Kamala Harris Gives Update on Interview Plans [View all]

Source: Newsweek

Published Aug 08, 2024 at 6:43 PM EDT


Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris has given an update on her interview plans amid a wave criticism from Republicans who claim that she is refusing to take questions from reporters.

Harris, who took her place atop the Democratic ticket after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her on July 21, told reporters following a campaign stop in Detroit on Thursday that she was hoping to take part in a major interview "before the end of the month."

"I've talked to my team, I want to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month," Harris said in response to a question about when she would "sit down for [her] first interview since becoming the nominee."

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are scheduled to headline the Democratic National Convention in Chicago from August 19 to August 23.
