.

Social media was immediately confused as to why Strahan was chosen for the big-time opportunity, especially when it came to one question specifically about Kamala Harris not getting more done during her nearly four years in office as vice president, especially border patrol.

“President Trump said during your debate that these are policies that Kamala Harris could have done three years ago when she was in the White House with President Biden, and she never did. What do you say to people who bring that up?” the career-long New York Giant said.

Governor Walz retorted by asking why Trump couldn’t pass meaningful legislation if border issues were so integral to him.

“Well, Donald Trump had four years to do it if you’re gonna talk about that. To do it, you’re going to need a partner in congress. You’ve seen different bills that are ready to pass and Donald Trump makes sure he steps in,” Walz says. “We saw it around immigration, a bipartisan bill that was widely respected wanting to make a difference in this, holding true to our values and securing the border. Trump steps in and says, ‘look, that’s gonna hurt my political future let’s not make it happen.'”

It stems back to the Sept. 11 ABC presidential debate during the closing remarks when Trump repeatedly said that during Harris’ years in office, she hadn’t accomplished the pillars she now wants to address as a presidential hopeful.

The answer is quite simple: As vice president, she’s not in charge; President Joe Biden has the final say.

Yes, she tips the scales in the senate –Harris has set a record for most tiebreaking votes– but she doesn’t have the power Trump thinks she does because she’s technically still a subordinate.

It’s a pretty simple principle of civics, and social media had no problem roasting Strahan for the question, despite Walz flipping it on Trump.
