Kamala Harris Still Hasn’t Done A Major Interview 15 Days After Biden Dropped Out

It’s been two weeks and one day since President Joe Biden abandoned his reelection campaign and bumped his running mate to the top of the ticket.

In that time, Vice President Kamala Harris has not sat down with the press for a single long-form interview, and no upcoming ones have been announced.

It’s difficult to imagine the major news networks have not reached out to the Harris campaign for a long interview at this point. Not only is she the presumptive nominee of one of the country’s two major political parties, but the news cycles of the last month have involved one historical event after another — surly worthy of comment.

Even Biden, who has been notoriously reluctant to do press conferences during his presidency, sat down with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in early July, shortly before he dropped out of the race.

However, on Monday, Biden ignored shouted questions about the stock market and the volatile situation in the Middle East as he made his way from Marine One to a meeting with his national security team, according to the pool report.

Previously, Harris’ long-form interviews have not always gone the way her communications team hoped.

In an infamous moment from a 2021 interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Harris stumbled when the anchor asked her whether she had any plans to visit the porous southern border.

“You haven’t been to the border,” Holt noted during the June 2021 interview just five months after Biden took office.

“And I haven’t been to Europe,” Harris responded, laughing. “I mean I don’t understand the point that you’re making.”

Last week, the media backtracked on calling Harris the “border czar,” a title they had given her back in 2021 when she was tasked with finding a solution to surging illegal immigration.

Immigration is among the Biden administration’s most vulnerable issues, and so far, Harris’ team has not appeared eager to thrust her in front of a camera to face questions again about her handling of the border crisis.

Harris is also known for her vague word salads, another reason her communications team may not want her doing interviews right now during her brand new presidential campaign’s honeymoon phase with the public.

“It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down,” she said during a 2022 interview with NBC.

Since Harris announced her intention to “earn” the Democratic nomination, her campaign has seen little negative coverage from legacy media outlets, and her candidacy has even sparked a string of positive memes and trends among younger voters.

Election Day is only 91 days away. It remains to be seen whether Harris could potentially avoid a single real interview until then.
