A CNN reporter believes that Trump and the GOP are not loud enough to make Harris commit to a serious press interview.

If the Trump campaign and GOP want to force Vice President Harris to take an interview, they need to be louder about her avoiding the press, according to CNN national correspondent Kristen Holmes.

During a CNN panel discussion on Tuesday, the reporter discussed Harris' reluctance to participate in sit-down interviews and unscripted press conferences.

Holmes stated that the narrative from Republicans and the Trump campaign may not be loud enough to compel her to take action at this point.

Holmes on CNN
CNN reporter Kristen Holmes said that the Trump campaign hasn't created enough of a narrative to force Vice President Kamala Harris to do a serious interview.

Since being endorsed by President Biden to replace him as the presidential candidate, Harris has gone 37 days without having a serious media interview. However, she recently stated that she plans to have an interview scheduled before the end of the month, which is just a few days away.

Although the Trump campaign and Harris' media critics have highlighted her limited press appearances, Holmes informed CNN anchor Manu Raju that it hasn't been significant enough to prompt the vice president to alter her approach, as she remains popular compared to Trump.

According to Holmes, Democrats are content with the current progress.

She voiced doubts about Harris' promise to conduct an interview before the end of August.

The reporter said, "But she has now stated that she will conduct an interview by the month's end. We're approaching the end of the month."

Amused, Raju added, "Pretty close."

During their earlier discussion, Holmes stated that Harris' avoidance of the press aids her in reinventing herself and her policies since her loss in the early stages of the Democratic primaries during the previous general election cycle.

"She has the chance to alter the story because there is no immediate memory of what she said in January of this year," she stated.

Despite Holmes' statement that Harris' change in stance on fracking, from opposing it in 2019 to not banning it as president, should raise concerns among voters, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on her campaign.

"Pennsylvania is a crucial state in determining how to go from A to B, especially when making tight turns, and fracking plays a significant role in changing one's opinion on this matter."

It appears that Holmes' colleagues at CNN suggested that Harris' evasion of the press should be addressed, and that a "softball interview" would not be sufficient to resolve the issue.

In a CNN segment on Tuesday, anchor Kasie Hunt stated that while softball interviews may not put the issue to rest, the decision of who the Harris team chooses to interview will determine whether she took the tough questions or if the snowball continues.
