Kamala Harris Avoids Media, Raises Questions About Her Competence as Vice President

Despite pressure from the Trump campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris has avoided doing major media interviews since she was sworn into office. This has led to questions about her competence and preparedness for the role.

Vice President Kamala Harris has come under fire for her reluctance to engage with the media, raising concerns about her competence and preparedness for the role. This comes after a CNN report suggested that the Trump campaign was trying to "goad" Harris into speaking with reporters as a way to "trip" her up.

The CNN report argued that the Trump campaign's pressure on Harris to do a major media interview was an attempt to create a contrast with her, since she has been seen as more vulnerable in unscripted moments than when delivering scripted speeches.

However, commentators on social media mocked CNN for appearing to run interference for Harris. Executive producer Maxim Lott mocked CNN's wording with apparent sarcasm, "CNN's lead story ... the Trump campaign has a devious new plan ... trying to goad Harris into a trap known as a ‘major media interview.’"

Senator JD Vance, a Republican from Ohio and Republican vice presidential nominee, suggested that if Harris is "historically vulnerable" doing a media interview, she may not be qualified to negotiate with hostile foreign leaders.

RealClearInvestigations editor-at-large Benjamin Weingarten argued, "The Media is The Regime's PR arm." He criticized the media for not holding Harris accountable for her lack of engagement with the press.

Charlie Harper, founder of GeorgiaPol.com, wrote, "It is amazing that the National Press/White House Press Corps are not demanding a sitting VP and nominee for President take their questions, but also are running interference to project any demand that she answer questions as a partisan plot."

The lack of engagement with the media has led to questions about Harris's competence and preparedness for the role of vice president. She spent less than two minutes talking to the press on Thursday afternoon after 18 days of avoiding the media.

This has raised concerns about her ability to handle the scrutiny and pressure that comes with being a high-profile public figure. It also raises questions about her commitment to transparency and accountability to the American people.

The media has a responsibility to hold those in power accountable. By not aggressively pursuing interviews with Harris, the media is failing to fulfill its role as a watchdog. This is a disservice to the American people, who deserve to know more about the candidates who are seeking their votes.
