There were two interviews last night with Fox News' Bret Baier and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris: The actual one, and the interview Dems and the lefty media wish took place and are pretending happened anyway.
Before I get to Politico's assessment, here are a couple of clips from the actual interview. Harris' answer to each and every question was basically some form of "but Trump..."
Biden and Harris' border disaster -- which isn't viewed as a disaster by Dems because they successfully let more than ten million people in the country illegally who they hope to turn into future voters -- is of course the fault of Trump and the Republicans:
This is absolutely brutal…

Bret Baier finally pushes Kamala Harris on the open border and illegal immigration.
Listen how high-pitched her voice gets in the final 2 minutes. Insane. Tells you everything. pic.twitter.com/cOLE2DChHJ
More than 70 percent of Americans think things are going badly and guess what! That's Trump's fault too:
BRET: “More than 70% of Americans feel the country is going badly.”

KAMALA: “Donald Trump has been running for office”
B: “But you've been the person holding the office”
K: “You and I both know what I’m talking about”
B: “I actually don’t. What are you talking about?” 🤣 pic.twitter.com/rslwSkysBR
Add it all up and the interview was a disaster for Harris.
Fortunately for the Democrats they have the propaganda press who put Pravda and North Korean state media to shame, and as usual Politico is among outlets leading the way.

Harris "won the day" because of her interview performance (and a couple of campaign stops earlier), and Politico earned another ratio.

Here's what "winning the day" looks like:
Harris praised her interlocutor, Bret Baier, as a “serious journalist,” a contrast from Trump saying Fox News was “owned” by her spokesperson Ian Sams. And she took a step to defuse last week’s self-own that her presidency would not be much different that Joe Biden’s.
“My presidency would not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” she told Baier.
Harris survived the interview with no apparent gaffes — going on offense on a day Trump seemed mired in a defensive crouch.
It seems to me like there were a lot more moments in that interview where Harris did the opposite of "winning the day," not that they warranted any mention in a Politico "Harris won the day" piece.
Are you guys high

This is why democrats scramble for ballots in the middle of the night. You all get high off your own lies.
The media bubble is so thick that they always believe the BS they're peddling because they never allow themselves to be exposed to any other sides.
Only a hack like @adamwren could watch that interview and come away with this verdict for Politico.

It’s like saying Daniel Jones won the day, like, ever.
Congrats Adam, you’re doing great. And enjoy the ratio. https://t.co/BpgIqo4AfX
The ratio is impressive, even for Politico.
