As we've seen, Kamala Harris seems to be doing everything she can to avoid answering reporters' questions. She hasn't done an interview since she was handed the Democratic nomination for president without one vote of the people. She's put off the media, saying, well, maybe she'll do an interview by the end of the month. She doesn't even have any policies on her website. That makes it easier for her just to say whatever she thinks will be most appealing to whatever audience she's talking to, so she can be all things to all people, even if those things contradict each other.

On Monday, Fox's Peter Doocy said, “We’re being told by the VP that if we want to know what she thinks about current events or where she stands on the issues, we do have to wait a little bit longer.”
The pressure is on for Kamala to speak to the press! What are you hiding? Your incompetence?

Doocy also mentioned internal tensions in the Harris campaign involving Jen O'Malley Dillion, Harris' campaign head, who had been Biden's campaign head. She wants to know that with new people coming in, it won't water down her position. How about being more concerned about actually presenting a campaign that the American public can evaluate and a candidate who will answer questions?
That report notes that even Charlamagne tha God is criticizing this strategy of not doing any interviews.
“I really don’t know, I mean we’re in the bottom of the 9th inning, right? Like I feel like she should be any and everywhere, you know, having these conversations. I truly don’t know why she hasn’t done any interviews yet.”

Exactly. Harris said she was going to be focused on the economy when she gets around to putting out policy positions. But she's occupying office now; what has she done in that capacity? Biden-Harris has only made everything worse. So why would anyone believe anything about what she says she wants to do in the future?
And now Harris has made things even worse. Not only is she skipping out on any interviews, but she ditched her press pool, which is supposed to be reporting on her movements, and that's a big no-no, as Doocy pointed out.
NEW: Peter Doocy reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris ditched her press pool to avoid speaking to the media.

"Vice President Harris is supposed to travel everywhere she goes with a press pool. We just learned that she left her press pool behind to attend an event at Howard University."
Her trip to Howard also doesn't seem to be on her schedule released to Roll Call. So why was she trying to ditch the media when she went there? What was she afraid they might see and/or ask her? This is not a game; this is supposed to be about serving the American people, and when you are ditching the press, you are ditching informing the American people in the process.

Harris thinks she can treat the media like dirt and do anything she wants, that they will still be loyal to her. She's probably mostly right on that. But let's see if they do any pushback on this, which is a big diss to them. If she can't even deal with the regular press pool, how is she supposed to deal with hostile world leaders? This is nuts, she isn't even answering the press as much as Biden is.
