This week, Hollywood agents are pulling out the red carpet for Kamala Harris. The Democrat running for president is making a series of friendly visits with the media as part of a plan to make her more likeable as the election cycle winds down.
On ABC’s “The View,” hosts like Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg have often praised Kamala Harris; on CBS’s “Late Night” with Stephen Colbert, who is also a friend; and on Howard Stern, who recently called Trump fans “stupid.”
When it comes to Democratic leaders, all of these shows are known for asking “soft-ball” questions that rarely go beyond friendly small talk and praise.
There have been a lot of sudden media appearances, which aren’t really interviews. This comes after Kamala Harris spent most of the last three months avoiding tough questions about policy and her record when it comes to sky-high prices, record-high levels of illegal immigration, and the many other problems her administration has caused.
She hasn’t given a live press conference yet, but former President Donald Trump does them all the time, and he’s not afraid to take questions from an unfriendly news media.
On Tuesday morning, Harris will be on ABC’s “The View.” In the afternoon, she will be on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show,” her team said. She will also be on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show on Tuesday.
She is going to talk to Univision in Spanish on Thursday.
She will be on CBS News’ 60 Minutes on Monday, which is another friendly outlet. In 2020, 60 Minutes lied to its readers about where Hunter Biden’s laptop came from.
People are very angry at Kamala Harris because her government botched the reaction to Hurricane Helene’s destruction. This past weekend, she revealed that $157 million would be sent to Lebanon to help people in need. This comes after she only gave $750 to help Hurricane Helene victims right away.
