Harris Faces Scrutiny Over Campaign Strategy

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's presumptive 2024 presidential nominee, has not conducted any interviews or press conferences since assuming her new role, prompting criticism regarding transparency. Some campaign insiders suggest she aims to distance herself from President Biden's economic policies despite her involvement in the administration for the past four years. Polling indicates that Harris has improved her standing against former President Donald Trump, yet many voters express distrust of her economic capabilities, mirroring sentiments previously held against Biden. Analysts note that while her strategy of avoiding the press appears to be working temporarily, it may not be sustainable if her poll numbers decline. Harris's recent policy proposals, such as eliminating taxes on tips, have been criticized as lacking originality, echoing Trump’s previous plans. As the election approaches, the effectiveness of this silence strategy remains uncertain, especially if the political landscape shifts.
