Former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, have given at least 79 interviews since the Harris-Walz group formed in early August, compared to at least 44 unscheduled interviews for the Democratic presidential run. ticket so far.
After granting just one joint interview in the first three weeks of her campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have ramped up their media appearances in recent weeks to more closely match those of their Republican counterparts. Harris spoke with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on Wednesday in Pennsylvania, marking her first interview on the network.
In addition to a Tuesday appearance on Charlamagne Tha God's radio show, Harris has also done recent interviews with outlets including CBS on “60 Minutes,” liberal magazine Vogue, progressive journalist Roland Martin and podcasts popular ones like “Call Her Daddy”, “All the Smoke” and “The Shade Room”. She also appeared last week on “The View,” where she made headlines for not saying what she would have done differently than President Biden, as well as on the shows of her staunch supporters Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern.
Harris has largely stuck to friendly environments, also speaking to MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle last month, in addition to interviews with local media in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. However, she received public criticism this week from Time Magazine owner Marc Benioff for refusing the outlet's interview requests for an article about her potential presidency.
