Cover Girl Vice President Harris Declines TIME Magazine Interview

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Vice President Kamala Harris has been notably absent from the media spotlight, declining an interview with TIME magazine and avoiding formal press engagements. This comes after her rise to the top of the Democratic ticket, following President Biden’s announcement of his withdrawal from the race.

TIME Magazine has revealed in their publication that despite giving the Vice President the cover story, she declined to sit down for an interview.

As of Monday, it has been 22 days since Harris last held a formal press conference or engaged in a sit-down interview. This contrasts sharply with the practices of both Biden and former President Trump, who participated in extensive interviews with TIME during their candidacies.

TIME’s recent cover story, which paints a favorable picture of Harris, briefly mentions her refusal to engage with the press, stating, “Harris has yet to do a single substantive interview or to explain her policy shifts. (Her campaign denied a request for an interview for this story.)” The Vice President’s team has not provided further details on this media strategy.
