Harris says there's 'not a thing' she would have done differently than Biden The Wall Street Journal said: Appearing on “60 Minutes” has been a ritual in presidential campaigns for decades. While the interview might generate news, the fact that it is happening wouldn’t normally be notable. In the case of Vice President Kamala Harris, whose interview on the CBS news program aired Monday evening, such national TV appearances are proving to be rare—turning each one into a high-stakes political event. The “60 Minutes” appearance is part of a Harris strategy as the Democratic presidential nominee to hit all corners of a fragmented media landscape in the final weeks before Election Day, from podcasts to TikTok to talk shows to local radio and TV. In her CBS appearance, Harris touted her small-business proposals, answered a question on how she would pay for her economic plan and defended the Biden administration’s immigration policies. She criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s decision not to appear in the program and said, “I believe in my soul and heart the American people are ready to turn the page.” On Sunday, Harris was on an episode of “Call Her Daddy,” a hit podcast especially popular with young women. On Tuesday, she is set to appear on ABC’s “The View,” hitting an older female demographic, as well as “The Howard Stern Show,” whose audience is nearly three-quarters male, and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” which is popular among young men. Harris’s appearances in the national TV realm so far have been infrequent. They include a joint interview with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on CNN and the Sept. 10 debate with Trump on ABC. “That does increase the risk level for the campaign on each singular appearance,” said Mark Lukasiewicz, dean of the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication at Hofstra University, and a former NBC News executive. “If the candidate does an interview that doesn’t go well, there are fewer opportunities to clean that up, to correct that record.” After years of ratings declines, TV news doesn’t reach as big an audience as it once did, but highlights and lowlights still resonate on social media. Since there are less than 30 days left before the election and early voting has started in many areas, VP Harris new , last minute, 'fragmented media strategy' is designed only to change the narrative about her lack of media appearances. There is no real negative impact with the election on issues from the nonsensical 'word salads' she is spewing to softball questions on TV . Where are the 'fact checks' on statements she made, such as on the border? Here is one from The Washington Post. It is a softball fact check that only addresses three items; her personal gun ownership, immigration & fentanyl. These were categorized as misleading, needing more information & false. Do you think that is all that would happen in a Trump interview?
