Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) sat for only eight interviews combined since joining the race in July, in what Axios claimed is the fewest interviews by any major party’s presidential candidates “in modern U.S. history.”
Harris has been a candidate for 62 days and Walz for 48 days, but neither Harris nor Walz has sat for more than 5 interviews, Axios reported:
Harris: 4
Walz: 4
Harris, in particular, has remained unavailable to the press. When she has sat for interviews, Harris avoids questions and often gives vague answers.
During Harris’s latest interview, on Friday with Oprah Winfrey, she failed to simply detail her plan to lower soaring costs when asked by members of the audience.
Harris replied with a 90-word response consisting of two sentences that began with platitudes about the “American Dream.” She acknowledged the American Dream is out of reach for “so many recently” under the Biden-Harris administration.
