The interview: Kamala Harris' inaugural sit-down was most notable for seeming ... ordinary

[Dulcinea]

(AP) After avoiding a probing interview by a journalist for the first month of her sudden presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris’ first one Thursday was notable mostly in how routine it seemed.

CNN’s Dana Bash, sitting down with Harris and running mate Tim Walz in a Georgia restaurant, asked her about some issues where she had changed positions, the historical nature of her candidacy, what she would do in her first day as president and whether she’d invite a Republican to be a Cabinet member (yes, she said).

What Bash didn’t ask — and the Democratic nominee didn’t volunteer — is why it took so long to submit to an interview and whether she will do more again as a candidate.

1. Wow, that seems to be an EXTREMELY right-slanted little article.

3. Yes it does. And that's why she should continue to give the legacy press minimal access.

4. I agree, and when they frantically ask "why don't you give us interviews???"...

...she can politely tell them they aren't the only game in town anymore.

5. Or, "What? I can't hear you. I'm busy talking to a real reporter. Who actually reports."

2. why it took so long. Seriously?

A whirlwind month, setting up a campaign (or integrating what Biden wrought), hiring senior staff, selecting a running mate, preparing an acceptance speech (it was all her, she likely wrote it and handed to staff for polishing), campaigning, working in the skeleton of a debate prep schedule, travel .... and they wonder why it took "so long"? Been around the block this month? I hope I can keep Harris' schedule in mind as I ramp up my own productivity. In my minor league life.
