Clock Ticks Down On Kamala’s Interview Deadline As Veep Continues To Hide From Media

Vice President Kamala Harris has not sat down for a media interview or held a single news conference since she became the Democrats’ de facto nominee on July 23.

There are only five days left before the end of the month, which was the effective deadline Harris gave herself for a sit-down interview after she was pressed about her media avoidance.

“Scheduling: Harris told reporters on August 8th she wanted ‘to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,'” White House reporter for Real Clear Politics Philip Wegmann posted to X on Monday. “There are five days left, and no word on who gets the first sit-down.”

Harris spent a mere 70 seconds with a handful of reporters as she was traveling on August 8, when one reporter was able to get the VP to somewhat commit to the future interview. “I’ve talked to my team — I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,” she said.

Kamala Harris on Donald Trump: “I’m glad that he’s finally agreed to a debate on September 10. I’m looking forward to it. And hope he shows up.”

Harris’ absence has been a growing concern and source of criticism.

“Days Kamala Harris has not been asked an adversarial question after becoming the de facto nominee: 37,” Daily Wire Emeritus Ben Shapiro highlighted on Monday.

As Shapiro has consistently pointed out, Harris has not detailed a single policy position to the media, but has instead used unnamed staffers to suggest she’s radically changed her far-Left policy positions from the last time she ran for the White House.

Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) appearance this weekend on ABC News underscored Harris’ MIA campaign strategy, which is only barely effective because of the media’s full cooperation.

Host Jonathan Karl tried to “correct” Cotton when he noted that Harris wants to eliminate private health insurance — a position she expressed in 2019. Karl insisted Harris has since changed her position.

“How do you know that’s not her position? How do you know that’s not her position?” Cotton pressed Karl. “She has not said that. Maybe anonymous aides on a Friday night have said that…”

On #ThisWeek, @JonKarl unaware of Harris’s stance against private health insurance. When @SenTomCotton notes it, Karl: “What do you mean taking away health insurance? What are talking about?” Then: “That is not her position now….clearly making an effort to move to the middle.” pic.twitter.com/dLk3LEnuCp
