Recovering journalist and Nashville-area public affairs expert Clint Brewer said the different approaches taken by both presidential campaigns regarding media exposure stem from both parties’ candidates’ abilities when handling the media on a national scale.
Acknowledging how Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have had “selective” and “controlled” interactions with the media as opposed to former President Donald Trump and U.S. Senator JD Vance (R-OH) being widely available to the press, Brewer said both campaigns have to “play with what they’ve got” in regards to media exposure.
