Tim Walz VP, Trump press conference, Kamala Harris interviews, Pelosi memoir: The biggest political stories of the week.
SlateEverything has been going Harris’ way since she entered the race. Well, she hasn’t spoken extemporaneously in public for more than about two total minutes since Biden passed her the torch three weeks ago, and we don’t know much about how she would lead the most powerful country in the world beyond the generalities of her stump speech. The Surge understands why her campaign staffers haven’t submitted her for any interviews yet: because she’s been getting away with it. In a brief Tarmac Q&A with traveling press on Thursday—a minimal effort to relieve growing tensions about her availability—Harris said that she wants “to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month.” Well, there’s a whole lot of month left. But it strikes us as more than a little odd that someone whose name will be on the ballot for president of the United States in less than three months—and quite sooner for when mail ballots begin sending out—has not sat down for one interview to fill in the substantial number of blanks on her candidacy.
