CNN host Michael Smerconish threw cold water on Democrats’ enthusiasm for their “nearly invisible” nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, warning that she isn’t “indestructible” and will eventually be “held accountable” for her record and policy positions.

Smerconish took aim at Harris on Saturday for refusing to subject herself to tough questioning from reporters about what she would do as president since she was handed the nomination last month.

“Kamala Harris is not indestructible,” the former Republican and talk radio host said on his weekend CNN program Saturday, adding that the vice president was getting a “free ride.”

“She has served as an undistinguished, nearly invisible vice president.”

Smerconish noted that “there appears no accomplishment she can point to for her most important responsibility, addressing the origin of the border crisis.”

His comments were reported by the news site Mediaite.

“Thus far, Harris has had a free ride,” Smerconish said. “She hasn’t given any media interviews, hasn’t faced voter questioning.”

The host noted that Harris pledged to give an interview with the press by the end of the month, adding: “She said that on August the 8th!”

Smerconish called out Harris for reversing her positions on several issues, including “health care, fracking, weed and the death penalty.”

He also said Harris would soon need to answer for an economic agenda that has so far been met with “mixed reviews.”

“Sooner or later, she’s going to be held accountable and face pressure that she has thus far largely avoided,” Smerconish said.

Smerconish also called for greater scrutiny of Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who may turn out “to have as many warts as [Ohio Sen.] JD Vance.”

He cited a recent CNN report that found that Walz’s 2006 campaign for a congressional seat made false statements about details of his 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving.

The Post has sought comment from the Harris-Walz campaign.
