Vice President Kamala Harris' principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks confirms that she will conduct an interview before the end of this month following criticism for dodging media appearances since becoming the Democratic nominee for president.

Vice President Kamala Harris will grant her first formal interview since becoming the Democratic nominee for president before the end of August, her principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks confirmed on Sunday.

The announcement comes amid mounting criticism of Harris' lack of media engagement, with some questioning her willingness to address her evolving policy positions.

During an appearance on Fox News's "Media Buzz" with Howie Kurtz, Fulks acknowledged that Harris "owes responses" to the American public regarding her shifted stance on issues such as fracking and health care.

Fulks attributed the misinformation surrounding Harris' views to former President Donald Trump and dismissed concerns about explaining her positions to him.

"The vice president is going to talk to the American people about what her positions are," Fulks stated.

Harris has faced criticism for failing to take interviews or hold press conferences since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee over a month ago.

The Harris-Walz campaign website also lacks detailed information on their policy views, and the recent policy platform unveiled by the Democratic National Convention (DNC) heavily emphasized President Joe Biden's policies rather than Harris'.

Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton believes Harris owes the public an explanation for her policy changes, while some of her supporters, such as former GOP strategist Rick Wilson, argue that she should continue avoiding media interviews.

Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino has also urged Harris to focus on campaigning rather than interviews.

Delegates at last week's DNC expressed varying opinions on Harris' lack of media engagement, expressing patience and emphasizing the importance of party unity.

Fulks' announcement followed the release of the DNC policy platform, which was criticized for its lack of clarity on Harris' positions.

Fox News Digital contacted the Harris campaign for more details about the upcoming interview but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
