As much as I’d like to not advertise any single media source, CNN scored the sit down interview so it is what it is.

It’s live right now, will be interesting to see what people think!

It’s his literal daughter. She’s not “on the other side of the aisle”. There is absolutely no one with a smidgen of intelligence that thinks this was in some way evidencing bipartisanship or a concession to the left.
That’s my point. “I will appoint a Republican” does not necessarily mean “I will reach across the aisle to the opposing politicians who are ruining America”.
It could very well mean “I will appoint old friends from law school and the private sector, even if they happen to be registered Republicans.” People like Bob McDonald.
I’m still confused why 'it’s normal to appoint old friends from the private sector" is being tossed around as if it’s a defense of the practice.
Because presidents, like everyone else, prefer to hire people their team knows and trusts.
I’m with Zaktor on this one. NOBODY thinks Trump appointing his kid was comparable to this Harris promise or other historical examples. Sure, you technically made a factuql observation. But, it seems like a bad faith argument in this discourse.
Or maybe some people really believe that Ivanka Trump (hang on, I’m laughing) is a Democrat.
