I would suggest that she learn to answer questions period.

Tim, you've got to remember that VP Harris is in the middle of a presidential campaign and that any Q & A has political implications. She can answer a question directly and honestly while affirmatively giving her position. For example, to the question of what she'd do differently from Pres. Biden, she might say (as she's previously and inartfully said): "One thing I'd do almost as soon as I was sworn in would be to bird-dog the bipartisan immigration bill that Trump had killed back 10 months ago. As soon as he was sworn in, Pres. Biden introduced a comprehensive immigration reform bill - one that was negotiated on a bipartisan basis years ago and which would provide for border security, take care of our dreamers in a fair and humane way and providing for a guest worker program so that our fruit and produce don't rot in the fields. Unfortunately, with covid and the economic crisis, Pres. Biden had to attend to other matters and the bill languished. I'd learn from that mistake and place a high priority on getting passed immigration reform no matter what other matters were at hand."

That's off-the-cuff, but it provides an effective and direct answer to the question. It could be tweaked

In watching the interview Bob I believe she answered, not verbatim to your text, but fairly close. I believe a good follow up question by Brett would have been "why did you reverse the Trump executive actions prior to working for a congressional solution?"

She can give opinions in questions. Obama did this very effectively during his campaign years. But apparently, she supports taxpayers funding sex change operations for convicted felons.
