Vice President Kamala Harris' quiet schedule on Tuesday raised concerns among political experts who questioned her apparent lack of urgency with less than three weeks until Election Day.
Harris has repeatedly said she is running as an underdog, but her schedule does not seem to reflect that claim. Harris has one event on his schedule for Tuesday. He will be interviewed by Charlamagne the God at 5pm ET.
Typically, candidates in the final stages of a presidential campaign travel across battleground states, speaking to as many undecided voters as possible at town halls, local events and rallies.
Polls show Harris is losing support among men, black voters and Hispanic voters, while former President Donald Trump is leading the race on the back of her performance in 2020 and 2016. Polls in battleground states show Trump leading Harris or within the margin of error. Voter registration and early voting also appear to benefit President Trump in many states.
“Does Kamala need all day to prepare for Charlamagne?” pollster Patrick Ruffini asked of X.
“Why isn't she in three battleground states in one day?'' Why isn't she in four media markets now instead of one in Pennsylvania?'' Political Analyst Mark Halperin said on The Morning Meeting. “Assuming she's behind, again, she's not by much of a difference right now, which I think is correct. Why doesn't she try harder?”
Sean Spicer, a Republican political analyst who worked in the Trump administration, questioned from a public relations standpoint why the Harris campaign isn't even trying to create the impression that it's working hard.
“It gives the impression that she's busting her butt, but they don't even try to emphasize that aspect to create the perception that she's hustling. And the other day, she went out. and said, “We are the underdogs.'' we are late. ”Okay, now show me what a loser you are. Act like weaklings, but don’t go, we are weaklings,” he said.
Dan Turrentine, a former Congressional Democratic staffer, said that while Harris' tight schedule contrasts with the perception that Trump is the most aggressively campaigned candidate, Harris continues to be ignored by the media. He said it was perceived as hidden. “No one is going to sit there and say that Ms. Harris is really open to the media, that she's on an open book, and that Mr. Trump is hiding,” Turrentine explained. morning meeting.
Harris' strategy for the final month centered on national interviews with celebrity hosts, who are often friends with her. Last week, she was interviewed on Call Her Daddy. the viewCBS News 60 minutes — A controversial interview, perhaps for the wrong reasons.
on monday, Harris' campaign announced that she would be allowed to sit in on Wednesday's Fox News interview. Critics say her scheduled appearance on Fox News smacks of desperation as she appears to be limping into the final three weeks of her presidential campaign. .
