The campaign of Kamala Harris is in turmoil over doing a single interview with a news outlet according to Politico, with many different opinions flying around about who is should be with and what it should be about.

Meanwhile, President Trump is doing interviews and press conferences left and right and it exposes just how ridiculous it is that she hasn’t done one yet and is in such turmoil over done one now.

Here’s Politico’s write-up on the inside turmoil over this interview:

THE Q&A QUESTIONS — Nearly three weeks ago, on an airport tarmac in Detroit, Eugene asked VP KAMALA HARRIS about plans for a sitdown interview. She had just formally secured the Democratic presidential nomination and was facing pressure to answer questions about her candidacy in a more formal setting.

Harris gave him a deadline: “I’ve talked to my team,” she said. “I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month.”

That’s four days from now, on Saturday. Of course, “scheduled” doesn’t mean the interview will happen by then. But with the Democratic nominee generally hitting all her marks since entering the race, her scripted, light-on-policy candidacy has become an issue. And questions about when, where and with whom Harris will finally sit down are dominating the inside conversation this week. (DONALD TRUMP has stepped up the pace of his interviews, partially to highlight the gap.)

Harris campaign staff have been asking reporters who they think she should talk to. Behind the scenes, TV producers from big name anchors have been calling the campaign to pitch their talent as the person she has to do it with.

Here are some of the questions rattling around about the decision …

— Who should you send your pitch to? One source of intrigue concerns who in Harris world will actually make this decision. BRIAN FALLON, the campaign’s senior adviser for communications, is generally considered the key person. But the interview has to be coordinated with Harris’s official office, where the communications director is KIRSTEN ALLEN. We hear there are some tensions.

Another source with knowledge of the process said that STEPHANIE CUTTER, senior adviser for message and strategy, will have an outsized role, as well. Campaign chair JEN O’MALLEY DILLON and senior advisor DAVID PLOUFFE represent another camp. And MAYA HARRIS and TONY WEST, Harris’s sister and brother-in-law, will weigh in with their own views. The political operatives on this list all have long-term relationships with TV networks and their major talent. But unlike Biden, Harris herself doesn’t have the same deep history with the journalists now wooing her.

— What’s the goal? There has been considerable debate in Harris world about the purpose and timing of the interview. The main narrative in the political press is that Harris needs to do a lengthy serious interview with a brand-name news anchor who will push her on issues.

Harris herself has expressed disagreement with that view, we’re told by two people, telling some Democrats she doesn’t need a big showy interview. In October, Harris did a sitdown with BILL WHITAKER on “60 Minutes” and talked foreign policy. Some of the exchanges were testy and some Harris aides came away unhappy with the experience.

Former Harris comms adviser ASHLEY ETIENNE told Playbook she thought Harris should have three goals for the interview.

“The first goal would be to peel back some layers on the vice president and show some new dimensions to her,” Etienne said. “There are questions about her worldview and ethos and who she is as a leader.” The convention, she noted, dealt mostly with her bio so any interview should aim to add depth in other areas.

The second goal would be policy. “To be honest, a big audience for this is the inside-the-beltway crowd that really cares about this,” Etienne said. “So she should substantively draw some distinctions with Biden on some policy issues.”

“Third, show her visually as commander-in-chief,” she said. “I would want her to do some in her office at the White House, show her on the road, and also take you inside her home” at the Naval Observatory.

Her pick? Sit down with GAYLE KING on CBS.

— Who else is in the running? The universe of reporters in the mix for this interview is relatively small, especially if the Harris campaign is set on making it a network TV event. ABC’s DAVID MUIR, who has the highest ratings, is co-moderating the Sept. 10 debate, a fact that several TV veterans said might take him and everyone else at the network out of the running for a pre-debate interview. CBS’s NORAH O’DONNELL or NBC’s LESTER HOLT were mentioned the most by people we pinged last night.

NBC’s SAVANNAH GUTHRIE was also a popular choice. Going to a home team booster on MSNBC would not satisfy the media chatter about being challenged in a tough environment, but it can’t be ruled out, and a morning show interview with King might attract the same criticism. At CNN, DANA BASH, JAKE TAPPER, ANDERSON COOPER, KAITLAN COLLINS and ABBY PHILLIP were all considered possibilities.

Going to Holt would make a statement, because he conducted the most famous Harris interview that went off the rails for her. O’Donnell recently announced she’s leaving the CBS Evening News, so it could be a nice capstone for her if Harris cares about that. Almost everyone we talked to said Harris will consider race and gender in making her choice, and that she would be keen to sit down with a Black and/or female reporter, though nobody believes that’s a requirement.

I really like how Marc Thiessen frames this:

Exactly. She’s a lightweight and a liar and that’s what is causing her campaign such anxiety. It’s absurd.
