The Harris-Walz campaign has reaffirmed Vice President Kamala Harris' commitment to participate in an interview before the end of August. This decision comes amidst ongoing criticism from the Trump campaign and its supporters for Harris not engaging in interviews since becoming the Democratic nominee.
Michael Tyler, the communications director for the Harris-Walz campaign, emphasized Harris' capability to handle tough questions, stating, 'She's the vice president. She can handle the questions.' Tyler pointed out that Harris regularly interacts with voters during campaign events and assured that an interview with her would take place before the end of the month.
Tyler defended Harris' approach of focusing on direct voter communication rather than media appearances, noting that reporters would have the opportunity for an in-depth conversation with the vice president by the end of the month and throughout the campaign period.
When questioned about the possibility of Harris holding a press conference in addition to the interview, Tyler emphasized the campaign's commitment to engaging directly with the voters who will play a crucial role in deciding the election outcome.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has announced plans to hold a news conference on Thursday, adding to the political discourse surrounding the upcoming election.
