21. Kamala's Miami event wasn't really covered on TV.

They have to make sure they do events where they speak outside without masks so it's clear, even for a few minutes, to give the networks soundbites that can be replayed over and over. This is what Trump does and it is effective. If you do an intimate sit down event like she did it's not something that gets covered. You need sound bites that revv up the base as well as message to groups we need to turn out. They also need to do events with key groups - not just generic 'meet business people' stuff, but meet with young people, BLM activists etc. Hillary did sit down and have several events with 'Mothers of the Movement' about police issues, and with Latino groups about immigration, etc. She did have to deal with difficult questions but that is necessary to connect with people who feel left out.
