Harris starts to open up to more media interviews after facing criticism for being too closed off

Following a debate that went well for Vice President Kamala Harris, her campaign is slowly starting to increase her engagement with the media by planning more interviews with local media outlets in battleground states, speaking with her traveling press corps, and taking questions from the National Association of Black Journalists. Harris has only done one national television interview since stepping into her current role and has faced criticism for not being more accessible. While her campaign’s strategy has been to minimize interactions with the media to maintain control, some allies are pushing for her to be more open to help voters get to know her better. Polls show that undecided voters need more information about Harris in order to support her. Critics, including conservative and mainstream journalists, are calling on her to do more media interviews, especially with local outlets. Some allies argue that the focus should be on battleground states, while others believe she should not overlook national media entirely. The lack of media accessibility has been a point of concern among undecided voters, who feel that Harris is still unknown. While her allies see no need for a significant increase in interviews, some believe that engaging with the media more could help Harris win over skeptical voters.
