Vice President Kamala Harris faced some tough questions at her recent Pennsylvania town hall. Democratic strategist David Axelrod called her responses a "word salad, " saying she didn't answer questions directly. This wasn't just one person's opinion. Other commentators like Van Jones also found her answers frustrating. Even though she had some good moments, the criticism is notable, especially so close to the election.

In the past few weeks, the presidential race has seen a shift. Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, has gained momentum and is now leading in key swing states. This change has made some in the media more critical of Harris. They're starting to look at her performance with a more critical eye.

The town hall wasn't an easy night for Harris. Anderson Cooper, the moderator, asked tough questions, especially about the border issue. He was even accused of being too tough on her. After the event, fact-checkers found that many of Harris' claims needed more context or were false.

Other news outlets have also been critical. The Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post have both faced backlash for not endorsing Harris. Columnists from these papers have said her message might be too simple and not enough to win.

As the election gets closer, it's clear that Harris' campaign is facing challenges. The media, which used to be more supportive, is now being more critical. It's a shift that could impact the final days of the campaign.
