CNN host presses Harris campaign spox on VP’s schedule as she avoids press: ‘She has time’ for an interview

CNN’s John Berman pressed Kamala Harris campaign spokeswoman Adrienne Elrod about dodging the media on Tuesday as the candidate continues to avoid the press after clinching the Democratic nomination. Berman asked Elrod multiple times about Harris’ schedule on Tuesday, and Elrod touted their fundraising numbers and noted that Harris and running mate Tim Walz had made several stops in key swing states over the last week. Elrod said Harris had said she would get an interview scheduled before again noting that Harris was taking her message “to the American people” through rallies and appearances across the country. So she’s actually having those direct conversations,” Elrod said, before Berman jumped in again. She could do an interview today, I would think, you know, because she’s not out there today,” the CNN host said. “Well, look, she’s taking her message directly to voters. And, just because she doesn’t have anything, an interview schedule on her public schedule, doesn’t mean that she’s not taking her message directly to voters about how she’s going to improve their lives, how she’s going to protect their economic freedoms, how she’s going to expand their rights as Americans,” Elrod said. I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,” Harris said. Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris on July 21, and the party rapidly consolidated around her. The Washington Post editorial board called on Harris to engage with reporters on Sunday, saying she should account for her policy flip-flops on a number of issues, including fracking, health care and immigration. They’re about accumulating political capital for a particular agenda, which Ms. Harris can’t do unless she articulates one,” the editors at the Post wrote in an editorial. – This Summarize was created by Neural News AI (V1).
