It’s less noticed and discussed that Kamala Harris’ refusal to do sit-down on-camera interviews or press conferences, but her running mate, Tim Walz, hasn’t done a single one, either. (No, an on-camera chat with Harris about “white guy tacos” does not count. The San Francisco Chronicle labeled that an “interview,” even though the two candidates were talking to each other.)
Think about it, Harris has been the de facto nominee for almost a month, and Walz has been Harris’ running mate for nearly two weeks now. Neither one has done a single interview or press conference – no sit down with 60 Minutes, no meeting with a newspaper editorial board, no Sunday shows. No interviews with local network television affiliates in swing states. Not even an on-the-record chat with his hometown papers or radio stations.
Remember, it’s not just the Democratic ticket that refuses to do a sit down interview or hold a press conference; it’s the current vice president and governor of Minnesota. They have day jobs; answering questions about those duties is part of their job.
JD Vance is doing Sunday shows left and right, and Trump’s doing the NABJ conference, a long and wide-ranging interview with Elon Musk, a New York City drive-time radio show, he held a press conference — the difference couldn’t be any more stark. And it’s long past time that the mainstream media started giving Harris and Walz a lot more grief about their shameless effort to avoid questioning between now and Election Day.
