Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t given more sitdown interviews because “she’s a very busy person,” one of her advisers told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
“She’s not sitting down for regular interviews or fielding questions from the press, certainly not to the degree that her counterpart Donald Trump is,” Tapper said in his interview with Keisha Lance Bottoms, a senior adviser to the Harris-Walz campaign.
“Why? Why is she not doing more interviews to talk about her policies and answer some of the questions that voters have about her policies and her change on her views in some of them?”
“Well, Jake, she’s done interviews, and I know that we would love—or that you would love—to see her sit down every single day with CNN and do interviews,” Lance Bottoms replied.
“But she’s a very busy person.”
Jake Tapper calls out Kamala for not sitting down for interviews or holding press conferences like President Trump is.

The clip was posted on Twitter by the Trump War Room account and drew scathing comments from users of the social-media site.
One response: “Harris’ plan seems to be to lie until November in the hopes the media can persuade people to vote for her instead of Trump. After that, the plan is probably just to skate through the presidency while the same people who made policy for Biden now make it for Harris.”
Many others suggested the Vice President is avoiding interviews to hide her lack of ideas and inability to express herself coherently.
“We saw why when she sat with Oprah!” Tweeted one user, in reference to the Vice President’s interview with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday, which was widely panned.

“Americans by character are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations,” Harris told Oprah in a rambling monologue.
“We believe in what is possible, we believe in what can be, and we believe in fighting for that. That’s how we came into being, because the people before us understood that one of the greatest expressions for the love of our country, one of the greatest expressions of patriotism, is to fight for the ideals of who we are, which includes freedom to make decisions about your own body, freedom to be safe from gun violence, freedom to have access to the ballot box, freedom to be who you are and just be the love, who you love, openly and with pride. Freedom to just be.”
