Kamala Harris's Lack of Press Engagement
Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, has not engaged in a substantial interview or press conference since securing enough delegates for the nomination. This strategy mirrors that of President Joe Biden in the 2020 campaign, where he avoided media interactions but still got elected.
Key Points
- Harris following a similar media strategy as Biden in the 2020 campaign
- Experts suggest engaging with the press would benefit Harris from a rhetorical standpoint
Pros
- Strategic move to avoid potential pitfalls in unscripted settings
- Allows Harris to focus on specific issues she wants to address
Cons
- Lack of transparency and accountability to the public
- Avoiding key questions on major policy issues
