Syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt argues that Vice President Kamala Harris lacks the necessary qualifications to become president, citing her performance in a recent interview and her record in office.
Syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt has asserted that Vice President Kamala Harris does not possess the "minimum skill set necessary" to be president. Hewitt's assessment stems from Harris's first sit-down interview on "Sunday Night in America" and her overall performance in office.
Hewitt believes that ABC News, which hosted the interview, passed its test in terms of fairness by providing equal opportunities for Harris to express her views. However, he expressed concerns about the network's ability to conduct an impartial debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump due to the perceived lack of Trump supporters on its payroll.

To ensure impartiality, Hewitt suggests that ABC focus on questions related to the candidates' roles as commanders-in-chief. He argues that presidents have significant control over national security and military deployment, citing Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal and Trump's ordering of the killing of Qasem Soleimani as examples of relevant topics.
Other areas that Hewitt believes should be addressed in the debate include:

* America's southern border and the influx of migrants
* Title IX regulations and the participation of transgender athletes in scholastic sports

* The availability of FDA-approved abortion drugs
* The future of nuclear energy and fossil fuel extraction
* The response to anti-Semitism on campuses
* The implementation of the Green New Deal
* The pace of permit reforms for fossil fuel export
Hewitt emphasizes that these questions are legitimate and should be posed to both candidates. He believes that if ABC asks an equal number of questions that appeal to both sides of the political spectrum, the network will avoid a "fail" verdict from the public.
However, Hewitt cautions that the upcoming debate could prove challenging for Trump, as it will be crucial for ABC to ensure that the questions posed to him are as difficult as those directed to Harris.
Hewitt, a host on the Salem Radio Network, is known for his conservative views and has frequently criticized the Biden administration. He is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School and has written extensively on constitutional law and American politics.
