Vice President Kamala Harris is being called out for not appearing in as many interviews as former President Donald Trump â but her campaign may think that is the right move.
âThe Harris-Walz ticket is on pace to do fewer interviews and press conferences than any major partyâs presidential pairing in modern U.S. history,â as Axios points out.
In Axiosâ exclusive report âInside the Harris-Walz strategy of hiding from the media,â sources close to the Harris campaign shared with the outlet that Harrisâ Team believes itâs the âright strategyâ to limit those interactions â âeven if it frustrates reporters,â as the report reads.
In the 59 days since Harris announced her candidacy, Trump and JD Vance have done over 70 interviews and press conferences, per Axiosâ analysis. In comparison, Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have had seven.
Per The New York Times, Harris âreceived far stronger reviews of her debate performance last week than did Mr. Trump, with 67 percent of U.S. likely voters saying she did well compared with 40 percent for him,â citing a New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College poll taken Sept. 11-16.
Despite the reviews after the debate, Harris and Trump are tied at 47% nationally.
