As September approaches, speculation intensifies about Kamala Harris' first interview as a presidential candidate.

The clock is ticking for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee last month, Harris has not given an interview or held a formal press conference. On August 9, she stated that she wanted to schedule an interview before the end of the month.

On Sunday, the calendar turns to September, but the Harris campaign has not yet scheduled an interview.

On Wednesday, Politico Playbook analyzed Harris's "big interview decision," which is approaching its self-imposed deadline.

The Democratic nominee has been performing well in the race, but her scripted and light-on-policy candidacy has become an issue. Questions about when, where, and with whom Harris will finally have an interview are currently the focus of the inside conversation.

"TV producers from big name anchors have been pitching their talent to the Harris campaign staff as the person she should talk to, according to Playbook."

According to the report, "several sources" have stated that Harris has been developing a media strategy in the past few days, resulting in "some tensions" between campaign staffers and the vice president's office.

The playbook pointed out that Harris does not have a "rich background with the journalists currently seeking her" for the highly sought-after interview.

The Democratic National Convention included non-traditional media figures and influencers in 2021, according to the report. Harris has stated that she doesn't necessarily need to conduct a major interview, as some of her aides were unhappy with how a 2023 "60 Minutes" interview she did became tense at times.

Ashley Etienne, a former communications adviser to Harris, advised Playbook that the vice president should meet with Gayle King, a CBS anchor who has praised her and donated to her campaigns.

Some journalists from ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN were included in the "reporters in the mix" category.

In 2021, Harris' meeting with Holt resulted in her failed attempts to defend the administration's border policy, causing her to avoid interviews for a year to avoid upsetting President Biden.

Playbook reported that almost everyone they spoke to said that Harris would consider race and gender when making her choice, and that she would likely want to speak with a Black and/or female reporter, although it's not believed to be a requirement.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
