Vice President Kamala Harris wants to run out the clock on the presidential election with zero scrutiny, and she is relying on her liberal media allies to help her.

Harris has not taken questions from the media since becoming the de facto Democratic presidential nominee when President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race. Harris has only been in an unscripted scenario once since then when she rambled about “the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy.”

As Politico revealed, Harris hiding from the media is all part of the strategy. Harris’s team thinks speaking to national media publicly is a bad idea, but Harris has been speaking to her press pool on her plane “often” when off the record. Harris has no intention of taking public questions from anyone because, as someone close to her campaign told the outlet, “She’s getting out exactly the message she wants to get out.”

You can see that best with her decision to make Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) her running mate. Walz does not believe in freedom of speech and exaggerated his military service record to further his political career, including using it to justify his opposition to the Second Amendment. Similar to Harris, Walz is ignoring questions about his record.

Both of them know it doesn’t matter. A fawning liberal media apparatus consisting of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and others are all on their side, and everyone knows it. Even as Harris and Walz duck questions, they are being serenaded with praises, including countless assertions that Walz is “folksy,” and given puff pieces about their fashion choices, their music tastes, or their cooking habits.

Harris is relying on her media allies to help boost her weak political attacks (such as “Republicans are weird”) and to shield her from criticism and scrutiny for as long as she can. She has reversed several positions from her more radical 2020 presidential campaign through campaign statements and refused to answer any questions about them. Her campaign is only going to last just over 100 days, and Harris wants to ride the liberal media enthusiasm to the end to avoid showing everyone just how terrible she is when she isn’t reading from a script.

Harris is relying on liberal media’s shameless partisanship to do all the work of “getting out exactly the message she wants to get out” so she can avoid self-destructing like Biden did on the debate stage. Each day that goes by gets her closer to early voting periods and closer to the presidency without ever facing real scrutiny from a press she knows is entirely on her side.
