Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has passed the 34th day of not giving an unscripted press conference on Saturday since replacing President Joe Biden.
Ever since President Biden endorsed her as his replacement following his forced exit from the presidential race, Harris has been emulating her predecessor and has spent the entire time hiding from the media.
Despite having a friendly mainstream media, Harris has refused to give interviews or speak with the media outside of specific exemptions.
Aside from rally speeches and a speech at the DNC formally accepting the nomination, Harris has been completely radio silent and for good reason.
Harris's campaign is all-in on the "Vote for me I'm not Trump" strategy as Harris represents the failures of the past four years and her own ideas are so radical and dangerous that Democrats don't want them revealed.
The Harris campaign has been so airtight that they haven't even posted a policies page on the Harris campaign website advertising the stances that Harris holds.
It's been over thirty days since Harris accepted Biden's endorsement to replace him but its actually been months since she last had any kind of interview.
Harris was last interviewed on television on June 24, 2024. She has not faced questions from the press at a solo news conference since December 2, 2023.
Harris has always been hidden away by the Biden administration because she was a liability. But she is running to be the President of the United States now so hiding her away is unacceptable, just like it was with Biden before her.
She can't hide from the media forever and speculation has been building about an interview happening soon. Axios claimed "She has committed to one interview by Aug. 31,” but there is no such interview scheduled and that is less than a week away.
When Harris eventually does do her interview, her campaign has two challenges to overcome: how to keep Harris from going off script, and how to make her agenda palatable for angry and economically defeated voters.
Americans got a glimpse of what to expect out of Harris last week when during a speech at a rally, Harris proudly advocated for Soviet-style price controls to combat "price gouging" by greedy corporations.
Harris refuses to acknowledge that it is the policies of the Biden administration that has created extreme inflation, not corporations greedily raising prices at the same time the Biden administration printed trillions.
The backlash from Harris's communist proposals was swift and explains why Harris has avoided interviews or questions so far.
Her agenda is completely beyond the pale and Americans will reject her outright if they knew her plans. However, with Harris hiding, she can be portrayed as a normal Democrat vs. the bogeyman that the mainstream media has created to represent Donald Trump.
