(Radio Iowa) – It’s been just over a week since Vice President Kamala Harris announced her intention to run “and win” the Democratic presidential nomination, and while Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley agrees Harris’ momentum is strong at the moment, he predicts it won’t last. “There’s great enthusiasm in the Democratic Party. She’s a new face. Not any questions about if she’s able to get through the next four years, like with Biden,” Grassley says. “It’s a big boost for her, but I think it’s a temporary boost because nobody’s focused on her record.”

Grassley, a Republican, asserts voters need to take a closer look at Harris’ views and how she voted during the four years she was in the U-S Senate. “These indexes show her in the 94th percentile of being one of the most liberal members of the Congress of the United States,” Grassley says, “and some people over the weekend were saying she’s even more liberal than the Socialist member the Democrat Party, Bernie Sanders.” For comparison, Grassley says he ranks number-11 on that same ranking where Harris placed 94th. He suggests voters do some research about Harris and her stance on key issues.

“It could be like she’s against enforcing the law at the border, that you can’t enter our country without our permission, so she’s for an open border,” Grassley says, “and she’s part of this 19% increase in the cost of living since Biden became president United States.”

The November election is just under 100 days away.
