Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign reportedly “declined requests for comment” about when Harris will stop declining the media’s requests for comment.
“The Harris campaign has declined requests for comment about when Harris plans to stop shunning media availability,” the Daily Beast reported on Thursday.
The outlet pointed out that reporters “have not been given a chance” to ask the vice president “questions in an unscripted setting,” noting that Harris has “largely avoided the press since her damaging interview” on NBC’s Nightly News in June 2021, when she gave a bizarre answer to a question about her failure to visit the U.S. southern border.
“Do you have any plans to visit the border?” NBC’s Lester Holt asked, to which an apparently struggling Harris replied, “At some point, you know, we are going to the border, we’ve been to the border. So, this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border, we’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.”
