Vice President Kamala Harris has not given a single interview or press conference to the media in the 17 days since she entered the presidential race.
She has repeated the same script in several speeches, first at campaign headquarters, then before party supporters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she introduced vice presidential candidate Tim Walz on Tuesday.
Her only unscripted remarks came last week at Andrews Air Force Base, where she joined President Joe Biden in welcoming Americans released by Russia in a prisoner swap.
Harris, in her signature style, Had made It circulated about the importance of having a president who “understands the power of diplomacy and the strength that comes from understanding the importance of diplomacy.”
Republicans have begun to deride Harris’s strategy as a “basement” tactic, a reference to the Biden campaign’s efforts to keep her off the campaign trail for months in 2020, ostensibly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But there has been some frustration among Republicans because, while the media coverage of her candidacy has been positive, journalists have shown no willingness to ask her questions about her record or policies.
As Breitbart News points out, Kamala Harris’ campaign website has not yet posted the policy.
