It has been more than two weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris emerged as the Democratic nominee. During this time, she has not granted any interviews or held press conferences, setting a new precedent for candidate access to the press in an unprecedented election cycle.
Harris has experienced a honeymoon period with glowing media coverage, comparisons to Barack Obama, and a tightening of polls against former President Trump. The upcoming DNC convention and the selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate are expected to further boost her candidacy.
