Former Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized by critics for her refusal to watch President Trump's address on Iran. She had suggested that the president might move to "claim victory" in Iran but claimed that the country was watching what he said instead of listening to him. The criticism was fueled by criticism of the Biden administration. Conservative Rep. Tom Emmer praised Trump for having "the guts" that the previous administration lacked. The White House responded by suggesting that Harris should listen to the majority of Americans.
