According to a Friday report from NBC News, some Democrats are worried the Harris campaign’s media strategy won’t help win over undecided voters who have yet to warm up to the Democratic presidential candidate. 75 DAYS: KAMALA HARRIS HAS YET TO DO FORMAL PRESS CONFERENCE SINCE EMERGING AS DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE “They’re trying to keep her away,” Steve Shurtleff, former Democratic speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, told NBC News of the Harris campaign.
