One of things you’re not supposed to do when you’re in the business of news reporting, or political commentary, is repeat yourself. Saying the same things over and over again is usually a good way to turn off your audience. Everyone in the media knows this, and political campaigns know it too. They count on it. They think that if they just ignore inconvenient facts — no matter how bad they may be — then eventually people will stop talking about them.
That’s why I’m going to begin by repeating a highly inconvenient fact that the Kamala Harris campaign apparently wants everyone to ignore, even though it’s unprecedented in modern politics. Since becoming her party’s presumptive nominee well over a month ago, Kamala Harris still hasn’t participated in a single press conference or interview. The most she’s done is deflect a couple of softballs on an airport tarmac. Harris was also completely absent from the Sunday shows the other day, even though pretty much every single Sunday show is explicitly on the side of her campaign.
