Kay Hagan Struggles to Answer If Obama Is a Strong Leader

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” MSNBC political correspondent Kasie Hunt interviewed incumbent Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC), who is in a tight reelection bod for her seat against Republican senatorial hopeful Thom Tillis.

In that interview, Hunt asked Hagan if she considered Obama to be a strong leader, which was a question Hagan did not respond to directly.

“You know, President Obama has a lot on his plate,” Hagan replied. “And it see, like whether it’s the oil spill that took place earlier a number of years ago in the Gulf, to this Ebola crisis now, to ISIS gaining strength — I mean, you look at all the combination of things like that.”

Hunt continued to press on Hagan on the question and although Hagan said Obama’s responses to those problems left much to be desired, she did not offer a direct response.
