Kamala Harris claims she wants to ‘get an interview scheduled’ within 24 days

Vice President Kamala Harris said Thursday that she hopes to arrange her first interview in weeks sometime before Sept. 1 — giving the unambitious 24-day timetable after former President Donald Trump attacked her lack of press access as evidence that she’s “not smart enough” to be president.

“I’ve talked to my team. I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month,” Harris told reporters in a rare on-the-record gaggle as she departed Detroit for a campaign trip to Arizona with her new running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Harris, 59, has taken hardly any reporter questions publicly since President Biden ended his candidacy on July 21 and endorsed her to replace him in the Nov. 5 election.
