Megyn Kelly mocks Kamala Harris for trying to 'sound like Barack Obama' but 'failing' miserably
WASHINGTON, DC: Megyn Kelly once again took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, this time for trying to mimic former President Barack Obama’s style while discussing economic issues.

Megyn Kelly bluntly stated, "The problem of her speaking continues. I guess she hasn't quite gotten the message that she's not good at this, and we know it."
Harris, who has spoken frequently about tapping into voters' ambitions, faced harsh criticism from the conservative commentator, who pointed to the VP's declining approval ratings, especially among independents.

"Her voters know it because her numbers are going down with independents who previously had shown an open mind toward her. So what does she do? More talking," expressed Kelly.
She didn’t stop there, labeling Harris' messaging as repetitive and shallow. According to the former Fox News host, the Democratic nominee is offering rhetoric, not real solutions.
Kelly noted that Harris "continued the inane messaging that we have seen so many times over and over and over" during a recent podcast appearance, highlighting her failure to turn vague aspirations into concrete policies.
"Just some amorphous goal that she's using to try to make herself sound like Barack Obama, but failing," remarked the journalist.

In true Kelly fashion, she didn’t hold back, stating, "They all need to shower and we're all feeling grosser for having heard about or witnessed it in the first place."
The outspoken host accused Harris of missing crucial opportunities to present herself as a serious presidential contender.
"You played with fire and you got burned. And you failed at an important moment in presidential history," declared Kelly, alluding to the stakes surrounding Harris' public appearances as the November election approaches.

"I talk about topics like mental health, relationships, sex, sexuality, trauma. Overall, my focus is women and the day-to-day issues that we face," she explained, as per OK! Magazine.
She added, "At the end of the day, I couldn’t see a world in which one of the main conversations of this election is women and I’m not a part of it."
Cooper also revealed she had reached out to Donald Trump for a potential appearance, leaving the door open for him to discuss women’s rights on the show.
