Although she has been active on the campaign trail, speaking at various events and giving informal remarks to reporters since taking Biden\u2019s place on the ticket last month, she has yet to hold a formal press conference or a comprehensive interview in a month.<\/p>\n
During this period, she has conducted brief \u201cgaggles\u201d and off-the-record sessions with traveling reporters but has yet to engage in a formal press conference or interview. She declined a formal interview request from TIME, which featured a flattering cover story titled \u201cHer Moment\u201d this week. Additionally, running mate Tim Walz turned down a formal interview request from the New York Times regarding his response to the George Floyd riots in Minnesota.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe left-leaning\u00a0Washington Post editorial board\u00a0challenged<\/a>\u00a0Harris over dodging the media on Sunday, saying of her opponent, \u2018at least he has taken questions.\u2019 The Post said she should account for her numerous policy shifts, including on fracking, border security, and private health insurance,\u201d Fox noted.<\/p>\n CNN\u2019s John Berman questioned Harris spokeswoman Adrienne Elrod about the vice president\u2019s reluctance to give interviews, suggesting that if Harris were willing, she would find the time. On the same day, Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., told Berman that Harris avoided tough questions because her record was \u201cindefensible.\u201d<\/p>\n
