'I'm ready for you': MSNBC's Ruhle throws down the gauntlet after Fox News whining

A smiling Stephanie Ruhle slapped aside complaints and whining from Fox News personnel who spent the greater part of Thursday seemingly obsessed with her interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. She then made an offer to Donald Trump.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Joe Scarborough joked that Mika Brzezinski spends an inordinate amount of time watching Fox News and then pointed out that Ruhle and her Harris interview dominated their version of the news for the entire day.

"I noticed [Fox personality] Howie Kurtz was saying you launched a softball interview with Kamala Karris, and you seem to be the running banner for about 30 minutes," Scarborough prompted his guest as Brzezinski exclaimed, "30 minutes? All day!" as her co-host continued and joked, "What a softball interview this interview was. Of course, nothing, nothing like Donald Trump and Sean Hannity, I'm sure. But I'm just curious what your thoughts were about Fox News desperately suggesting that she bombed a softball interview."

"Well to Fox News, I would say 'thank you,' because, as I learned from Donald Trump, all press is good press, so I am thrilled to be all over their air waves all day long," Ruhle joked.

After some snarky banter about Trump selling $100,000 watches, coins, trading cards and Bibles, Ruhle pushed back, calling complaints about the interview a bunch of hot air.

"That's nonsense," she told the co-hosts. "Anybody who watched the interview I did with Vice President Harris, we sat down for 25 minutes and talked about one single topic, the economy. It is the number one issue for voters. If Donald Trump would like to sit down and have that same conversation, I'm ready for you."

'I think it's hugely important," she added. "It's a vulnerability for both candidates. It's tricky, Joe, because you obviously want to cover all of these topics, but to just do it with one candidate, it's hard, because many people feel like she's speaking in platitudes; she's speaking about an economic vision, and she's not giving details. She's got an 80-page detailed policy proposal."

"Do I think that she answers every single question and gives people exactly what they want?" she asked. "She doesn't. You know why? Because she's a politician, and none of them do."

GOP pollster concedes economy is 'no longer' a 'unique Trump strength'

Republican strategists and insiders have insisted that former President Donald Trump, his campaign and his surrogates have to hammer Vice President Kamala Harris on the economy. But a GOP pollster now says Harris' team has managed to neutralize the attack — and called the issue "no longer this unique Trump strength."

Trump has attacked Harris and blamed her for causing runaway inflation, but Harris hit back in an interview with MSNBC this week, attacking her Republican rival as unserious on economic policies as she vowed to attract new investments in manufacturing. She has billed her vision as an "opportunity economy" and laid out a plan to help young families, first-time home buyers and older adults via $100 billion in tax breaks and financial incentives.
