Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, has not conducted any press conferences or substantial interviews since Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race, despite being in the position for over eleven days. Critics have noted her avoidance of media interactions, preferring to read prepared statements at public events, raising concerns about her ability to engage with pressing issues like the economy and immigration. Harris's recent appearances, including a eulogy at Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's funeral, have been marked by scripted remarks and a quick exit from potential questions. While she has garnered support from prominent Democrats following Biden’s endorsement, questions remain about her qualifications and connection with voters, with some commentators likening her rise to a reliance on identity politics. This media strategy has drawn comparisons to Biden's 2020 campaign, where he also limited direct media engagement. As election day approaches, the lack of direct communication with the press could pose challenges for her campaign.
