Quote:Vice President Kamala Harris has been dodging tough interviews ever since she became the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, and the press appears to be getting sick of it.

The vice president has participated in very few interviews since receiving the nomination, and each of them has been friendly. Even then, she could not even handle the most softball of questions. On multiple occasions, she completely bombed, which explains why her team has been hesitant to put her in front of cameras.

During a recent appearance on MSNBC, journalist Andrea Mitchell argued that Harris needs to do “more interviews and serious interviews” because she is losing support among men.

“I think they’ve got to double down on doing more interviews and serious interviews because what I’m hearing from Democratic and Republican business people and a lot of men, and she’s got such a big problem with men. I think there’s an undercount of the Trump vote. I think there is misogyny in all of this, black and white men. Big problem, but also the business world. They don’t think she is serious. They don’t think she’s a heavyweight. A lot of this is gender, but she’s got to be more specific about her economic plan.”

It appears that Team Harris understands the assignment. She will be doing more interviews over the next week, according to The New York Times. She will be participating in a series of interviews on popular television and radio platforms as the campaign heads into the final stretch before Election Day.

Harris is set to appear on “The View,” Howard Stern’s radio show, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” among others. Of course, you might already see what each of these shows have in common, right? They are all media outlets that are friendly to Democrats. The vice president is avoiding any media that might actually press her on her record or ask more challenging questions.

The article notes Harris’ recent appearances with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, one of the vice president’s most enthusiastic shills. Both Stern and Colbert have already endorsed her or President Joe Biden.

Likewise, many of those interviewing Ms. Harris this week have openly backed either her or Mr. Biden.

Mr. Colbert hosted fund-raisers for Mr. Biden in 2020 and again this year. Mr. Stern endorsed Mr. Biden in 2020 and hosted him for a warm interview in April.

Mr. Walz will appear on Tuesday on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Mr. Kimmel last month endorsed Ms. Harris for president.

Ms. Harris’s campaign had already announced that she and Mr. Walz would appear in an interview with the CBS News program “60 Minutes” that is set to air on Monday night. The campaign had also said that Ms. Harris would participate on Thursday in a Univision town-hall event in Las Vegas.

The vice president has also recorded an interview on Call Her Daddy, a popular podcast about sex, dating and relationships. The interview, which focuses on abortion rights and other women’s issues, is set to be released on Sunday evening.

Harris’ focus on non-traditional media shows that her team understands that establishment media outlets are no longer the primary sources of news for many voters.

“Her campaign, like that of former President Donald J. Trump, believes that the traditional strategy of interviews with broadcast networks and national newspapers is outdated and not worth the accompanying risks,” the report notes.

Of course, Mitchell is right. Harris was never going to be able to avoid the media forever. Polling shows that she and former President Donald Trump are nearly neck and neck, with the latest RealClearPolling average putting her only two points above her opponent.

At this point, it is too risky for Harris not to speak with the press. However, speaking only to friendly reporters is not unpredictable. This is the best way to put her best foot forward in the lead-up to the election without completely wrecking herself on camera.

Still, given Harris’ propensity for gaffes and word salads, even the most friendly of interviews might not be enough to save her.

Desperation. A shift in strategy because hiding like Biden isn’t working

How many times can we hear the same thing. “I was brought up in a middle class family”. “My mother saved up to buy her first house”. “I prosecuted foreign gangs”.

I think the opposite. I think her team thinks they have it in the bag, so they'll do these things to quiet the " she does no interviews" crowd. We'll see if that is true

If you have it in the bag you wouldn’t give a damn what the crowd thinks.

Interviews are not her thing as it shows where even Oprah couldn’t save her in a forum. She’s embarrassing herself with word salads and if the mail-ins are in and on their way then you do a Biden and hide in the basement for the most part

if it's a slam dunk ...
why bring obama out of mothballs ...
why self-label as underdog ...
why hanker for another debate ...
why have betting markets flipped ...
why run from your record by pretending to be someone else ...

Good. She just bombed 60 minutes. The more people hear her speak unscripted the more they realize she is not Presidential material. The Biden Administration’ record is abysmal as well.

Harris may, indeed, win this election. I don’t deny that for one minute.

But I disagree that her decision to suddenly do a bunch of interviews this close to the end is a sign of political strength. They don’t care about the “she does no interviews” crowd — those aren’t her people and they never will be. If Harris felt comfortable in that format she would’ve been doing them all along. I think she is doing them now because her own private polls show her “underwater” (as Slotkin said in Michigan a week ago). This isn’t the move of a campaign trying to protect a lead in the 4th Q, it’s the move of a campaign that’s trailing and needs to score quickly. The complaints that Trump won’t give the Dems a 3rd debate is part of the same strategy.

Good points but I disagree, I think this is Dean Smith's 4 corners. I think her people think she has it, that's why she's floating to the easy interviews. Which is wild because literally no one has this as a slam dunk on either side.

4 corners is what she was doing from June 27 (debate in Atlanta) until about a week ago.

I never blamed Dean Smith for utilizing that strategy, btw. In the pre-shot clock era, it made sense. But from a spectator’s point of view, very thankful that college basketball moved beyond that.

Exactly what we were talking about last week. The Happy Happy Joy Joy Campaign ain’t working folks. Folks ain’t buying cause everything is so expensive.

Reports Friday that the Harris people are trying to distance themselves from Walz.

Walz didn’t do anything to help his ticket’s chances in the debate last week.

You’re too smart to believe this hocus pocus the Harris / Walz has been trying to sell since Joe mumbled and stumbled his way out of the contest.

Why are they trying to distance themselves from Joe if they’re trying to slowdown the tempo of the campaign. Joe is about as slow as you get.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/06/politics/...index.html

Why would the Harris / Walz campaign accept the endorsement of Liz Cheney so publicly? Harris handlers have to know Cheney is about as popular as a root canal for most Republicans. That endorsement isn’t moving anyone to Harris / Walz that wasn’t already in their corner.

You don’t go into a slow down when you’re afraid of losing…. Michigan.

Watch what happens this week. If Harris starts attacking Trump more and moving even further to the Left to try and reignite her base .Those will be signals her efforts to move to the center have failed. Harris doesn’t know much but she does know radical politics.

I don't think that she's going to reach many poachable votes with these propaganda promoters.

Howard Stern is the biggest has been in world history. The View is a free commercial for her on a daily basis. Colbert is a clown.

Keep wasting your time, cackles.
