Vice President Kamala Harris is facing criticism from Republican opponents, particularly former President Donald Trump, for not scheduling any interviews since becoming the Democratic nominee. Trump accused her of dodging the press, stating that her lack of engagement suggests a lack of intelligence. Despite these critiques, Harris's polling numbers remain strong, surpassing President Biden's performance at a similar stage in the 2020 campaign, with her polling at 47.2% compared to Trump's 43.6%. Following a successful Democratic National Convention, Harris has energized the party and selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate to appeal to conservative voters. While her media strategy is reportedly under discussion, time is running out as she approaches her self-imposed deadline for a formal interview. Meanwhile, Trump's recent comments have showcased a deviation from his previously disciplined campaign approach.
