Politico Perceives Panic? Team Harris Is Asking Reporters Which Interviewer to Pick
Newsbusters ^ | August 27 2024 | Tim Graham

It's been five weeks and counting since Kamala Harris emerged as the Democrat nominee and we're still waiting for her to submit to her first sit-down interview with the press. She promised to get an interview "scheduled" by the end of August (or Saturday). It's been a while -- she was on Morning Joe two months ago to talk up abortion "access."

In Tuesday's Politico Playbook column, the reporters reported on how reporters are being asked which reporter should be selected for this weighty task.

One real howler in the article:

"In October, Harris did a sitdown with Bill Whitaker on 60 Minutes and talked foreign policy. Some of the exchanges were testy and some Harris aides came away unhappy with the experience."

This is just ridiculous on Harris’s part. Trump by comparison takes all questions from the reporters.

Well to be fair, it’s hard to interview someone who is not in charge, let alone knows what’s going on.

I say it’s going to be Joy Reid/MSNBC.

Who are other possible choices?

Comments I have gleaned from wise viewers on YouTube:

1) Harris is surging and is well ahead.
2) Trump is losing badly and is now in full panic mode.
3) Trump is trying to back out of the debate because he knows Harris will mop the floor with him.

And, here, we see the Harris campaign shopping for a reporter who won’t be mean to her.

I sense a disconnect in Liberal La-La-Land.

Indeed. Not to worry. There’s hacks a plenty who are willing to give Kamala a nice long tongue bath. I could rattle off thirty off the top of my head

Exactly. He knows all about Joy too. Another bonus to having it be Mr. Levin.

Harris campaign staff have been asking reporters who they think she should talk to.

Harris is such a puppet and so indecisive that she can't even decide for herself who to talk to and has to rely on the advice of staff who will follow the recommendations of reporters.

And Democrats claims she has leadership skills. They're delusional, as usual.

Martha Raddatz would be my choice; she doesn’t have an objective bone in her body and was full tilt crying in 2016 when Trump won the presidency. Some nosh about how Senator Kaine’s son was then in the Marines and what would he think of Trump winning; it made no sense whatsoever but then again neither does she. If she can’t do it, I would suggest Hillary sycophant George Stephanopoulous who had a regal dinner with Jeffrey Epstein years AFTER the pedophile had been released from prison as an RSO felon.
